COME SAY HI

I love trees. I love the colour of them and the way they filter light. I love walking in a Forrest and seeing how they grow together and the small details to be found like moss and little saplings. I even like the smell found wandering through trees where it’s thick and fresh. There is some kind of reverence to be found in between their trunks, standing tall and firm, pointing straight up to heaven.
I can see it being a place where someone would find reverence and solitude. Where one would seek guidance and privacy to commune with God.
In the Forrest, all my senses feel in tune with the power of creation. Like I can feel that God had a hand in putting the beauty together.
I live on the prairies, where trees are revered and collected, so maybe the pull to the trees is part of that. But I think it’s more.
That small tree has the power within to become something big and strong. It will grow and develop despite the weather and storms. And in the end, it will stand pointing up to its creator, testifying of where it came from. I think I want to be like the tree.

One of the best things my parents did for me was develop in me the wonder of creativity. I strongly believe creativity is in every single person. It is a God given thing we already have.
People say they aren’t creative. I’ve heard so many times. But I think that comes down to two things.
1: A misconception that creativity only looks a certain way. Painting, photography, But creativity is found in all areas of life. Music, baking, organizing... ever heard an amazingly creative argument?! Creativity is easier to spot when it’s physical things you are creating but it’s certainly not limited to that.
2: As we grow up we either stop listening to our creative ideas or we don’t feed that skill. It’s a muscle you have to flex to keep healthy. And the more you help it, the more you help it to build.
Totally one of my passionate topics. I’m pumped to talk about it tonight with Jaime @sincerelysatisfied on a zoom call.
Come join us if you’re interested in talking about creating.
And tell me if you consider yourself creative or not!

Today’s salad experiment.
I’m working on my soups and salads section of my book. And so I’m putting together lots of different things.
My hubby says he thinks salads are made out of whatever you have around so it’s not a recipe kind of thing. You just wing it.
Which brings me to my list of questions.... what holds you back from making salads? The dressings?
Having the right ingredients?
Knowing how to put them together?
Do you want a recipe?
Or do you just wanna know combinations?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!

One of the good things that came out of covid and pandemic living for our family was our Monday night activity nights. It started because we needed something to look forward too. Something that was just random and fun. I’d heard of root beer testing so I pushed it further into burgers and fries. And it’s kept going from there.
Monday nights are our family fun night. We always did family home evenings but since the come follow me program started, we kinda let it fall by the wayside. Since covid, Monday nights are back as activity nights.
Some weeks we do taste testing and some weeks we play board games. But our kids rely on this little thing we’ve started as something in their lives now. We’ll see how it adapts when life becomes a little more normal, but I think it’s something we’ll carry on.
Next in our #familytastetesting we went with apples! I love seeing my kids get serious about their taste testing! Alden was totally into it. Eli was not at all. That’s ok. We all still had fun and we were together.
Next up? @mmschocolate I think! I’ll have to find a list of every kind and see if I can find them all!

The kids are back to in person school on Monday. And I am feeling super pumped about the whole idea. They need school, friends, teachers. All of it. I’m so glad. And let’s face it, I won’t be sad about some alone time.
More time to recipe test. I’m just finishing up my appetizer section with these Buffalo chicken bites. It looks like the fattest section is going to be the desserts. Im definitely team sweets but I’m definitely a fan of tasty savoury too.
Are you team savoury or team sweet?
