From the KITCHEN.......................................

Hello Friends!!

When I first started this blog I originally intended it to be more than just a crafting site. In my effort to steer it back in the right direction I want to share some ideas from other blogs that look darling and sound delicious. Besides, what is in most homes, "The Heart?" Yep. The kitchen.


Since strawberry season is on it's way, Ooh and Aah over these "fresh from the patch look"
Strawberry cupcakes topped with fondant blossoms and berries over at
Glorious Treats


Ice cream cookie sandwich by Not Quite Nigella
Talk about adorable.


My cuteness meter is off the chart with these pink dipped strawberries by
CheekyKitchen.com



Any mermaid would LOVE these seahorses. The pretty undersea cookies can be found at
Bake at 350




Or if you are in a hurry you can always use a mix or top store bought cupcakes with these pretty Marie cupcake picks from papernosh. Who will know the difference? I'll never tell. Queens don't bake anyway!!!

Hello Friends!

To My Mother
You too, my mother, read my rhymes
For love of unforgotten times,
And you may chance to hear once more
The little feet along the floor.



-Robert Louis Stevenson

I LOVE the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson. They touch this mother deeply. Sadly poetry, something even the manliest of men would quote and pen is being lost to many of the the younger generation. My own included.


Oh to go back in time, just an hour or so for each year of my children's lives! How quickly the time goes! My youngest now seven, my middle almost driving, my oldest not quite 19, and a father himself. Do you ever long for a few more moments in the rocking chair singing lullabies, or laughing at your little one's joy in the simplest of things? Sometimes my heart aches for it.



So a prayer from me for your children and mine.............


From my home and heart to yours,
