A New Life
It’s hard to believe that a week ago today, I was writing a post about pears and panna cotta and only four hours later, our little Miren Lili came into our lives. Excuse me if I sound overly romantic, but it truly was a miracle. She was born at home with the help of my friend and midwife Alanna who has been the best midwife I could have ever asked for. It was a peaceful and healthy birth.
We are quickly adjusting to having our little bundle. Having my parents here to help has been priceless. My mom is an amazing cook and has been spoiling us with healthy homemade meals. But as you might imagine, I haven’t been baking much this week. I will soon as I am recovering quickly.
Thank you very much for all your emails and wishes and have a great Thanksgiving!
She’s lovely! And nice to see your super photographs translate well with baby in the frame as well as food! Glad you are all well and healthy.
congratulations! she is gorgeous!!
That is so sweet. I love the pictures. Really beautiful baby girl. I love her name. Lili is my daughter’s first name – spelled the same way too.
Congratulations!
SO gorgeous aran – congrats to you and your beautiful family! xoox

Gabonak bereziak izanen dira….bidali email bat zure helbideakin, zeozer merezi dezu eta.

Karine- yes, you can grind your own hazelnuts. Add some of the sugar from the recipe to them so they have an abrasive and they don’t turn into a paste. Just watch it while you are grinding them.
Room studio design- I didn’t know you were expecting. Congrats to you! Hope you are well!
Thanks everyone. I hope you try the recipe and let me know!
Congratulations! They are both adorable!
