happy birthday ziva

You would have been 3 years old today.  Today I will remember you for the sweet, loveable, energetic, curious and very playful little girl that you were.  You left an impression on my heart that will last a lifetime. 

   Run free my sweet ziva.

    I miss you and love you.  Always. 

sunday edition: september moments

A week ago I was taking in this breathtaking view.  Breathing in the salty atlantic ocean air in a quaint historical region known as Peggy's Cove in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

 Today, I am sitting in my living room next to this little love who has completely captured my heart.  Meet Bianca.  Isn't she gorgeous!  Remember when I told you about her when she was just a day old.  She's now four months old and the newest member of my family.

I think I found the recipe for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I know that's a bold claim. But, I for one will be using this as my go-to recipe. I baked it no so long ago and was not disappointed in the least.  These cookies are everything they claim to be. A thick, chewy, rich with chocolate chip and buttery goodness.  The recipe can be found on this great blog.   I'm sure you won't be disappointed if you decide to whip up a batch. 

Happy Sunday.
