Babycakes is FIVE MONTHS OLD. How did this even happen?

It’s crazy to me how quickly the time seems to be going by. And at the same time, time seems to just stand still some days LOL. Babycakes is going into a phase of teething and fussiness, plus he has been waking up wayyyy too early each day. Trying to get a good sleep schedule for him has been a challenge but I am hopeful we will have it soon?

Really I’m just SO excited to start introducing food! It’s going to be such an adventure and I can’t wait to see what he likes. We’ve been giving him tiny tastes of things and with that he seems to be getting more and more interested in the food we eat. Drop your guesses on what his first favorite food will be in the comments below! Or just tell me what your kid’s favorite was because I’m always curious!

Song of the Week is Don’t Panic by Coldplay. We just got a new record player setup and I can FINALLY play my Garden State Soundtrack album. I’m flashing back to blasting that record all summer long in high school with my friends with the windows down… SO GOOD.

grilling season must-haves!

Grilling season is officially here! I’ve been trying to grill more since it doesn’t make the house hot AF. Here’s some of my favorite tools to use when grilling!

Pizza stone – preheat it while the grill is heating up! Throw your pizza on it and it’s like having your own pizza oven.

Tongs – I love these extra long tongs!

Grill brush – a must for every grill and this one works SO well.

Basket – perfect for grilling things that are small or tend to roll around like cherry tomatoes, etc.

Grill mats – alternative to the grilling basket, these are great to make a flat surface for smaller items or more delicate items like fish.

my favorite grilling recipes

Since we are already talking about grilling, let’s talk about some recipes you should make this summer! Here’s my current favorites and ones I keep coming back to week after week:
