Getting crispy update: The small gathering was great and it gave us a chance to catch up with some amazing friends. I was able to snip a few peonies from our yard for our centerpiece and kept everything else pretty simple.

The blueberry crisp was mind-blowing. Martha sure knows what she is doing. I served it warmed up in red Le Creuset ramekins with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream on top. So blissful!

Tonight we headed out for a mini date night at the Valley Junction Farmers’ Market. While walking around we wandered into this awesome antique store, Hinge. I can’t believe I walked out of there with empty hands, but don’t worry, I’m already plotting my return visit.

I have the day off tomorrow and my to-do list is a mile long. On the docket: a morning workout, fresh pedicure, pick up a baby shower gift and put the finishing touches on my Father’s Day gift. If that wasn’t enough, I may even try to make a few returns and start designing my gender reveal invites. I’m sure to be busy until we meet up with friends for a little Iowa Cubs outing – fireworks included! I just hope the rain stays away…
