Anything streusel is a eye-catcher, right? Streusel is one of the best creations ever, such a fun way to dress up a recipe and give it some swirl!

I have been having a blast the past few days going through pictures from when my sister was here a few weeks ago! She came to Costa Rica to visit us for a week. We had such a fun time! It’s always so nice to have family time! So, I’ll share a few of our highlights with you!

Oh, and my sister, well she’s the best! Need a laugh? She’s got one for ya! She’s such a positive, energetic, and loving girl ever! Yeah, she’s pretty amazing!

This is her and I having dinner on the beach!
