Hello, friends!
I hope this finds you happy, well, healthy, energized.
I’m taking a week of from my Let It Be Sunday offerings. I’m spending the weekend celebrating my birthday with Will, his family, my parents, and our friends. It’s my favorite weekend of the year and the unofficial start to summer and I plan to be fully in it.
The offering this week is a podcast episode of This American Life: The Daily. What’s your daily prayer, exercise, offering? We all have so many. Making the bed, the coffee routine, staring at the garden encouraging the shrubs (as if they need it)… we could go on forever. There’s a comfort in recognizing them and seeing ourselves in others.
Thats the offering today. Have the most wonderful day. Make cobbler. Be well.
My love to you.

Happy Birthday from Texas! Hope you enjoy it. I’ve grown up reading your blog and trying your recipes and it has been such a joy following along. When I’m trying to impress people with my cooking skills my go to recipe is your olive enchiladas! I’m almost always asked for the recipe and I’m so happy to send them your way. Thanks for sharing your treasured family recipes with us. Can’t wait to come by the bakehouse after I graduate next summer.
To answer your question:
On a good day my morning routine would be to wake up early, go for a walk//workout, water my many houseplants, drink a homemade london fog and spend some time studying the old testament//hebrew//history with some classical music as my backdrop. Drink a green smoothie and listen to a podcast as I fold laundry, wash the dishes, or take a shower. My favorites right now are Becoming something, Mama Bear Apologetics, The Alsa Childers Podcast, Open doors, and Coffeebreak Espanol.
In reality I hit the snooze button and put off studying for my nursing exams until I’m rushing to get dressed, put on dirty socks because I can’t find any clean ones, and rush out the door to class or clinicals praying I make it on time?
