Juggling work, family & faith in the Hospitality State
Especially when my mom comes to help! This past weekend, that’s just what she did, and my freezer is stocked with ready-to-cook meals, as well as heat-and-eat breakfasts, for the next few months when cooking might prove difficult. I tend to have a LOT of preterm contractions and have ended up on bedrest in [...]
In my previous post, I promised to explain a bit about why I’ve been so bad at blogging (and cooking) lately…so here goes. I’m pregnant, and that means: I’ve been doubly tired. I’ve been doubly nauseated. I’ve been doubly preoccupied with all things pregnancy. and if you haven’t guessed yet…. I’ve been doubly blessed. We’re [...]
So, the blog’s been pretty slow here lately because life has not been. You know. You’ve been there. Maybe your Thanksgiving plans weren’t thrown completely off course by a stomach virus and the mounds of laundry it created, but still, you understand.

With a lovely group of Mississippians, we took the last Inland Passage Cruise of the season from Vancouver to Seward, closed down the chalet in Denali National Park and rode the last train before winter from Denali to Fairbanks. A [...]
Photo Source So, finally, the weather is beginning to realize what month it is. I love October, can I just say that? So, here are a few of my favorite things (sing with me…raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens…okay, I’ll stop)… The fact we need jackets in the mornings and evenings. I love jackets! I [...]
Today has been a day of bad reactions. It all began this morning when I woke up late and itching.
