Hi Lilan! I have been working all day while my husband took the kids to Santa Cruz to visit his father. I haven’t had a whole day to myself since the 14 mo. old was born. Too bad I didn’t get to spend it at the spa!
My son discovered carrot cake today and he LOVED it! I hope you will post your recipe. I’m sure it’s yummy.

Hi Elizabeth!
Aww I’m bummed that you weren’t able to spend the day in Santa Cruz OR the spa! But it sounds like you had a nice, quiet day to yourself nonetheless
The carrot cake was delicious indeed and I’m so glad your son enjoys it now too!
Hope you’re gearing up for the week, I’m praying that the weather will stay nice!
