Hello, hi there, hey!
I've been a busybusy bee and thought that with the wee bit of down time I have right now, that it'd be a good time to update. This past week has been so lovely! Filled with photo shoots, dinner with friends, reading, and crafting. Pretty much my favorite things in life.
Here's a picture of the uber fun photo shoot in the Elfin Forest! K and I got the chance to show off some of the crowns we've been making from
The Strawberry Window. Our stunning friend Tori came on the shoot with us and
Miss Josie took our pictures!!! (She's amazing.)
So THAT'S pretty fun. :)
Not to mention.... I'm up in Shaver Lake right now with
K and some of our other lovely friends! We got up here on Tuesday and won't be leaving until NEXT Tuesday! One full week up in the lovely mountains!!!! Ugh it's been so lovely and relaxing so far. Filled with eating delicious food, easy strolls in the wilderness, movies and games galore, and hot tubbing in the chilly night air.
Seriously, so great. I wish I was better about taking food pictures because
K has made some of the best meals I've ever had. No joke.
Tuesday night it was chicken in the new rotisserie my mom gave me (thanks mom!), roasted beets, brussel sprouts in butter, butternut squash with nutmeg, and fennel with onions braised in red wine. LOOK LOOK LOOK!!!
Breakfast was an omelet with zucchini, onions, swiss chard, and raw milk cheddar cheese. So delicious.
Dinner last night we had amazing indian food with lots of carrots, spices, chicken, garbanzo beans, and magic.
K really out did her self by making a gluten free coconut flour cinnamon coffee cake (sweetened with maple syrup and honey as opposed to refined sugar), with a raw milk honey whipped cream, and sauteed pear sauce drizzled over the top. I ALMOST DIED. It was so delicious and for the most part, something I was able to eat even with all of my silly food allergies. (For those who don't know.... the allergy list includes wheat, soy, sugar, rice and dairy besides raw milk. Also for the time being, no other grains, potatoes, nuts, and bananas. Random, I know.)
Basically,
K is magic and always comes up with the most amazing things for me to eat. Like tonight, its coconut flour chicken nuggets. CRAZY.
Anywho, the cabin has been lovely so far and we still have 5 full days left :) Our goal is to not only have a grand time with family and friends while we're up here but also get lots of goodies done for
The Strawberry Window! The plan is to get a ton of headbands done tonight so look out for those suckas!
Alrighty, I'm off to eat more and craft. Jealous?
Happy Thursday my friends!
Love, Lo
