Tea, Cake, and a Good Book

August 22, 2014

Recently, I read “The Thirteenth Tale” by Diane Setterfield. The best description I can give is that it is a book for book lovers. Perhaps not the most descriptive, but the simplest surmise possible. There is no doubt Setterfield is a book lover, and her main character is a reclusive reader who lives and works … More Tea, Cake, and a Good Book

A Very Lazy Productive Day

January 24, 2014

Today is one of those days that I got to sleep in thanks to poor weather. Apparently, Texans are horrible at handling slippery streets, but I am not complaining since my classes were cancelled and I could cuddle up all morning. I even tried making M a happy face in his latte today… it turned … More A Very Lazy Productive Day

Raw Vegan Pecan Pie for Everyone

December 16, 2013

More and more people are going down different paths of healthy living these days, and even people like me (who can’t seem to give up cheese) are finding themselves eating healthier. Well, I’m making strides. I’ve eaten a few vegan/vegetarian recipes that furthered my concept of boring health food. Essentially I’ve had a lot of … More Raw Vegan Pecan Pie for Everyone

It’s that time…. Pumpkin is here

November 18, 2013

I have to be honest– I’ve never really liked pumpkin… or pumpkin spice anything. I love carving pumpkins and the smell of pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin pies, but the taste has never been all that appealing to me. So, when I found out M’s favorite pie was pumpkin pie, I knew I would have … More It’s that time…. Pumpkin is here

Tried and True Pinterest Cooking/Baking Gems

July 29, 2013

I remember last year, sitting on the couch with M while trying to rack our brains about what we were going to eat for dinner. Such a mountainous question. One that has puzzled many a hungry person for ages. Or, perhaps, it is just a family thing. We NEVER can decide on where to eat … More Tried and True Pinterest Cooking/Baking Gems

“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.” ~Thoreau⠀ ⠀ Thanks so much for capturing this moment in our little home, Ali. If anyone needs an AMAZING photographer, check out @feathermusephotos. She captures beautiful moments that you’ll want to hold onto forever. 💕
Yesterday was a dreary winter day, and I’m so ready for fields of flowers. Spring always gives a sense of renewal, of beginning again...⠀ ⠀ (I’ve been inspired by this feeling lately and wrote about it on the blog. Maybe you’ll find some ✨ in it, too. Link in bio.)
That blissful feeling when sitting down with a new book from one of your favorite authors. ❤️ Kate Morton - and her latest novel is just as wonderful as I knew it would be. ✨ ⠀ ⠀ “Sentimentality was mawkish and cloying, where nostalgia was acute and aching. It described yearning of the most profound kind: an awareness that time’s passage could not be stopped and there was no going back to reclaim a moment or a person or to do things differently.” - The Clockmaker’s Daughter
Saturday morning still life. 🥞☕️⠀ And the impossible to answer question: pancakes or waffles? 🤔
Wednesday word inspiration. ✨
My habit has always been to tread softly. In nature, not wanting to disturb the deer sleeping beyond our fence or make the fox feel unwelcome. In words, because I’ve always known their power. And I’ve finally learned that living quietly isn’t a character flaw, but a strength of its own. ⠀ ⠀ So in case you’re wondering why my handle changed, it’s just a new expression of what I hope to create here. Nothing fancy or even particularly momentous, just a way for me to center myself in this online space and remember why I’m here.⠀ ⠀ {And if you’re curious to know more - blog link in bio}
