Mama Bear

For the past two days, I’ve been walking around like a mama bear whose lost a cub.  I have been thinking about my oldest child whom we took to his first sleep away Sunday afternoon.  He was ecstatic!  The smell of the redwoods as the 3 of us approached the field for the first time […]

anniversaries

Today is our 10th wedding anniversary. we were married on a beautiful day in the Sierra Nevada.

Berry Pickin’

One of my all time favorite desserts is a fruit crisp. They are super simple to make, showcase all the best fruit of a season, and are so yummy! That’s why last week when the kids and I decided to go berry picking at our local U-pick farm, I knew there would be a crisp […]
