About Me

My Photo
I'm a hand-holding, swing-pushing, story-telling Mama with a creative streak and a nurturing spirit. I like growing food and flowers (and people, hehe), sewing clothes and quilts, cooking and eating and running, a long, tight hug and the color yellow. I love date nights at home, spontaneous trips to the bookstore and hearing my babies laugh. I am indecisive, exaggerrative and I overuse parentheses. I am reflective and sentimental and quick to laugh. I think I still picture myself as a 22-year old, yet every year my life gets more fulfilling. I am still figuring out exactly who I am. :)

My Destiny Revealed in Sandwiches

There I stood, sandwiches for five people spread out on the counter, waiting to be made.

Grilled cheese for some, peanut butter and jelly for the one allergic to cheese, and turkey avocado for the one allergic to cheese and peanut butter.

And I smiled to myself as I realized: this is my dream come true.

Not the allergies, mind you, but the real meaning behind those five sandwiches.

A family of my own to care for, nurture and love.

I've known all my life, that no matter whether I pursued a paying career or not, this was my calling.

Whether I pursue a paying career in the future remains to be seen, but the maker of our home I will always be. :)
