Daisy’s Cashew Crunch
Do you recall this recipe from some months ago? I finally bought cashews and managed to save some from getting eaten long enough to make these! First a couple of things I learned: The cashews would be better in small pieces. Having them in halves made it a bit too...
Truth in Your Pocket
What words have you crafted to focus on to bring strength and meaning to this ordinary day?
Making It Beautiful
There are so many simple ways to add beauty to the things we do at home! And isn't beauty functional, as well as lovely because it feeds the soul? I had a luncheon for some friends last year and didn't want to spend money on decorations, so my daughter and I thought...
