Lately cooking has been such drudgery. I think it’s because we’re between seasons, and heavy winter food doesn’t sound good. And the abundance of summer is not fully available yet. However, since I am the %&*!! kitchen fairy my peeps still expect me to put deliciousness on the table. But, %&*!! kitchen fairies require inspiration. [...]

About
Jackie
I'm a human being, sometimes fumbling through life, but more often amazed by the great glorious adventure that it is. If you want labels - I'm a stay at home mom, a tree hugger, a tightwad, a wife, a nerd, a jogger, a bookworm, a creative soul, a pretty good cook, a beloved child of God, an avid hobby photographer, a person who likes to dip her toes into all that life has to offer. In fact you might find that we have a lot in common, and that labels don't really explain the complexity of human beings.
Thanks for visiting me, I always love to hear from you! You can also email me at b(dot)jackie79(at)yahoo(dot)com-
