I think Freddie and Frankie approve of their treat.
My work productivity is clearly taking a dip this morning.
Peach πŸ‘ raspberry and blueberry 🫐 crumble - made under the watchful eye of Frankie.
One! Two! Three! FOUR!!!
Freddie is slowly coming out of her shell. For now she’ll continue to get full reign of the master bedroom until she’s more comfortable.
Introducing Freddie! Freddie is just over a year old and looks like she could be Frankie's sister. The first 5 pics are of Freddie as she gets used to her new home, the last photo is of Frankie chilling out on the stairs.
Peanut butter banana bread :)
Today’s snack time is brought to you by this homemade peanut butter Bundt cake. #Yum
I had to say goodbye to Beans today - thanks to the coronavirus.
Beans is behind bars for a bit while he visits the vet for a checkup.
A little spring to brighten up the condo.
12 weeks of kitty shenanigans. #FrankAndBeans
Yum. This is my first brown sugar cake 🍰, but it won’t be my last.
Mmmm, coffee coffee cake.
Beans likes to snuggle up and purr aggressively next to me while I'm working (especially when I'm working from bed). #TimelineCleanser #CatsOfInstagram
Does anyone have any butter?
A moment of calm between zoomies. #catsofinstagram
Six weeks with these goofballs. #FrankAndBeans #CatsOfInstagram
Frankie, standing guard as the dishwasher does its job.
In honour of #PiDay, I've whipped up a blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry pie. YUM!
