Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 4/11/15

First of all, thank you so much for all of the well-wishes that I’ve gotten regarding my mom. They are very much appreciated!

So I don’t know if it’s the warmer sunnier weather (no doubt), my mom’s seemingly good recovery (most definitely) or the free latte I got at Starbucks yesterday (didn’t hurt), but things really seem to be looking up. It’s amazing how a a few positive things can have such an impact on your overall spirits. I feel like there is a real turnaround happening and I’m slowly but surely starting to take a step back into life a bit. I’m packing in plans with friends (even trying to make new ones, yikes), motivated to work in the kitchen (it’s been a while) and taking advantage of every minute of sunshine that comes my way. On top of that, L’s starting swim classes this week. Why I signed up for something that requires me to put on a bathing suit AND a swim cap is somewhat baffling, but hopefully it will just be fun. At least I know it will be nice to be reunited with some of the girls I did prenatal yoga with since they’re babies are in the same class.

What else? I’m probably due for a New Mom post because it’s been a while. Some topics I’m thinking about are baby food, post-baby body and life with baby in general. Thoughts?

Now for this week’s updates
