{our moment}


We're joining Amanda this week for her Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Irish Soda Bread and Homemade Butter


We made Irish soda bread and homemade butter (and buttermilk!) to celebrate the holiday and our Irish roots. Even though it is a small percentage of our heritage, Ryan is so proud when he grows a beard that it is so red.
Basically, it is any soda bread recipe with a handfull of oats and raisins and a tablespoon of caraway seeds thrown in. To make the handmade butter, pour chilled cream (the good stuff, organic/heavy)
into a jar and shake it until it becomes whipped cream (at which point you can pour a little into a bowl for the kiddos to dip their fingers in) Keep shaking the rest until it seperates into butter and buttermilk.
Chill the butter to spread onto your soda bread and drink the buttermilk immediately as it is so delicious!!!

Our Christmas Star

Gracie made a beautiful star during a recent Waldorf inspired class and we decided today that it would be the best topper for our tree.

the best Thanksgiving ever!!!


It was a blessing for Ryan to be given beamtime yesterday because it was one of the most memorable days for the entire family. Gracie was so excited to see daddy's work. It was such a "magical" place. Emily was probably one of the youngest to be given a security pass, which she happily chewed on. And the collaborators from around the world hope he always gets beamtime on a holiday so his wife cooks for them again. The only leftover food is Gracie's cranberry sauce! "Maybe Christmas next year?" 
There were SO MANY smiles that honestly...I wouldn't mind xoxo
