Everyday Stuff

right now

Wow. Where have I been? It seems since I came back from my mini vacation, I have been on the go! Do this, do that ... catch up with laundry, gardening, baking, playing with the little guy, more laundry...and more laundry! It's always like this isn't it? Life. I remind myself daily to slow down, Watch. Listen. Breath. Lay in the grass and feel the warmth of summer around me.

Take a walk. Notice colors, textures, sounds. Just be.

This week, midst this craziness, I am making a small batch of Current Jelly. I have two beautiful bushes that produce plump, juicy currents. I use current jelly on my toast and English muffins and rolled into crepes. It is also great on chicken or pork. Take a few tablespoons and spread it on top the meat before baking and you will have an easy, elegant dish to serve with a fresh salad and maybe some corn-on-the-cob. Yum.

Have a great rest of the week and remember to breath.

the everyday things

One of the many things that I love about being a mom is reading with my little guy. He on my lap. Us in a cozy place. Reading "Tomtem"....again. He just loves this book. One of his Christmas book gifts.

One of the best things about spending time with Daddy is playing, building and tearing it all apart again. Everyday. Always.
