Adopting my kitties was one of the best things I’ve ever done. They added so much joy to our family and we couldn’t imagine life without them. Most parents feel the same way about their cats and want what’s best for them. But many well-meaning cat owners just aren’t sure how often their cat actually needs to visit a vet. I didn’t even know the answer to that but after adopting a few cats and some with special needs, I quickly found out.

Summer sure does look different this year, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy all our favorite things right in our own backyard. This year saw us upgrading our grill to a fancy new one for all those nights cooking out.  Planting a garden for fresh produce right outside our door and most of all creating  memories in our own backyard in lieu of traveling around. And it’s been F-U-N. Especially when a box of goodies from BabbleBoxx shows up! Let’s see what’s inside!

One of the first things I planted in my garden this year was plenty of fresh basil. Cilantro and basil top the list for me when it comes to fresh herbs and my garden is full of these plants. With so much basil just begging to be used in some yummy recipes, I knew one of the first things I was going to make was  homemade nut free pesto. There’s nothing wrong with traditional pesto made with pine nuts and it’s one of my favorite things, like ever. But my son has a nut allergy so traditional pesto is a no-no.
