This Strawberry Shortcake Trifle recipe has moist vanilla cake, fresh strawberry sauce, and fresh whipped cream. This recipe is perfect for fresh summer strawberries. This Triple Berry Trifle is a must-have for trifle lovers! This strawberry dessert recipe is a must-try for all strawberry lovers. The boys are now at 6 months, the most exciting age. Although every stage is possible, this one seems to be the most enjoyable. They are curious and sweet, and they smile and laugh like crazy. Although they are a bit shaky, they sit so well on their feet. They are still very snuggly, and I will take them everywhere. Ashton mimicked my kisses and gave me a big, open-mouthed kiss the other day. It was so cute! We have been taking them to the pool and out and about, as they are now more mobile and walking for long, nice walks. We will even take them to the beach next month. I can't wait to see them in the sand, ocean and for the first time! Although I am looking forward to cooler weather, it will be a bittersweet time to leave the warmth of the outdoors. We will enjoy the last summer we have.
This is why I love this trifle.
