This week I celebrated my birthday and chose to make my own cake. Why, you ask? Because I knew exactly the kind of cake I wanted and I can be a control freak. I always love lemon desserts but rarely make them because it’s not my husband’s favorite flavor. But since it was MY birthday, I made a lemon poppy seed layer cake with lemon curd filling topped with lemon buttercream frosting. What can I say? This pregnant mama wanted lemon!
We just got back from a vacation up north and I was able to get in a lot of reading! From the long car ride to and from the trip to the beach and sitting on the porch, I tried to get in as much reading as possible. Meaning . . . I may be able to put out four more book reviews later this month. Follow me on Instagram (@planningforkeeps) if you want to be the first to know!
A day at the beach with a toddler can be so much fun or a complete nightmare. It depends on how prepared you are! Here are a number of recommendations to bring with you to the beach to ensure your toddler is safe and happy. We use these beach must-haves on an almost weekly basis in summer. Don’t plan a trip to the beach with a toddler without these essentials.
We’ve all been spending A LOT of time at home this year. If you are like me, you want a great show to watch at night for entertainment while you relax. These shows are definitely binge-worthy. I usually stay away from suspense and horror. Comedy, romance, and a little reality (only sometimes) are more my speed. I hope you find your next great binge-worthy show on this list.
