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.
Now here's a blog post I never thought I'd be writing when I started Lemon Stripes Lemons & Loafers 13 years ago! But fast forward to today when I have a truck, car, bus, and excavator-loving little dude who hates to wear anything that doesn't have a truck on it, unless it's yellow, that is the only exception.
We drive up to my family's house in New Hampshire often for long weekends and my dad's wife, Jennifer (an amazing cook), almost always makes us this pasta dish, originally from the New York Times, on Friday nights. I'm re-sharing it here because it has become one of my all-time favorite meals and I can't let you go on for one more day without it!
One of my favorite weekends of the year is here! The unofficial start to my very favorite season. I am so excited for Luca to have his first summer as a non-baby. He loves the beach, mainly throwing rocks into the ocean for hours on end, and Amalia has turned into a little fish in the water.
