Hello and happy Saturday to you!

I hope you had a great week and some fun things planned for yourself this weekend. Wishing all of the moms, grandmas, aunts, and mother figures a very Happy Mother's Day 🌸 And if this is a hard day for you due to any number of reasons, I am thinking of you and wishing you a peaceful weekend 🩷

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

Homemade Strawberry Shortcake – Is there anything more nostalgic than strawberry shortcake in the summertime? This classic dessert is made entirely from scratch-flaky homemade buttermilk biscuits layered with juicy strawberries and billowy whipped cream. Simple, fresh, and undeniably timeless, it's the ultimate way to celebrate strawberry season.

Most Popular Product Shares This Week:

1. Magicteam White Noise Sound Machine – Isabelle has this in her room, and I got a second one to bring with us on vacation; there are tons of noises to choose from, as well as auto shutoff settings (or you can leave it on indefinitely); she loves it in her room, and it was great to have on vacation for all of the kids!

2. Every Day with Babs - I got this cookbook when it came out last month and I ended up bookmarking nearly the entire book. The recipes are very inline with our family's tastes and I could see my kids enjoying nearly all of them! I made her homemade sheet pan crunch wraps last week and they were wonderful!

3. Key Lime Juice - This bottled key lime juice is perfect for homemade key lime pie when you can't get your hands on fresh key limes.

4. Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce - An ingredient that packs tons of flavor into the reader-favorite copycat Chipotle chicken recipe.

5. PrepWorks Cake and Cupcake Carrier - I love that you can transport a layer cake in this, but also put in inserts that allow you to use it for 24 cupcakes, as well.

6. DreamSky Alarm Clock – This is the clock all of our kids have in their rooms (and they brought them on vacation!); the time sets automatically, adjusts for DST, you can adjust the brightness, it shows the day, date, temperature, etc. and the alarm function is easy to set – Dominic figured it out himself and loves to set an alarm for himself on school mornings now.

7. Sunset at Lighthouse Bay Puzzle - The last puzzle that I finished, I loved all of the bright and contrasting colors!
