Photo Credit: Beth Peront Thanks for tuning in to my Chicken Soup story last Friday. If you missed it, catch the details here: Shut Up and Listen. Then read on (or listen!) below. She Picked Up Her Pen by allie taylor The events of today’s post took place the day after Shut Up and Listen , last February. So honestly, Shut Up…
Cacophony of Silence
He arrived home through the side door at lunchtime, quietly clicking it behind him. I felt his eyes as I emptied the dishwasher. “You hear that?” “Hear what?” I said, straining to listen, noiselessly stacking plates. “You don’t hear it?” I shook my head. “You can’t miss it. That beautiful sound. Silence.” Cacophony of Silence by allie taylor Ahhhh yes….
Mexican Shredded Chicken
I really do enjoy creating pretty, fancy recipes in the kitchen. Like this Raspberry Almond Cake for my sister’s birthday. Reminds me of a Dr. Seuss, Cat in the Hat hat. 🙂 I’ll have to share the cake recipe with you soon. But let’s talk about Mexican Shredded Chicken. While it isn’t fancy, it’s that go-to recipe I…
DIY Monogram Wreath
Let’s make an easy DIY Monogram Wreath today! Depending on where you live, the Christmas wreaths are already put up til’ next Christmas. Funny how in the north we keep Christmas wreaths up longer. I remember having all my Christmas decorations down and put away by January 1st when we lived in the south. Everyone…
Micawber
A squirrel that delights in visiting the Met, aspiring to open his own private art gallery? That would be Micawber. A fun picture book for kids ages 3-99, I gave Micawber to my favorite little artist Charlie, several years ago. Micawber delights on several levels. Illustrator C. F. Payne’s artwork is gorgeous and expressive. Payne’s illustrations…
Jewish Coffee Cake
I was really thinking about us going on a field trip today, had a few places in mind. And then there was a beautiful children’s book I wanted to tell you about. But guess what won out? This Jewish Coffee Cake recipe. We took a vote at our house. It’s really cold out, and everyone wants to…
Shut up and Listen
We all have life defining moments. We don’t know when or where they’ll happen, we just know they do. And usually when we least expect it. If you don’t know, one of my little boys has an extra chromosome. It’s mind boggling that something so microscopic and invisible to the naked eye contributes to such…
Chicken Enchilada Soup
Chicken Enchilada Soup has to be one of the most satisfying and flavorful soup recipes in my recipe box. It’s also the one I’ve passed on most through the years. Chicken Enchilada Soup is perfect for these frigid days we’re having. Wish I could say I wrote the recipe, but I didn’t. And I don’t…
Show and Tell
It’s bitterly cold here today. But not as cold as in Chicago. School’s cancelled there today due to the freezing temps. So says my teacher cousin. (If you haven’t yet read my humorous story about the cold here in New England, don’t miss Misery Loves Company ) When it gets frigid around here, we have to get…
Unbroken
Have you seen the movie Unbroken yet? Jon and I had a last minute opportunity to sneak out for a flick Friday night. We’d been wanting to see Unbroken since opening day on Christmas. (Actually, we’d been wanting to see it for months.) We read articles about the filming of the movie and saw a few reviews,…
