every year since we were old enough to care, we’ve celebrated the oscars with my mom in style … well, at least the cuisine always is anyway. the story was no different this year. we gathered around the coffee table with chocolate fondu, chocolate chip cookies, pot stickers, fresh chips and salsa, deviled eggs, and one can never forget the sparkling water with a lime … or two … or three. it has become one of those traditions that our family looks forward to all year … even kramer gets all worked up over it.

do you have any fun oscar traditions? i would love to hear them if you would like to share.

recently, i’ve been trying to collect a few really simple and delicious recipes … ones that i could turn to in a pinch. so, when i saw this cooked banana with peanut butter, chocolate chips, and coconut on top while browsing pinterest (where else) the other day, i knew we had to try it. and … i’m so glad we did! it’s super easy and we’ve already had it a few times since. plus, i’ve been unusually into bananas lately … such a strange thing to be into but they just always sound really good. i think i might make it for dessert tonight while we watch our guilty pleasure, the bachelor (camden would like me to mention here that it’s mostly my guilty pleasure and he just watches it to be nice … but i think we all know he secretly loves it too).

things have been busy, busy around here but oh how it has been nice out the past few days … the strangest winter weather we’ve ever seen. however, you absolutely will not hear any complaints out of us. since it has been in the sixties and our heads have been tricked into thinking it’s spring, the three of us have been spending any spare time we can find taking long walks, mostly in the evenings after dinner and have been making them as long as we can … sometimes a few hours … we just can’t get enough of that vitamin d. plus i’m sure any time now, february will remember what season it belongs in and snap back into its regular chilly and cold days covered in frost. but until then ….

camden and i are also trying to plan a little trip somewhere … a bit of a babymoon if you will. we have been bouncing back and forth between which destination we should visit but we can’t seem to help ourselves from dreaming of the ocean. we’ll see where that leads us.

our baby room is still a mess but we are slowly collecting bits and parts of everything we need. that beautiful wall hanging above was created with baby jude in mind and i can’t wait to see it in his room after it’s been all put together.

i’m not going to lie, i might have canceled my exercise class tonight so we could watch the bachelor … anyone else?

what has been happening in your worlds lately … i would love to hear!
