chocolate dresses.

this week i've realized how much I love being settled in one place. i've also realized that I am ready to take flight. let's move the train on. i'm ready to, as Bob dylan put it best "the answer is blowin' in the wind" it's time.

as the weather get's warmer, and my bike and tom's become my only means of transportation, i feel like never stopping.
the answer is blowing in the wind, and I am ready to find it.

just a few short weeks until we take our school bus to Bonnaroo, not sure where we are headed after that, but we will be going! we'll be going to a few festivals, pond parties, and lot's of cracker barrels i'm sure. I am just ready to go, arise and shine little light!


on another note i stayed up really late last night perfecting a flourless, sweetened with raw honey, vegan chocolate cake! i am pleased so far. i also finished a dress that i started! made from an old bed sheet! i was also pleased with it.

a wonderful woman + dave bazan

Happy birthday to my mother!
She is such a beautiful person.
Yesterday we celebrated her 59th birthday!
She doesn't look a year over 40 right?
She has aged wonderfully! I hope I have those genes.

In honor of my mother, I made a [what turned out to be] fabulous Flourless Chocolate cake. With 73% dark chocolate [meaning dairy free] and sweetened with just a few tablespoons of agave [making it refined sugar free!]




The birthday celebration was just great! The whole family together, a light afternoon brunch and dinner to follow at a fun asian place, Wild Ginger!



[my new polka dot dress even made an appearance!]



On wednesday night Robert and I got superb, on the stage seating at the Dave Bazan Show in Nashville!
A few good pictures from the dark venue.








[went to show with some sweet friends, Julia and Jesse Kevon!]

thats all for now!
