Planting Time | New Playard | Out-of-this-world Carrot Cake

With the beautiful warm weather ahead of us, we decided it was time to get a start on the garden. On Sunday, we tilled up our tiny backyard garden and planted onions, lettuce, kale, and green onions. I found this handy chart for planting on almanac.com. Maybe it will keep us on track this year and make this garden thing real.

We also invested in a little outdoor playard for Miss Annalee. Somewhere to keep her on the porch, but let her crawl around and enjoy the pretty weather as well. We liked that it folds up flat, it's steady {a must for our little climber}, movable and the color doesn't scream toddler either.

So far - she loves it! 

Come on spring.... I'm so ready for a full week with no gloves, jackets or scarves. It's also the hubs bday tomorrow. We started the celebration early on Saturday, with a few friends over for a cookout. I made this totally out-of-this-world carrot cake and it was a hit!

I may have had a slice for breakfast on Sunday as well... shh! don't tell. Sunday's don't count during the lent, do they?

But really - you should make it. It's worth every calorie.

And last but certainly not least, I picked up these shades for Miss A at Old Navy, and she totally rocks them. She wore them for almost 2 hours on Sunday. Precious.

We enjoyed a little time at the park on Sunday. Annalee loves the swing and slide.

Happy Monday friends!  Cheers to a great {warm} week and daylight savings on the horizon.
