One year ago today, my little Etta Jones was born. Did 12 months really just go by?? It feels very cliche to say this, but kids grow up way too fast. (Only kids, that is, we age at a snail's pace, right?) Looong days, short years... that sums up being a parent. Jack starts his last year of preschool next week, and before I know it I will be sending Etta off with packed lunches as well. Time to have 12 more babies like the Duggar family. And SPEAKING of packed lunches for lots of kids (I'm good at transitions), look what showed up on my doorstep yesterday! Catherine McCord's new book! If you're unfamiliar with Catherine and her site Weelicious, then you cray cray. She creates the most unique, healthy and delicious dishes. I've been obsessed with her first cookbook for awhile now, and I'm so excited to delve into this one, especially as a mom who has to make her son's lunch every day! Also, is "delve" a word because it looks funny. Hmm.
I mean, Avocado Hummus???
Catherine is letting me give away a cookbook to YOU. So please comment below to win. Winner will be chosen at random on Monday morning.
And finally, one more sneak peek at my OTHER baby, our new kitchen (I promise a bigger reveal next week)... I am writing from this banquette area:
I am interested in this lovely giveaway! Does it help that I also follow you on Twitter?
