Life at f/stops and a guest post…
Have you been to Monet’s blog, Anecdotes and Apple Cores? If you have not, you are missing out on a great baking talent! This girl can bake and write! I found her blog a little over a year ago. It became one of the blogs that I have to visit to get my weekly dose of her stories and baked goods. She broke her arm to save a carton of eggs (priorities!) by falling in the middle of the street the other day. She can not write and bake as much now with one arm. Well, one thing led to another and I am over there today, writing about my No Butter Apple Cake recipe as a guest blogger. If you have missed that recipe, please head over her blog. I am sure you will enjoy her great creations!
And I am back to f/stops with several pictures from our Boston trip! It was a much needed trip and a perfect one that combined dear friends, historical places, lovely city, seaside and great food… Can’t beat that!

I love Monet’s blog and her writing is beautiful. How wonderful of you to help her while she is recuperating:)
