One Minute Mug Cake

You know what I looooove? 

• peanut butter + chocolate
• single serve dessert
• this mug:  

(Among other things, of course, but I am a bit of a fat kid.)

I mean everyone loves the salty, creamy peanut butter + rich, dark chocolate combo I'm pretty sure.
And this cake is a total hero when you're in dire need a sweet treat...
Like a serious treat, ok.
Not a yogurt or a granola bar. CAKE.
And the best part is this isn't a cake that leaves you with guilt or regret.
Because it's full of wholesome, nutritious ingredients.
Oh, and because it takes one whole minute to make :)

iPhone dump

Back at the end of February, Hunter and I finally caved and bought ourselves iPhones... After months of debating/agonizing over how we don't actually neeeed smart phones and/or the extra bill that comes along with them. But 2 months later we're certainly not regretting it. Mostly we're in love with having a camera with us everywhere! Here are some (tons) of my faves since I got this fancy thing.

(playing with water is Lily's #1 favorite past time... doesn't matter how cold it is outside)

(poor baby with a huge bonk on her head)

(oh just hangin' in the "fort") 

(I'll never get enough of watching this girl sleep)

(how come it's not as cute when I stare longing at ice cream like that?)

(sliiiiiide)

(this commute is killing me)

(we threw a baby "shower" for some of our favorite friends)

(got to see the unks and celebrate Ty+Beth's engagement!)

(played in the bath)

(watched some George)

(snuck the jelly beans out of the Easter basket when mom wasn't looking)

(decorated Easter cookies)

(grew into the pink polka dot raincoat from Grandma Ree)

(discovered how fun it is to take "peeek-chas"of ourselves)

(washed our "haaaaaaaynes")

(made new friends... brand new friends. Lily+Amelia=BFF)

(celebrated daddy's birthday)

(snuggled with her bestie)

(studied OChem?) 

(played with Gracie, another fave)

(just hung out. ha.)

(went swimming!!! ps this is my new favorite picture of all time)

(all fancied up for a pre-church family coffee date)

(painting & practicing colors: orange=oinch, purple=pupu, green=geeeeee)

(Survived the last (knockonwood) snowstorm of the year. In May. It sucked.)

April already huh?

Life is so sweet these days. 

Sweet in the way only the mama of a nearly 2-year-old can understand. 

Also, exhausting in the way only a full-time working mama with a full-time student/ also working husband can understand. 

i.e. 

We're worn out. 

But we're blessed. 

We're tired. 

But we're so thankful. 

We're savoring sweet bath time and playing with babies and coloring and giggling a lot. 

We're counting down the days until school's out in May. 

We don't have that much time for the internet. 

Which is ok because life is happening... and fast! 

Printable Muffin Recipe Cards

My little leave of absence is turning into an extended leave of absence. 

It all started with giving up social media for lent... But it was so nice to unplug!

I've only blogged a handful of times in the past month. 

But not to worry, it's not that I'm uninspired. Quite the opposite actually. 

The break is giving me a chance to find original inspiration all around me. 

I've been working on new designs & I've been teaching baking classes & I've been planning baby showers & I've been listening to my baby girl TALK like crazy!  

I wanted to share the recipe cards I designed for a recent baking class I taught. 

It's the recipe for my basic, go-to gluten free & vegan muffins. 

And you can print it out to use forever & ever :)

Here you are. 

My go-to gluten free & vegan muffin recipe. 

Hand drawn + designed by yours truly. 

You can print it any size you wish.

Or maybe you want to print two 4x6 recipe cards? 

One for you + one for a  friend :) 

I've got ya covered. 

Now go make some fabulous muffins! 

Enjoy :) 

New Bow+Arrow Options!

Happy Saturday!

I had blueberry/almond pancakes for breakfast + an iced mocha for an afternoon snack + it's game night tonight with some of my very very favorite people.

I hope yours is a good one too :)

I just wanted to pop in to share some new options in the Bow+Arrow etsy shop.

                               

First off you can now get THREE 8x10 prints for $40!

They're $15 each folks, so that's a deal.

Also, you can now choose to get any print in the shop as a 5x7 for only $9.

Hooray for tiny prints!

But why get one 5x7 when you can get THREE 5x7s for only $25?

Perfect little gifts :)

There you have it.

Big thanks to my girl, Carina, for the fabulous graphics!

We've both got new prints coming soon so stay tuned.
