March 19, 2013

It’s been a long week here and I am thankful for a snow day off from school. The view outside my window right now is oddly comforting and beautiful to look at. Oh winter, you’re not finished with us just yet. Before I bring in some wood to start a fire and settle into the [...]

With the rain and cold chill once again in the air I decided to make yet another version of homemade tomato soup.

What are you up to this weekend? Me? I have an official list of things to do. I’m not one to make a to do list for weekends, but there are enough items needing to get done that I had to write it all down! Fun stuff, not anything that will feel like hard work. I [...]

Minduful Monday ~ Quiet Time

February 18, 2013

mindfulness ~ the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something For a while now, I’ve noticed a trend in discussions around the value of quiet.
