    I bet Sunday's weather got you in the mood for this post. I wore capris for our last day in the "Good Life" before heading back to the Show Me State.

    I had to pin several of those recipes – yum! I wonder what the Haymarket Farmer's Market will be like this year with all of the mess down there due to the new arena.

      Brooke!! How did you know?! Sunday was amazing. I can’t wait for the Haymarket to open. I just missed it when we moved here in October. Hopefully the arena mess won’t create too many issues. Happy travels…

    Spring cannot come fast enough! I'm so over winter this year. My favorite part about spring is being able to shop at the farmer's market and using those ingredients to make super simple, fresh recipes. Or just eating fruit straight out of the fridge!
