forgetful

Last night, I completely forgot.  I failed to remember that Ben and I were going out together.  To a restaurant.  Like a legit night out.

You'd think, I'd be waiting by the door donning stilettos for this kind of outing.  Instead, Ben came home to a wife covered in flour and the kitchen a disaster.

Let's just say I can do some crazy cleaning when it comes to getting a night out.  Just say the word...or is that just remember the word?

The results: my cherry pie {softens the blow of my forgetfulness}

{I just used this pie crust recipe, some cherry pie filling from the can, with lemon zest and sugar}

The results of our chocolate covered pretzel making.  

I am in the midst of planning a baby shower for my sister-in-law.  I'm really excited about the decorations and the challenge of a winter baby shower.  It's pretty safe to post my Pinterest inspiration board as they are rarely online.  I'm especially excited about featuring a popcorn bar, trail-mix station, and hot chocolate bar.
