My Mother’s Day was perfect for many, small reasons. 1. Breakfast in bed. This has been a tradition in our house since Joe was old enough to help in the kitchen. Joe delivered an egg, over easy, on toast, a big bowl of fresh strawberries and a glass of cranberry juice – all while I happily […] Read more…
A Little Bit About My Monday.
Happy Monday, all! It was a gray, dreary, windy, cold and rainy spring day here – barely surpassing 40 degrees, not that I noticed or anything.
