A little of this..

We had a little of this, and that to celebrate: 

Eight years! Eight years, since he joined our family & made me a mother. Eight years, since I first held his little hand and kissed each of those fingers. Eight years, since I realized my life would never be the same again, and it was the greatest feeling I'd ever had!

I love his determination. The way he always has to do things just a little {sometimes a lot} different than everyone else. I love his passion. I love his quest for knowledge. I love... him!

Happy Birthday Kid! Your amazing!

Homemade Bread

We've been trying out lots of new recipes and cook books this winter. This is one of my current new favorites. It actually is SO easy if you follow the directions from this book. Maybe they are common knowledge kinda stuff for some, but having never made homemade bread before owning this book, it's been wonderful for me!

Other things we've been making together this week have included potato & black bean soup, peanut butter granola treats, banana bread and some yummy pizza's made with the dough above.

What are you cooking up this winter?
