Hello Friends! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! We enjoyed our first festival of the season and started to work on our home project list. Those home projects are always around and we are hoping to get started on a project soon. There is just something about the anticipation of summer that makes me want to get started on home projects.

Speaking of embracing the season, we made these easy breakfast pastries recently. They are so easy to make and what is great is that it is easy to put your own spin on them.
