I love bread… and when I say I love bread, I mean LOVE bread. Not the white, soft, tasteless toast bread that seems to be abundant in the grocery stores, but the crunchy crusty outside, doughy and full of flavor inside bread… bread that reminds me of the kind that you would find in Germany and Europe.

As I sit here waiting for Noah and Abby to fall asleep so that I can start sewing, I decided to look through some old posts. I have to admit, that the past two years are a bit of a blur to me, so it was nice be able to go back and see that

We’re now 10 13 days into the new year, and I think I can safely say that I have a clear set of resolutions/goals for the year ahead. Some of them are not so new and are repeated goals from years past, some goals are pretty typical for this time of year, and others (professional

Happy New Year from a very snowy northern Illinois. It’s that time where we say goodbye to the year that just ended, as well as everything that came with it, and hello to the endless possibilities awaiting us in the year ahead. 2013 was an interesting year for us and the best part of it
