Inspired by SouleMama – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see....
Each Christmas I get together with the ladies in my family and we spend an entire day baking sweet treats to share with friends and family. It’s always a special day, filled with laughter, flour, reminiscing, icing and love. This year we made buckeyes, oatmeal chocolate chip cranberry cookies (thank you Anna!), peppermint bark, oreo...

It’s fun to collaborate with them on this creative endeavor. This year the kids decided they wanted to decorate ornaments to put on our...
