Good morning sweet ladies, how was your weekend?
Mine was wonderful, quiet, but too short. Though, I am quite happy today is a holiday, and I have my whole family home with me. Curt is going to take Jasmine driving today to get her the practice she needs, but other than that, nothing else planned, especially since we have thunderstorms incoming later today.
I hope you all have a blessed week ahead, thank you for always coming by, joining in with this feature, and leaving such sweet comments. I appreciate you all very much.

♥♥ How I am feeling ♥♥
I have been sleeping amazingly well, since using Alexa for the sleep sounds at night. It's unbelievable just how well they help me sleep.

Just a cup of coffee so far, in about an hour or so I'll have some toast and an egg.

♥♥ From the camera ♥♥
I'm sharing this photo below to show you, that even I have cakes that sometimes stick to the pan. It doesn't happen very often, and I'm not even sure why some choose to do this, but it happens. As long as it doesn't affect the taste, that's all that matters.
This is a condensed milk cake, that I made yesterday afternoon.
♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
The back patio door is open and the only sounds coming in are birds chirping loudly. I love it, it's one of my favorite things about living in the country.
Elliott is currently laying across the back of the couch, enjoying the sun rays coming in. Aside from the sound of my keyboard keys, and the birds outside, the house is silent, as everyone is enjoying sleeping in on their day off.
♥♥ To do list ♥♥
* Vacuum living room and dust
*
Pay bills
* Tidy house
* Start new book
* Take pictures for next blog post

I've been using Alexa for almost 2 years now! I listen to thunderstorms. Quickest way for me to fall asleep! Going over to check out the food blog, I haven't visited in a long time!
Blessings to you this Monday and every day from the Kansas prairie. Glad you are sleeping better! That's wonderful.
Hello my Lovely!
I dream on a 78 degree day. I hope you're enjoying extra for me! Lol ☀️ You should see the blizzard I'm currently dealing with. ugh!
I used to have a sleep app and it really did help. My sleep has been better so I didn't use it anymore and got rid of it. But I think sounds like that are amazing to help. My favorite was the sound of rain, wind with windchimes.
I think you need to make a cookbook of all of your amazing desserts. Well, really all of your recipes! Lol 😉
Have a blessed week ahead. xoxo
I too love the sounds of the birds chirping. The silent house is sometimes most therapeutic and gives peace.
Sounds like you are getting the same back and forth weather that we have around here. That cake looks absolutely delicious. Hope you have a wonderful week!
I was able to set outside for a bit yesterday and it was so nice. I am so tired of being in the house and although the temperatures were nice today, it has rained all day. I had to start the woodstove as the house was feeling damp and cold.
I can't believe I'm aching for Spring weather to get here in Ky, the up and down temps are getting to me. Please share the cake recipe, it looks delish!
Oh my that condensed milk cake looks sooooo yummy! Weather has been all over the place here too. We just finished a winter storm and are now just bitter cold, expecting 18 degrees tonight. I just know you're going to love the Sugar Camp book. Have a wonderful rest of the week.
that cake makes me want to make one. Enjoy your week
