{published on january 26, 2020} today, we made the most adorable valentine’s love letter cookies! we used the same heavenly pillowy soft cookie recipe from yesterday’s journal post and i’ve added the ICING RECIPE below! we also used the scalloped cookie cutter…
Wow! Your blog is simply awesome. Love the pictures. Beautifully captured
Thank you so much! I’m really enjoying your blog as well. I can’t wait to visit all the places you mention!
Something as simple as taking the kids strawberry picking might not seem like much but it’s enough to create a life time of memories.
I agree! My favorite moments from my childhood are the ones of my family and I going apple picking in the orchards of upstate New York. Each year, as summer started winding down, I looked forward to this so much!! My parents didn’t think to take any photos so they only exist in our memories. I sure am making up for that now with maybe TOO many photos of my own little family…😜
Such cute darlings you have. And the pictures. Wow!! They just make me want to be there once I realize I am not there.
Thanks, Sammi! Ahhhh, these kids grow up just too fast.
This makes me want to pick fruit with my boys. I wish that there were strawberry fields here in the desert of Albuquerque but our crops are green chile, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and fruit trees like apples and peaches.
Oh, Tara – I would LOVE to go pick green chile, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, apples & peaches in Albuquerque! That sounds so fun! Isn’t apple picking time coming up? I don’t know if they let us pick our own apples here in Italy, but we are definitely going to check them out this fall. Can’t wait to see your photos when you go!
These pictures are so great! I would love to do this sometime with my kids!
This was our third year going – we went one more time the following year and it was just fun and exciting each time! You should definitely go next summer!
I love how unique your blog is. The photos, the writing… I can imagine you and your kids looking back in 25 years and loving everything.
Oh, thank you Heather! I LOVE yours too! So inspiring! Kate LOVES your homemade jam photos and keeps asking when we can make them too!
Beauty photos! A real delight to follow along on the strawberry picking journey. I felt like a child again. What a wonderful immersive, child-friendly experience that exposes them to the importance of supporting locally-sourced food and healthy eating.
These two kiddos definitely keep me feeling young and because of them we try to eat healthier! It really is such a joy to see their faces when they learn how food is grown! Thanks for stopping by!!
This is such a great post and reminds me of my apple picking days as a child.My girls love to go picking apples, my hubby likes the cider.
I love strawberries and I love the place also. the kids they enjoy picking strawberries 🙂
Beautiful pictures and so candid…nice photography work
Took me a minute to find you comment box! Loved this shoot in the strawberry fields! Everything ties in together nicely. xo, Suzanne
What a cute blog! Funny way of strawberry picking. Those pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
Oh we love berries picking! There is nothing better than fresh fruits and veggies, I am sure the kiddos had a blast.
