My family is home after a fun couple of days in Chicago. My niece is interested in cooking and baking. We made a bunch of different cookies that are family favorites, along with blueberry muffins and brownies. I loved spending time with the kids and want to freeze time as they are growing up way too fast.
Saturday was a rainy day, giving me some extra quality time with Henri. We cooked at home, and I made fresh tomato sauce from the farmer’s market in our Staub.
It was nice to be at home, get back into a workout routine, and catch up on life.
August is going to kick off calendar season and go straight into the holidays. If you are new around here, I release a calendar each year at the same time with my photographs of Paris taking you through the seasons. This week, I did a few test prints with the latest prints from my June trip. The calendar has some fun updates you will love.
Weekend reading is up on the blog. Some of my favorites include:
