If you could build a dream board for your life right now, what would it look like? Seriously, sit back and consider it. Mine would be a combination of Airstream campers, spacious views, travel backpacks, and a truck that somehow hauled Handsome, the dogs, and my bikes.
As much as I'm looking forward to fall and it's cool crisp weather, I'm still grasping at summer just a bit. Apple Pomegranate Spritzers were the perfect way to toast the end of summer and a new baby, for my friend Jen! Almost 25 years ago we welcomed our first baby into our family, a beautiful little girl.

I've made all kinds of pancakes through the years. Caramel Cake Pancakes, Cake Batter pancakes, Double-Stuffed Oreo, Banana Pudding Pancakes, and Pumpkin Pancakes are some of my favorites.
