Zucchini Carrot Bread






Jack and I had fun using the giant zucchinis from our garden to make a delish zucchini carrot bread! Yum! We made a bunch and tried out different combos. On the whole we used half whole wheat flour and half regular. We substituted apple sauce for some of the oil, and we added chocolate chips, raisins, and walnuts to one batch! yum!

Sauvie Love!

After that the night was filled with berry picking, sprinkler running, and dancing! ohhhh heart!

A hat for Lincoln!




Lincoln just turned 1 yesterday and is the cutest cutie pie so I decided to use some leftover Blue Sky Alpaca dyed cotton to make him a stripey hat! My son, Jack-Jack, modeled it for me as I still need to ship it out to the birthday boy! We love you Lincoln pants!
