My sister is visiting us from Seattle — she arrived the day before Marlow was born, and she’s staying with us through Christmas. I can’t even begin to describe how happy this makes me! She is so much help with the kids and with the baby. I really don’t know how I will survive when she leaves.

Another bonus — she bakes! She recently made this delicious Pumpkin and Cranberry Bread for us and it is sooo yummy. It’s so perfect for this time of year. (The recipe makes two loaves — but we decided to make cupcakes for the kids because they’re easier for them to eat.) The recipe comes from Lena Corwin, as featured on Design*Sponge.
