What's been happening?

....have been so very busy with the new routine. 

....started a new job.

....had so much chores to catch up on.

....husband and I had to settle into the new routine with our little Cooper, our almost 1 year old beagle puppy in mid-March.

so...because of that, I have been so caught up with life, that I had to take a break from Passionatemae. 

It was tough to bake every week so that I could come up with a new recipe each week, time I did not have.

I am getting there...bear with me.

If you follow me on Instagram, I do try to keep that more active during this busy times. Follow me if you like.

psssst....I do have a present for you this Wednesday! It's a new recipe! Don't forget to check it out this Wednesday! :)

Happy Monday, I hope that you'll have a great week ahead!

This was made for an order.

HEY!

I can't believe that my puppy; Cooper is 19 weeks old already! I remember the time when we first brought him home. He was unwell, but he recovered really quickly! Cooper is a pure bred beagle, if you don't know. He is smart, cheeky, playful, naughty and such a darling! He loves SOCKS!
