Small Success Thursday :: Little Bliss List

1.  I made my first batch of cinnamon rolls from scratch. Making it even better was that they were made with ultra-rich brioche dough. 


2.  Got to spend a beautiful day outdoors with my ten year old son and his classmates while touring beautiful Williamsburg, Virginia.


3.  Enjoyed several strong thunderstorms while cozy and safe at home with my boys.

 4.  Cheered my husband (on the left) and his running buddy to the finish line of the Marine Corp Historic Half Marathon in Fredericksburg, Virginia.


5.  Hooked up the hose and laughed as the boys soaked one another.  Summer begins!

    I didn't know that people enjoyed thunderstorms. My daughter likes photos of backs too. It just makes me wonder - perhaps, I am not artistic enough.

    Love your bliss list such great moments. The cinnamon rolls are bringing back memories of those that my Mom would make when I was young. I think may need to ask for the recipe so I could make them too. Wishing you another blissful week. xoox Lori

    Such a beautiful week Misty! I am SO impressed by those cinnamon rolls. I miss thunderstorms (we don't get them often here on the coast)...they really are spectacular. Hope you have a blissful week!

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...

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. The Wild Surrender of Motherhood by Carrie Ann Moss @Annapurna Living This new website launched this week and is absolutely lovely. Remember Carrie Ann Moss from the Matrix movies? Well she is now the founder and inspiration behind this blog.  Here is an excerpt of her vision for annapurnaliving.com : FROM CARRIE-ANNE ... “To see womanhood through eyes of grace.”  My desire is to live in a world where nourishment is valued.

Petals :: 52 Photos Project

Where I live the Bradford Pears have bloomed and blown and the Cherry Blossoms are in full blossom.  Even though that means our allergy season is now officially underway, I cannot help opening our windows every morning in hopes of hearing the birds singing to greet the day.  Springtime has conveniently coincided with my personal recovery process from knee surgery.  As I am slowly re-gaining mobility on crutches it seems an added encouragement that the weather is also improving and the trees are welcoming my return with their flowers. What a treat it would be to be able to put down my crutches in time for Easter Sunday and walk again on my own! (I am doubtful but one can hope.) Sharing with 52 Photos Project :: Petals
