I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. When there is love at home, there is beauty all around.
I was so blessed by my family this year and felt very blessed in my life. Truly, my cup runneth over!
This year, I got a wheat grinder so I can grind my own wheat! Hooray! I started writing down all the recipes I could find for bread, pancakes, waffles, etc.
Mother's Day I was treated to whole wheat pancakes with fresh blueberries and raspberries!
As we were making the pancakes, I noticed Shaeler playing in the family room. However, I caught her sitting in the bucket in deep thought and had to get a shot. For some reason I love this picture.
Today, after I went grocery shopping, I made my first bread. Turned out pretty good!
My expectations are low since this is the first time I have EVER made bread. It smells sssoooo good in my house right now!
I thought it was funny that I was in the kitchen all afternoon barefoot and an apron on. I felt motherly!
Shae came home from school and brought me home this lovely flower in a pot she made at school.
And for a brief moment tonight, we saw a full rainbow that was so bright in color. The picture does no justice to the actual rainbow, but Brian and I loved looking at it. And in a moment, it was gone!
I hope you all had a great Mother's Day weekend. I am thankful for my mother's and all the incredible women in my life!

I'm jealous of the wheat grinder. Congrats to your bread making abilities. It looks delish.
Woo-hoo! Nice bread lady!!! Did it taste good as well?
That is a beautiful rainbow! I grind my own wheat too and I have a great recipe..so easy..90 min. from start to finish with no second rising! It's in a post I did in Sept. 09'...you might want to look at it too. Come say hi :D
So glad you got your wheat grinder! Brian is the king of giving good gifts. :)
That is fantastic that you are making your own bread. There is nothing like baking your own bread. The smell of the house. Yum!
You definitely deserve a great mother's day. I am glad you enjoyed it.
The wheat grinder is such a awesome gift.. it makes up for all of those "not so wonderful" gifts throughout the years.. like the doll! lol!
I am amazed Suzanne! Very Domestic!
Glad your Mothers Day was full of Happiness!!!
WOW- Bread! I must admit that though my mom taught me to make bread and rolls, I never do it...It's just not my favorite thing to do?
I'm glad you had a great weekend, and I'm lovin' the rainbow picture! I can just imagine how beautiful it really was, pictures just never do them justice!
One day I will buy an apron and you have to teach me how to cook. I don't think I could ever find the courage to attempt canning, baking or anything else that would involve something besides the microwave.
You are an amazing mother and I am thrilled you had such a wonderful Mothers Day. <3
