Pretty Happy Funny Real {peaches}

Pretty ~ as a peach!  The peaches are so fragrant and beautiful right now that I had to make strawberry peach jam.  I have never done any preserving before and now I am addicted!   

Happy ~ My oldest son is so kind to his baby brother (KC) and when he wanted to hold hands with RW I couldn't resist capturing the moment.

Funny ~ We have been having fun exploring new parks around town.  We had this place all to ourselves on this beautiful day.

Real ~ As I mentioned, I am loving making jam these days but the reality is that it is a big project and requires a lot of clean up afterward.  Totally worth it!

    I love making jam but haven't done it in years. Strawberry peach sounds delicious. Jam making is quite a process but I love to see all of those beautiful jars lined up after it's done. Will you be posting more about this on your baking blog? I'd love to see the recipe and some more pictures. :) Great photos!

    I love the shot of your boys in the van. My oldest boy has become surprisingly patient and generous with his 3 younger brothers. I never thought I would see that, as he was quite different a mere two years ago!

    LOVE your photography!

    The holding hands shot reminded me too of a time in our lives. My 2nd son had really curly hair (just buzzed and I am missing it)and he would sit next to the babies. When they would fuss he would offer them "a bag of curls" putting his head sacrificially in their laps. It would distract and entertain the babies to grab on to his luscious curls!

    Thanks for the memories and fo sharing your talented eye and loving family.

Saturday Surfing {favorite spots from around the web}

Saturdays are the perfect time for a little aimless web-wandering and here are few of my recent reads I'd like to recommend to you.

At the Water's Edge {52 Photos Project}

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that where we live, day after day, is actually a vacation destination for many people who come from far away to spend a weekend on the beach. They may have saved money for months to afford a few days splashing around in the waves and relaxing on the san that makes up our neighborhood. I feel such gratitude that I can zip down the beach road on a whim, as we did yesterday, with less than two hours to spare; we simply needed to swim in the sea. It was almost 100 degrees outside and the sun gleamed in a brilliant blue sky. So off we went, while Kai was at camp, to the beach.  The older two boys swam gleefully as I read Bread and Wine and dreamed of delicious meals to make my sun-kissed family for dinner. At one point I looked up and snapped this photo of my view. Then I pinched myself. This really is our home , our daily vacation spot, the place my boys have now lived for longer than anywhere else in their lives. We are living this beachy ...

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven b...
