Happy July, darling humans! I’m fresh off a four day weekend, rested ready to roll up my sleeves and take on the short week - j/k, wish I could have thrown my alarm out the window and just stayed curled up in bed reading horror novels. ANYHOO, yesterday I was happily hosted at a delightful Fourth of July BBQ, to which I brought two mascarpone ice box cakes (one strawberry cookie with a flag on the top, one mocha Oreo made with decaf coffee because elder millennial) that I made after sending donations to NARAL Pro-Choice America and the Human Rights Campaign - and you should too!

Good luck this week: drink some water, take a deep breath, and be kind to each other, won’t you?
Xoxo Amy
