Just another introductory post....

Pin It
Hearts and Garden Brunch 
I used to think that when people spoke of 'living well' that it meant something complicated-something that sounded to be only a cliche'. I believe many people do live the cliche' and miss out on a lot of life by focusing on attaining an end result. Well, I know I did early on in my adult life. Maybe I was the only one?

Either I now have a better grasp on things now, or have just learned the art of appreciation (or maybe have finally lost my mind and don't know any better), but I am taking a huge delight in simple joys, like nature, the meal made for me by my husband (shown in photo), a homemade gift, the milestones the kids achieve (and, the stuff they say), pretty much thoughtful...ANYTHING!

 My posts here may be sporadic, random, and sometimes no more than ramblings. I'll be sharing some pictures and recipes of homemade food and household products, healthy ideas I either came up with or just learned, crafts and cultural intrigues, words that I think may be poetry (but probably read best in my own head), thoughts about the kids, education, and parenting. Though I am writing in this blog mostly for me, I am doing it along with my kids as they are launching theirs as well, as an effort to be better writers and enjoy the joy of journaling. (spell-check shows this as a misspelling... huh!) My thinking is that I should do my best to not be a hypocrite. Oh...and the URL in this blog is something I say a lot. I'm sure I'll say it a lot in this blog, too!

For those who want the recipe to this delightful brunch dish shown in the photo, stay tuned as the next post will be just that. Until then, I hope you use the visual stimulation as a muse for your own creation.
