Goodness, I've certainly taken a break from just about everything in life lately. I started feeling poorly around the beginning of March, since we just moved to Virginia the husband and I hadn't gotten around to switching our Tricare from West to North so I was unable to see a doctor. I was in pain and discomfort for about 3 weeks before I finally got to see a doctor. All I needed were some antibiotics and I'm back to normal. However, I'm still finding it difficult to get into some sort of routine to balance housework, my businesses, my support page, and this blog. I want to do more in each aspect of my life but it's a lot to handle, I'm hoping I get the hang of it eventually but until then, I'll just wing it and look forward to June: my 30th birthday is coming up and as of June 22nd, my husband will have FINALLY spent a whole year at home! That's a huge deal, we haven't spent an entire year together since we started dating. It's always been interrupted by deployments, but with him being on Presidential support duty for a couple years I get the privilege of him coming home every night. In this life that's rare, and you quickly learn to be grateful for it.
I found out a few days ago that my husband likes pound cake. Which completely threw me for a loop, the guy eats like a picky 2 year old so I'm always surprised when he actually volunteers to say he likes something other than pizza or tacos. Being a good cook {apparently...according to him anyway} I've opened him up to many things he would have never tried before. And right after I found out he liked pound cake, I saw this beautiful recipe from
Sally's Baking Addiction and knew I had to try it. I love Nutella and I love pound cake, why wouldn't I try it? I don't have much baking experience, all I do is follow recipes and I'm happy if they turn out well.
**Note: my Nutella didn't really "swirl" but that's probably my own fault for not putting enough batter between Nutella layers. I do not care, the cake tastes delicious and turned out amazing! Thank you Sally!**
