Who doesn’t adore a perfectly arranged pastry shelf oh so artfully prepared on this magnificent day of love?

I grabbed my bag and headed straight for Panera Bread where I knew I’d find all sorts of interesting people to draw.

View post →Or is it spelled mangoes? Never sure. All I know is, a few years back when I visited St. Thomas with Margaret, her brother’s house had a mango tree behind it. Every morning, we would take our coffee out on to the porch and pull a mango off the tree for breakfast. So heavenly. It’s […]

The best part is the time together and often how unpredictable the cookies turn out. So this year in honor of his uncle (a.k.a. my husband, a 5th degree black belt in karate) Jayden found […]
