I'm Awake

I know it's been awhile since my last blog post - but I'm awake, honest. Oddly enough the last post was about 'Stamina'. The recent month and a half that has been the word to live by.

It's been a very busy time, with many things going on.......... I will share and update this space in the next few days.

Thanks for being faithful readers.

Easter

This little Easter chick might have the right idea donning a winter toque. Our weather forecast for Easter Sunday is predicting possible wet snow - ugh.

I think the egg hunt may have to be moved inside.

Our traditions are adjusting with the changes of our growing family. For many years the holidays were quiet - my children and I alone. We built holiday traditions together that we now share with our new union. With the blossoming of our families together over the past seven years, the holidays have suddenly become celebrations of happy noise. 

Leading the happy noise and excitement is our granddaughter who is thrilled at the thought of the Easter Bunny arriving, but mature enough to question the meaning of Easter. But let's face it when you are just turning five, chocolate eggs and jelly beans get the most attention. 

Our granddaughter has recently discovered Egg Bread. Lightly sweet, soft, and incredibly delicious with butter - she's is devouring egg bread if it were a chocolate egg. It is the new after school snack.

I will be bouncing between the kitchen and the dining room as we celebrate Easter with family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Are you cooking this holiday? 

What is on the menu?

Inspiration

I have to admit that it is right about now every year that I start saying 

'enough of the cold and snow'. 

I find myself wandering to the local nursery for a hint of spring, and bringing home fresh bright coloured flowers from the store.

This - all the while I am wandering in my winter boots and parka.

In the not too distant future these pretty pink blooms will be more than just an image.

 

For now - enjoy their beauty.
