My oldest son has requested the same Chocolate Ras

My oldest son has requested the same Chocolate Raspberry cake on his birthday almost every year of his life, and this, his 20th birthday, is no exception.
🎂.
Although I am no pastry chef, and lack the patience required for supreme cake decorating, (and also clearly can't centre a cake on a platter! 😅) I still love to bake. I make Ruben's birthday cake myself, with fudgy chocolate cake layers (recipe from the @rebarmodernfood cookbook), sandwiched with my homemade raspberry jam, covered with whipped chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries.
❤️.
It's a labour of love for my dear boy @rubendominelli , who has grown from an adorable and talkative toddler, to a young man who is whip-smart, kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and a multi-talented musician. Swipe right to see some of my favourite photos of him, including several of him with his favourite instrument in hand. AND check my stories for the CUTEST toddler photo ever!
😍
The other parents always told me that it would go quickly; what they didn't tell me is what a joy it would be to watch your child blossom into adulthood, to become their friend as well as their parent, while still feeling every inch the mama bear.
🐻.
Happiest of birthdays, Ruben! I cannot believe you are twenty years old already, but I know what a privilege it has been to be your mom.

Earth Day snapshots from my spring garden. ❤️

Earth Day snapshots from my spring garden.
❤️ 🌏
The raspberry blossoms are juuust starting to bud, the peas and radishes have made an appearance, the chive blossoms are getting ready, strawberry blossoms are happening, and the forget-me-nots are in their element.
☀️🌿
Gardening has been a source of joy and moving meditation for me this whole last year. There is something about working this small patch of Earth, communing with the bees, watching things grow. . .
😍
I am not doing anything special to celebrate Earth Day; I try to live every day as a celebration of our beautiful planet and it's life-sustaining systems. But morning gardening feels like an Earth Day celebration all the same.
🌍🌎🌏
To our Mother Earth!
