Recently I returned home from shopping to find this waiting on my front step… it felt like Christmas.
Well, o.k. actually, it was almost Christmas, but if you could imagine that tickle you get in your belly at Christmastime, then you’d know exactly how I felt when I saw that box.
The Traveling Cookbook had arrived on my doorstep.
What’s The Traveling Cookbook you ask?
Well, two lovely ladies, Chris Ann and Kristin of LoveFeast Table have put together a fabulous project called The Traveling Cookbook. In a nutshell, one cookbook will travel from one blogger to the next and cook a few recipes from the book, share their experiences by scrapbooking in the cookbook and then pass it along. Eventually the cookbook will be as full of personal experiences as all of the bellies that got to enjoy the recipes and it will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to Feed My Starving Children. How cool is that?
The first cookbook to take this most splendid journey is The Pioneer Woman Cooks, by Ree Drummond.
I just adore Ree’s cookbook and couldn’t wait to dig in and try some new recipes! We decided to kick off the New Year by cooking up a hearty breakfast. Please join me over at The Traveling Cookbook page to see all the fun!

One Day…
One day.
One day I will have my house in perfect order.
One day my body will be what it was before children. And before my 40′s.
One day I won’t have to worry about my children. Their happiness. Who their friends are. Where they are. How they’ll handle situations. Who they’ll become. (HA.)
One day the grass will be freshly cut, all the laundry will be clean, folded and put away. The house will be sparkling clean, dinner ready, mundane tasks accomplished all at the same time.
One day all of my work will be caught up.
One day I won’t worry about all of the things that I’m worrying about today.
One day.
Some days seem like a monumental struggle.
Some days seem to suck every ounce of my being.
Then I wake up and am blessed with a fresh start.
The beginning of a new day.
There are magnificent days.
Horrific days.
Memorable days.
Forgettable days.
Busy days.
Boring days.
Sunny days.
Blustery days.
Ho-hum days.
SCREAM OUT LOUD days.
Inspire days.
Desire days.
Jump-for-joy-days.
How-in-the-world-am-I-going-to-get-through them days.
And then the other day something wonderful happened smack-dab in the middle of a not-so-fabulous day.
And my not-so-fabulous day turned into a truly-fantabulous day.
But today, I realized something…
that my “one day” is actually ”this day”.
Each one day, or some day, bad day or good day, eventually…
cumulatively…
becomes the “one days” that make my life.
It always amazes me what a monumental difference a day can make and what a monumental difference you can make in one day.
Embrace the day.
