In Which I Make a Confession {PHFR}

~PRETTY~
Early morning light.
When my eyes popped open at 2:45 am and nothing I did helped me fall back asleep, I padded quietly downstairs and went about alighting the rooms with candles.  The cozy, flickering glow (and a pot of fresh coffee) set the stage for a two hour reading binge.  Ahhh.  I was actually ready to start the day when my boys awoke at 5 am.


~HAPPY~
Apparently it was the 100th day of school this week.  I had no idea but KC was so proud he wore his crown all afternoon.  He's definitely our "crown prince".



~FUNNY~
An unfortunate store sign.
Someone really needs to put "Fix Neon Storefront Sign" on the top of the to-do list.  :)



~REAL~
Ok, it's confession time.  I fell off the Gluten-Free bandwagon this week.  Hard.  As in: I made this cinnamon roll* for myself and devoured every morsel.  And I ate crusty french bread with butter, soup with pasta in it, and I may have had a chicken enchilada with flour tortillas, and well, you get the idea.  Time to clean up the act.  And I will.  Right after lunch...

*sidenote ~ try baking a Grands Cinnamon Roll in a jumbo muffin tin = adorable

  1. That cinnamon roll looks delicious! Worth falling off of the bandwagon for, I would say. And, that sign? Too funny. Has no employee noticed that?

    1. Apparently not - it has been that way for a month and I laugh every time I see it!

  3. Okay, that sign is not just funny, it is hilarious! Says the scrapbooker. =)

    And, I don't care so much that you ate flour tortillas, but that you ate them in enchiladas? I must protest... kindly. Enchiladas should, dare I say, must be made with corn tortillas. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but they are gluten-free too? Better all around for you I'd say. =)

  4. If you're ever craving the taste of cinnamon roll's again, Elana's Pantry has gluten-free cinnamon bun muffin which is pretty good (http://www.elanaspantry.com/cinnamon-bun-muffins/).

  7. Oh that sign...so so funny! And what a wonderful way to begin your day, even if it was at 2:45!

  8. Seems to me that you were proactive in the middle of the night, rather than just lying there! Sounds like it worked for you, although I hope you don't have to do that every night!

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven baskets, doesn't she?       Even the boys had fun playing in the sand while I took m

Savoring Summer {Staying in the Season}

The desk full of binders, calendars, sports schedules and dreamy ideas is where I currently find myself, while my mind continues to stray back to the mountains and clouds of our trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We have been home for a week and I decided in future, I must come home better mentally prepared for the onslaught of emails and to-do items that pile up when we go away for two whole weeks. The fact that school resumes one week from today only intensifies the pressure to get it all done right away. Usually at this point in August I am eager for cooler, less humid days hinting at the beauty of spicy Autumn flavors. Not this year. I am so invigorated by my return to normal movement following the long recovery from knee surgery that I don't want these summery days to end. At least not until they officially end on September 23, 2014. This year feels like a do-over, the last one so consumed by injury, pain and slow, slow, slow recovery. My mind is bursti

Petals :: 52 Photos Project

Where I live the Bradford Pears have bloomed and blown and the Cherry Blossoms are in full blossom.  Even though that means our allergy season is now officially underway, I cannot help opening our windows every morning in hopes of hearing the birds singing to greet the day.  Springtime has conveniently coincided with my personal recovery process from knee surgery.  As I am slowly re-gaining mobility on crutches it seems an added encouragement that the weather is also improving and the trees are welcoming my return with their flowers. What a treat it would be to be able to put down my crutches in time for Easter Sunday and walk again on my own! (I am doubtful but one can hope.) Sharing with 52 Photos Project :: Petals
