Motherhood would be cool if it was all picnics and zoo trips and choosing the cutest, hugest bows for fuzzy heads. There’s a lot of that and I love it. Even better, motherhood is kind of like having your own little circle of disciples in your home. I love that and I’m learning how to […]
A place called home… via …where we wake and rise to greet the day, filled with promise. Two by two little ones’ eyes flutter open. They’re invited to dress, to eat, to begin – the youngest asking eagerly, “What are we doing today, Mommy?” A day in the home brings a dynamic blend of the […]

thirteen on thursday…hows that for a hippity series title? only there are no series promises here. just scouring my over tired brain for a title…;-) well anyway, here we go!! 1) caramelitas. every bit as incredible as the word itself. ‘caramelitas!’ you know you love it. a friend posted this recipe on twitter or something the other […]
