blueberry buttermilk breakfast cake




If you like the combination of blueberries and lemons, you MUST make this cake.  Don't let the name fool you...I also served this for a dessert with vanilla ice cream and it. is. delicious!

A few notes:
- To make a 9x13 pan (I used a 9x13 glass Pyrex baking dish), double the recipe.  It fits in a 9x13 perfectly!
- Don't skip (or skimp on) the lemon zest!  You will never smell anything as good as creaming together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest.  Seriously.  Buy yourself a microplane and zest away!

Find this amazingly delicious recipe here!

5 things on Friday...

Several of the blogs that I read post 5 random things on Friday...I thought that was a great way to share the little things that I've been slacking about posting on all summer!

1. I found this fantastic chevron-trimmed wall calendar at Target, just in time to record all of this year's important dates!  This is going to be the jumping-off point for a little command center wall in our laundry room.


2.  After pinning kitchen ideas, I finally added some glass canisters for flour and sugar to my counters.  I added some sweet antique tea cups as scoops after seeing it on Pinterest.  I love the pop of green it adds to that side of our kitchen!


3. Ya'll, I have a confession to make.  I love Gain detergent and dryer sheets.  I have tried lots and lots of the cheaper store brand detergents, but nothing makes our laundry smell as good as Gain!


4. I painted Grayson's old high chair (that was actually a hand-me-down from my nephews) a few months ago, but needed some kind of cushion for Miss Mollie Kate's behind to sit on.  I finally got my act together this week and whipped up a little top and bottom cushion with some laminated fabric (from Hobby Lobby), a few layers of quilt batting, and some bias tape.


5. I cannot get over the cuteness of these little moccasins I bought for MK at the Old Navy outlet last weekend.  Are they not the cutest shoes you have ever seen?

back to school...

My baby boy started Kindergarten last Wednesday...and he LOVES it!  We are so thankful for a sweet teacher who loves her job.

Here are a few "back to school" pictures!





 A little heart to remind him throughout the day that his mommy and daddy love him!

where did the summer go?

Y'all...where on earth did the summer go?  In just one week, my baby big boy will start kindergarten. I can hardly believe that my tiny baby boy is old enough to be in KINDERGARTEN.  So, I am going to continue to soak up the last days of summer and enjoy every last second of my boy being at home all day.  I'll be back to all things bloggy soon.

Until then, here is a bit of what we've been up to via Instagram.
