Taking a break from menus, makes, and must haves, I wanted to share a personal update.

Mr. Magpie + I are excited to announce we are expecting a baby in December!  

Given the morning (er… all day) sickness and a few scares, my blogging cadence has slowed down a bit.  I have been busy growing a human, you see!  Realistically, it probably foreshadows what is to come when our itty bitty Gentile arrives and our new life starts in December.  At 22 weeks and over half way through the pregnancy, we are a mix of over-the-moon and scared-to-death.  For now, we are enjoying the celebration of this miracle and convincing ourselves we are ready for what is to come.  Feeling better now, I will get back to your regular scheduled blog posts.  I hope you each have a great weekend + have something in your own lives to celebrate today, too!
