Its summer!!!
Ha ha, just kidding. But the weather here in Alaska sure has us feeling like it is. The ice is gone, and it has not snowed in weeks. My son even wore his sandals today because the 45-degree weather "wasn't cold".
We are really enjoying all the cozy comforting meals while we watch the snow melt away and winds whip around.
I am also now the proud mother of a three-year-old and an eight-month-old. How they have grown up so fast, I have no idea.
Household Hobbies
Do you ever get some down time but don't know what to fill it with? Because that is my problem. I want to read, learn to knit, clean the house (not that it's a hobby...), watercolor, and now, add pottery to that list. A dear friend of mine from church said she goes to a studio every weekend and makes her own little mugs and such. She taught me this past weekend and now I cannot stop dreaming about all the little cups and dishes I want to create.
She did say she wants to sell some of the georgous pieces she throws. So, if anyone is interested in handmade pottery from Alaska, let me know! I'll pass along her info!
hELPFUL THINGS FOR THE WEEK!
BAGELS!!!
If you have been looking for a sourdough bagel recipe, look no further! These are so chewy, flavorful, and fun. They are so easy to put together and even freeze well!

Orange decor
These orange slices hang in our window long after Christmas is over. They are so simple, cost effective, and beautiful. Create some lovely natural decor for your home while you wait for the beauty of spring.

Chicken bone broth
Since the weather does not know what it is doing, and there are beaches with snow across America, you might just need a mug of broth to warm you up. Nourishing, hydrating, and cozy as ever.
