currently crushing on I howsweeteats.com

Welcome to my first crushes of 2017! It feels like FOR.EV.ER (sandlot style) since I’ve shared a crushing on post… and it has been. Today we’re going to take down our Christmas decor and I am so sad about it – this season was so much fun with Max. I probably haven’t been this sad for the season to end since I was like twelve years old.

But! I’m really looking forward to 2017 and right now I’m knee deep in the photography for my next book. It’s bitter cold here, so tonight I’m thinking lotssss of hot chocolate.

What is happening with you guys?!

So many good things on the internets below:
