the essence

My house smells so delicious right now!

I had a bunch of good friends & their kids over for lunch today, it was so much fun! I had only seen Val once in the last year & she was still pregnant at the time. She brought along her six-month-old & her sister Stephanie. Rach came with her daughter & sister, Leah, & Jen came with her two girls. It was so much fun having all of those kids in the house!

I made Allison's wonderful Tuscan Chicken & Beans along with one of my favorite salads. For dessert I made mini Boston Creme Pies &, of course, coffee. With all of those aromas my house still smells good!
