Think happy thoughts

I’ve been thinking a lot lately. The house is relatively quiet without my mom here to keep me busy with errands and cooking projects… and sure, I can do those on my own, but then I’ll eat all that yummy goodness! And we don’t need groceries, which takes out the Read more…

Summer Happenings

We begin at the beginning of my time at home…. sleeping in late, eating breakfast late, and staying around to help with kitchen adventures. (For concerned people, I am now back to getting dressed before noon. No worries.)  Peach Jam! These little cups are the ones I made.  Don’t they Read more…

All I need is love… and chocolate

I had an “appointment” today. It was extremely successful, actually! Which was surprising and exciting and happy all in one.
