      My friend Naomi and her husband came over a few weeks ago and brought a delicious chocolate cake. We walked up the road to pick cherries and sat on our back porch eating the cake with fresh cherries and tall glasses of milk. She told me that she thought the recipe was her grandma’s secret recipe when she was younger. She called her when she wanted to make it and her grandma told her to go to Hershey’s Web site and the recipe was there. Very funny! It is delicious and perfectly moist, and you will love it!





     When frosting a cake, let it cool completely then frost it with a thin layer of frosting. Put it in the freezer for 30 minutes, then take it out and finish frosting it. This is a called a crumb layer and will allow you to easily frost without pulling crumbs into the frosting.

You guys know I’ve been on a MAJOR health journe You guys know I’ve been on a MAJOR health journey this last year healing from Epstein-Barr virus with whole foods and supplements and I always love when I find a brand that actually cares about their people by creating products with high-quality ingredients instead of junk!

You also probably know I have a sweet tooth so...

@jojos is some of my very favorite chocolate and they’re now in 1300 Walmart locations across the US! All of their chocolate is gluten-free, lactose-free, soy-free, and non-GMO.

“Mix a little foolishness with your serious plan “Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.” - Horace

For me, one of the best things in the world about being a mom is that they help me to remember the things I once knew, but forgot. Being fully present and accepting what is in the moment, being silly, getting SO EXCITED, and seeing the world with magic.

We all knew these things once. We just forgot a little. 💗💙 #parcellsundayselfie 4/11/21
