I quickly put the older two in separate spheres to rest after I got the baby down for a nap, in hopes I would be able to write a little. But, it looks as though a little girl is awaking and I’m left with another toss that idea out the window. Mothering is soContinue reading “Calm before the Storm, er, before baby awakes”

Day 31: Closing on Peace
My friend Suzannah asked about writing for her series and she writing for mine. She is doing 31 days of practicing peace, which has been honest & down to earth. I am fortunate to close out her series and mine with thoughts on the value on Shalom in our everyday life. I’m taking aContinue reading “Day 31: Closing on Peace”
Day 30: Real Food & Health Magazine
I’ve mentioned before somewhere on here about the online magazine I contribute towards bi-quarterly. It’s Real Food & Health. The little magazine has blossomed and gaining traction. It’s available on the Nook & Kindle. I am fortunate to write pieces on hospitality; as well as, offer up a recipe. I highly recommend subscribing toContinue reading “Day 30: Real Food & Health Magazine”
Day 29: Tare the Scale: Story of Mercy & Cookies
Grace is truly scandalous and often I want there to be more justice. Woe is me little child, all too eager to dish out discipline and correction. Then, with a swat across my body, I’m undone. Pulling out the kitchen scale to bake. I place the mixing bowl atop and tare it. Zero, notContinue reading “Day 29: Tare the Scale: Story of Mercy & Cookies”
Day 28: feasting Books
Check em out! These are just a few. I also recommend A Meal with Jesus & The Spirit of Food
Day 27: breaking bread
Have we embraced the new millennium with eating out like the 70s & 80s of TV dinners? Have we fallen prey to bringing technology to the table, because it’s easier to disengage than engage? Have we allowed our tables to be disguised as landing spots of clutter never to see the face of community aroundContinue reading “Day 27: breaking bread”
Day 26: On Breastfeeding
Considering I spent many hours of my day nursing a little babe, it is only fitting to write about it in this month of food talk. Breastfeeding isn’t the most easy or even natural act a new mama might think, if tv is the only guide. Heck, not just tv, but books on it. Continue reading “Day 26: On Breastfeeding”
Day 25: Homemade Almond Milk PSL & Dessert
Yesterday in my day of productivity, I went to the gym, took V to school, put baby down for a nap and had a mug of homemade almond milk, homemade pumpkin puree (this was already made in the fridge), and homemade spice simple syrup by 10:30. I even made meatballs a top spaghetti squash forContinue reading “Day 25: Homemade Almond Milk PSL & Dessert”
Day 24: I Want To Hear From You
In an attempt to sit around the table and not simply hear myself, I want to hear from you. Yes, that means if you’ve been reading here for a while and have yet to introduce yourself…here’s your chance. I won’t think your weird for reading, so please don’t be bashful. If you came over forContinue reading “Day 24: I Want To Hear From You”
Day 23: autumn & dropping by spur of the moment
I am one of those people who don’t mind friends dropping by unannounced. In fact, I kind of prefer it over making plans. I get a giddy feeling that although quite spontaneous, there is an element of thoughtful engagement as to whom the person should visit. Today I called my friend Talia to see ifContinue reading “Day 23: autumn & dropping by spur of the moment”
