Feeling adventurous this Valentine’s Day? Would you like to expand your baking repertoire? Try making some heart macarons!
These beauties are from Jayme over at Delectable Deliciousness (picture is by Jayme, too). Macarons are futzy to make but they are sooo good. These particular heart-shaped goodies are red velvet with cinnamon buttercream. Oh how I wish I had the time to make them!
In other happenings: I am no longer nursing Evelyn. She isn’t completely weaned yet but she has lost all interest in nursing after becoming so mobile and I lost my supply. Not a big deal because I was hoping to stop breast feeding around her first birthday but it still makes me kind of sad. I think it is worse because that was our time to be close. She doesn’t like to snuggle (didn’t like to even when nursing) but I could still hold her close. Now I just have to hope for those moments when she wants to sit on my lap and look at a book or just rest. Just another milestone on the road to becoming and independent member of society, I guess. The up side- I got to get some new bras and thew out my nasty nursing bra that had a missing hook and a hole in the band. Good riddance! It’s so refreshing to have the ladies back to myself for awhile.
