RHUBARB CHERRY YOGURT // elspeth

This just in:


Stewed rhubarb (chopped rhubarb cooked down with the tiniest splash of water and a bit of maple syrup) + plain, whole grass milk yogurt + a drizzle of luxardo cherry juice, and of course a cherry on top = Heavens to Betsy ! Lunch-packing in a pinch turns out genius. Currently the only category of parental wins, but I'll take what I can get.

Be back soon, friends.

FILLED WITH BUTTER // elspeth


Live from the internet...celebrating is good for you! Amen. Gratitude is too. And butter is a health food! (Duh). Which is why today we're celebrating our babysitter Casey's arrival for the summer with a big Thank You World ! followed by rhubarb pie with a flakey butter crust


Happy rhubarb season, friends. Don't forget to celebrate it, and thank you, as always, for being here.

SUNSHINE & BIRTHDAY CAKE // elspeth


The sun is out. The sun is out ! We made pizza for dinner and the girls played outside afterward, mixing dirt and chives and watermelon rinds into a chocolate cake they baked under the lilac bush. Three of us pretended to devour it with real spoons and one of us took an actual bite before realizing it was not, in fact, actual cake. I brought a blanket out and Alex and I sat, for a minute, wrapped up, watching the girls pick wildflowers and count the asparagus spears.

Four up! It's officially spring.

In other important news, last week my mom and my sister came to visit for my birthday, and my sister made an amazing chocolate cake. In case you need one—in case you have a happy, sunny celebration coming up, which I sincerely hope you do—here's the link
