Late nights, early mornings, donuts, happy kiddo giggles, mama’s homecooking, pool parties, coffee, pedicures…I mean it was just plain wonderful. And now…school begins! What a way to head into a new year, hearts full as all get out.
This salad has been happening since my husband and I were dating. It very well could be the reason he asked me to marry him. And if it is, I am totally okay with that. I will keep feeding him this for better or worse, as long as we both shall live. Of course, as long as he shares with me.
