Hello, sweet friends…

This past week…

I packed away all things February…

and brought out the shenanigans…

Years ago feels like a lifetime…

I had a “seasonal” tree…

I remember enjoying it so much…

during the pandemic I started one again…

decorating our home allows me the opportunity to approach the ordinary and create something lovely. uplifting, meaningful and valued

in many ways it helps me adapt to things at different points along the way…

this process teaches me there are many ways we discover our own truth in life…

mine seems to blossom in the home.

What’s Cooking?

This dessert was recently made for Mardi Gras. It’s a favorite of Joe’s…and of course there are many versions of this epicurean delight…
