Did you even know I was gone? We got home last night from a wonderful week long family vacation in San Diego. I feel like all I did was eat (because that is pretty much what I did!). So unfortunately I won’t be celebrating National Ice Cream Day today, but you totally should!!
I’m a fall kinda gal. And these collections aren’t helping summer’s case.

There are only a few things that I make in the kitchen that are fabulous. These ham delights are fabulous. To further persuade you, I got this recipe a few years ago from my brother and sister in law who just so happen to own my favorite restaurant {shout out to the Mill House!}. They know good food. You’ve likely seen (or even made) a version of these sandwiches before. I assure you these are worth trying. They get requested for every party.
Please help me welcome Pretty Mommy and go visit her shop. It is the definition of chic!
It’s been awhile since I’ve done an Etsy favorites post. There’s a lot to love on that site!
Since beginning my blog in September I’ve made countless friends and have had some wonderful experiences. But nothing has been as wonderous as the response to Amanda’s story that I posted on Wednesday. The number of prayers, comments, and emails that we received was absolutely incredible. SO many of you shared the link on your facebook and twitter pages. It was pure joy to see the love spread. I was astonished at how many strangers reached out to help by contacting medical professionals in their area or by simply sharing their own stories. I will be forever grateful to you all. Please know that your messages have provided comfort to Amanda and her family.
I also want to thank some of my blogger friends who in an effort to gather more knowledge and prayers generously shared Amanda’s story on their own blogs. Thank you so much to these blog authors:
