    As many of y’all know, I work from home. I spent most of my time home and we maybe eat out twice (if I am lucky) a week. This means that I am constantly in the kitchen making snacks and meals for everyone.

    Organic Smash cake with Strawberry + Beet Icing

    When I began planning Harper’s first birthday, one thing I knew for sure is that my friend Sarah needed to make her smash cake. Sarah is a fellow crunchy mama, a mom of all trades, she makes amazing cakes, creates the best DIY Projects (that she actually finishes), all the while working on her Masters at the University of South Carolina. Her two littles are my children’s friends and we try and spend as much time with them as we can. I told her my vision of Harper’s organic cake and she recreated my idea perfectly! I think the adults at Harper’s smash cake photoshoot enjoyed her cake more than…
