Zesty Chicken & Broccoli Stir Fry

March 25, 2013

That lovely symphony of noises, which is found only in a kitchen filled with family, brings me such pleasure. The laughter ringing through the house as we cook dinner together makes the extra effort that went into preparing our meal after a long day worth every moment.

Sheared & Shorn

May 28, 2012

Long hair appeals to me. Whether it started when I met my surfer and fell for his long flowing locks, I couldn’t tell you. What I can tell y’all is that pigtails and braids have never been a part of my parenting experience. Maybe I let the boys grow long and shaggy to compensate for […]
