mix anything with potato

We had such an amazing weekend celebrating Easter and watching Conference! it was so nice to just relax for the weekend, especially since the next 4 weeks are going to be packed for us with end of the semester projects, finals, and fun trips! We had an amazing brunch, and finished the day off with a lovely easter dinner, complete with carrot cake cupcakes. Our hearts and bellies were definitely full...
