Well we certainly had an eventful week. Amalia came down with a fever on Monday night that lasted until last night. The poor thing was so sick and lethargic and shivery and it broke my heart. When she is sick it brings me back to the days when she was a baby/toddler and her getting sick would send me into a spiral into awful anxiety. I’m so glad I can be the mama she needs me to be when she’s sick now. We had a lot of cuddles and built many a Lego set.
Yesterday was the first of two cookbook recipe shoots this week and it went great. We somehow pounded out 13 recipes in a day which is kind of unheard of according to my editor. Food shoots bring me so much joy and every time we have one I feel like pinching myself.
Blog content was light this week given the holiday on Monday, Amalia being home sick, and the shoot, but next week I should be back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Have a great weekend!
