Dear Sunday Letter friends~

My family recently spent several days in Santa Fe, and oh my goodness, what a wonderful time we had! For over a week I was unplugged from social media, consumed no news or Netflix, did zero yard work or dog-walking (missed both though), and accomplished no real writing either.

Instead, I plugged into nature and art and food and music and family. Mainly, I got to see my KIDS!

It was a fantastic few days and a much-needed break from routine.

True story: I returned home with 392 new photos on my iPhone.

Remember when we took pictures with a camera, dropped off the film at Big Star (or wherever), and waited with great anticipation for the photos to come back in a handy little envelope?

Ha.

What a time we live in.Continue Reading

While Mississippi County probably isn’t anyone’s idea of a spring break destination, we love being back home come rain or come shine.

This is seriously the best ever homemade granola. Once you realize how easy it is to make, you’ll never again buy granola from the grocery store. (Sorry, grocery stores.) If you aren’t a granola-eating person, you might want to give it another try. This homemade granola is not only yummy, addictive, and filled with healthy ingredients, but the recipe is adaptable.Continue Reading
