Baby Boy Morris is on his way!
We couldn't be more excited to announce baby boy Morris coming in April. I am much more tired this time around probably due more to Miss O than the baby but things have been a real struggle to get through each day.
I probably won't be regularly posting updates but will be sharing any fun things as they come up and as I have the time and energy to post.

Double Chocolate Caramel Bread
Are you in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving prep? If so you may want to take a quick break and make this bread. I was never a true fan of pumpkin pie. I would have my own slice on Thanksgiving and be good for the year. If I can sneak in a different dessert I do. This double chocolate caramel bread can be just that. Or if you just need a chocolate break before all the happenings begin I highly recommend making a loaf.
This loaf has a double dose of chocolate with both cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips. The caramel on top is an extra bonus. Just what you need for a extra bump of energy.

Thanksgiving Day Dishes
Can you believe it is Thanksgiving week already? I was at the store yesterday morning and there were mountains of food everywhere. Crowds of people were there too despite the early timing of my visit.
Life has been busy. Days are focused on what needs to get done and lots of prioritizing. Luckily we have a few days off this week to sit, relax and be thankful with our friends and family.
