Egg Decorating

        I am really excited to try the natural dye method from Martha Stewart. I love the vibrant colors of the traditional cooking dyes or egg decorating kits, but I'm always looking for little changes to try and create a natural healthy lifestyle. Spring always reminds me that beautiful vibrant colors also occur in nature.
        Here are some egg pics of last years food dye mixed with a bit of oil for a marbleized effect method.

 

Now I have to go buy some eggs! What is your favorite decorating method?

Wonder What to Eat?

Sweet Potato, Celery, and Apple Salad

This salad was super refreshing. The sesame seeds were a perfect addition. I love non salad salads. You know, salads with substance. Any favorites?

Wonderful Prosaics

 prosaic = commonplace or ordinary

A term coined by contemporary literary philosopher Gary Saul Morson to capture "a way of thinking about human events that focuses on the ordinary, messy, quotidian facts of daily life—in short, on the prosaic. Cloaked in their very ordinariness, the prosaic events that truly shape our lives—that truly are our lives—escape our notice." *

It may be that our most prosaic events, those with father and mother, are the least discernible and the most critical in shaping our lives.

I found this beautiful magazine called Seeing the Everyday. It inspired me to look a little more carefully at what ordinary shapes my life and my family.
