| Happy weekend, friends! Can you believe it's already almost July? I spent the week catching up on all of the things: ongoing house projects, organizing the boys' things, and starting to get back into a normal work routine after turning in my cookbook manuscript. June's Recipe of the Month: we're over halfway through! You have until this Friday (6/30) to make this gorgeous Strawberry Shortcake Bread and share it for a chance to win this month's prize.
