Sunflowers
We have some beautiful sunflowers in the backyard…decorating our back wall. Michael planted sunflowers last year, and these were the children of the flowers he planted last year. Except for the really really tall sunflower. It is nearly 2 stories tall! I can look out of my kitchen window and it greets me each morning. ...
A Day for Baking
We spent an entire day baking this week. I have been slacking in the kitchen since Henry arrived in January. I have made meals, and dishes for parties, but I have not spent time cooking for enjoyment lately. In fact, for a while I was feeling like cooking was a chore, when I used to...

Banana Bread Revisted
Max has been on a banana bread kick recently. He and Ella love the stuff, but lately he has been asking me CONSTANTLY to make some, and it’s easy to oblige him, as I usually have bananas rotting & waiting to move on to their next life in loaf form. And to make the job...
