Baby's first herb garden

Fiona, my mom and I planted herbs on Mother's Day, German thyme, basil and rosemary. She loved that we let her help us plant them. She was interested in feeling each one and loved being able to touch the dirt. I think the dirt was her favorite part. It reminds me of the things I loved growing up and time spent with my mom in our garden. I remember pulling weeds with her, which was considered a chore but I loved it because of the dirt. I'm thankful for the fact that I have memories like that to begin with. I wish I never took them for granted during my teenage years, but I was a real idiot. I want to give Fiona as many memories like this as I possibly can, Chicago apartments with yards will be a top priority.

By far the most beautiful dough I've ever made. His directions were spot on, easy to follow and just inspiring to read. It is the only recipe I will use for pasta dough from now on!
