14-Karat Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted on May 7, 2019December 13, 2020 by Laura Barajas

Homemade Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

Posted on March 15, 2019March 9, 2020 by Laura Barajas

Here’s a recap of 2018 in photos, starting out with a collage of images from our first trip to LA this year. We were so excited to leave for this trip, we ended up driving down way too early and had to crash at a hotel near LAX that has “day use” rates on some…
