Are snuggling little boys who seem to be growing just so fast

Doing lots and lots of quick meatless meals (summer meals are better when you can make them simple)

Taking time away from lessons to do some crafting, run amuck outside and just breath in the summer air

Farm sitting for friends who had not had a vacation in a few years due to no one to leave in charge of their farm.  Boy, is it good to be on a farm again!  Baby goats nibbling the bottom of your skirt, chickens running about everywhere with their trusty guardians nearby, the hay and feed.  Oh dear, I am missing my farm.

Had a few painting afternoons with the girls.  So much fun to be had with paint and a blank canvas.  Just paint away

Picking strawberries every morning in our patch and starting to bring in the raspberry harvest (our very first ever)

Celebrating birthdays and eating Eddie’s signature birthday cake (each of my kids have one, did you know that?) strawberry shortcake.  Definitely one the easier cakes I make for them.

Finally feeling back in the swing of things, regularly making yogurt and kefir again.  Trying to add breadbaking to our rhythm more often than just a few times a month.  Slowly but surely!

So what have you been up to?

This moment

Today I am joining Amanda at SouleMama for “this moment”
A Friday ritual.  A single photo – no words- capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment.  A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
