Rain boots are amazing… until they’re not. I’ve only had rain boots for a handful of years but they’ve come in SO handy. If you don’t have a pair, I can’t recommend them enough, especially if you live in a rainy or wet climate. I happily use mine year round. And they definitely make splashing in puddles more fun. No one should outgrow that! But back to the ‘until they’re not’ part… I was out doing errands recently when suddenly something seemed weird. Sure enough, hours later, I discovered half of my sock was completely soaked. The worst possible way to discover your rain boot has a hole or crack. On the bright side… I’m back in business with a new pair that fit even better. Fingers crossed these have a longer life span.

I feel like certain things, only an adult would be excited about. For example… buying new appliances, getting new lawn equipment… general home items, basically. Add to the list: a membership to a wholesale store. I finally did it, but not for the groceries or other bulk items. Nope. I specifically did it for dog beds. They were half price in store compared to their website, so it kind of seemed like a no brainer. And while I was there, it made sense to stock up on butter and a few summer essentials. Those stores are seriously overwhelming though! I can see how someone could easily spend a few hours in those stores wandering the aisles. Do you have a membership to any of the big wholesale stores? What are your favorite items to stock up on… is it the butter, produce, something else? Any tips and tricks I should be aware of for making the most of the membership?

Oh and PS… one of our cats has apparently already claimed one of the giant dog beds. Little does she know, she’s going to have to share it in the very near future!

I’m completely obsessed with fruit curds. They’re the perfect addition to so many things… cake, cupcakes, toast, pastries, donuts and SO much more.

I whipped this up for a special dessert… coming soon! But until then, you’ll definitely want to slather this on everything and then lick the spoon. It’s ridiculously tasty. If you love lemon curd, you’ll absolutely love this lime version!

Just a few simple ingredients! Big bonus, this comes together in under 15 minutes!

You’ll want to keep a batch of this on hand at all times this spring and summer! Run to the kitchen and whip up a batch.
