My good friend Lisa from Wine and Glue is having a baby! A baby girl to be exact. This is her third little bundle of happiness. I am absolutely elated for her and her family. Babies are so sweet. I miss babies. There is nothing like that baby smell, that soft, smooth skin, those coos and gurgles. Sure there’s the sleepless nights and the spit up and non stop feeding, but it’s all worth it.
I love being a mom. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. When I look into the big brown eyes that belong to my kids, I melt. Motherhood is hands down the most difficult yet fulfilling job ever. Unlike most jobs in the work force, motherhood comes without training, without set hours (you are on duty 24 hours a day), without vacation days and without a salary. If it were an actual job, no one would apply.
While I don’t bring in a paycheck, each day I’m payed with hugs, kisses and “I love you’s”. That’s reward enough. I am blessed and honored to be called mom.
I know Lisa’s world is about to change. Going from two little ones to three is not without challenges. But I know she can handle it. She’s strong and has a good sense of humor (very important for motherhood). Beyond that she has family and all of us to support her and encourage her! Congratulations Lisa!!!! Cannot wait to meet the newest member of your family!
We all know that baby showers involve food! Lots and lots of fun finger foods and of course, DESSERTS! Be sure to check out what my fellow bloggers are bringing to the party! You know it’s going to be good!
I decided to make a simple dessert. I used store bought puff pastry dough which I topped with a combination of mascarpone and goat cheese. The mascarpone is very creamy and mild which paired well with the tangy goat cheese. I then sprinkled fresh blueberries with a bit of sugar and oven roasted them in the oven. The roasted blueberries are intesenly sweet and delicious! They become thick and syrupy. The warm blueberry topping slightly melted the cheese. Each bite is a beautiful combination of sweet and tangy. The creamy cheese and the softened blueberries made this dessert unbelievable!
I cannot believe I’ve gone this long without roasting berries! Desserts will never be the same!
