It’s Mother’s Day in America and as is the tradition, I brought flowers. I’m blessed to know many incredible mothers (I’ll bet you do too), and every day they inspire me in so many ways. Though I’m not yet a mother to my own offspring, I learn every day from each strong, beautiful woman in … Continue reading »
I’ve been a little behind this week. (Oh well, sometimes that happens!) And I’ve been playing a lot of catch-up. It was really just an odd week. And now our Kiddos are visiting, so while I could have taken the time to put this together and post it last night, I chose instead to spend … Continue reading »

In Monday’s post (Seattle Center Lights: All Dressed-Up) I mentioned that we took the Kiddos to ice skate at The Seattle Center’s WinterFest Rink last week before they headed back to Oregon.

This evening Husband, Mama and I went in search of a little holiday cheer. (We needed it, believe me.) We found some at the Woodland Park Zoo here in Seattle.

(Is it sacrilege to serve German sausage on Memorial Day? I hope not.) While summer doesn’t officially show itself in the Pacific Northwest until the first week of July 4th (yes Husband, I finally have enough empirical evidence to agree with you on this one), I think of Memorial Day weekend as my official permission to start cooking summer-like meals. … Continue reading »
I miss Mama on Mother’s Day. It’s one of those sacrifices you have to make when you want to pick up and leave everything you know for something new and different. Important people get left. But we’re close. We talk. … a lot. Mama & Me – My Favorite Photo of Us It wasn’t always … Continue reading »
Last Easter, we were in Southern California, visiting my family for the first time as a couple. And as I sit here contemplating a nice, quiet, relaxed Easter weekend, I’m reminded of sunny L.A. and our wonderful visit. So, for this Photo Friday I thought I’d post a picture from last Easter, just about a year ago … Continue reading »

This year I decided to try my hand at corned beef and cabbage; something I’ve never made before. Seemed simple enough … and it was! Continue reading »
