Butter Pecan Cake

If you’re a fan of butter pecan ice cream, then you will love this cake as much as I do. I created it to have all of the same flavor notes as the ice cream, sweet vanilla with buttery pecans. It’s an extra special cake for the holidays because it’s just rich enough to be holiday worthy but not too heavy that you can’t enjoy it after eating a big holiday meal. You can even serve it instead of the usual pecan pie.

I love old brick buildings. They have so much char I love old brick buildings. They have so much character! Corey and I recently visited upstate New York and swooned at all of the beautiful historical architecture there. We might also be keeping a little secret related to that and I can’t reveal details just yet, but I will soon 🤫🤐 

Here’s a recent hand sketched building logo completed for a client that is turning a brick house into an Inn. ❤️💜

On a personal note…Corey and I are celebrating 20 years married today. Wow, that makes me feel both accomplished and…old!! 👵🏻 Two decades with my best friend. Crazy.
Is it the weekend yet? Who else is in need of so Is it the weekend yet? 

Who else is in need of some dirt road therapy? When Corey and I lived in Colorado, we would take the kids and the dogs and head towards the mountains to see the Aspen trees changing colors this time of year. With our coffees, and a good book we were reading packed in our bags, we would find a new dirt road and get lost looking for those twinkling golden leaves. We’d spend the afternoon surrounded by nature, with dirt on our boots and fresh air in our lungs. Whenever I think about needing a “reboot” I think about those trips to the Aspen trees and the smell of the dirt roads and the excitement of exploring somewhere new. 

I made this shirt to remind myself to get more dirt road therapy no matter where I am in my life, maybe it will help you too 🤎

These were painted on #blowneggs so we could keep them, but you could paint on hard boiled eggs too with non-toxic paint.

March 31, 2020 - It’s been 1 year since Rona was born! 

Rona was the first British White Park born on our farm and we were OVER THE MOON with this perfect little heifer. She’s still our favorite calf in our heifer pen.🖤

Rona was the inspiration behind the “Proverbs 12:10” design - the Bible verse that has long been my motivation. 

When times get confusing. When the day is long. 
When we need to make a tough call. 

It all boils down to doing what’s right by our animals. 🖤 

(Rona is out of our cow Rose, whose set to be out first cow to calve again this year!)
