Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

When I think of a potluck, I can’t begin to tell you the memories that flood my mind and fill me with a nostalgic sense of where I come from. As a child of the 70′s, I remember the basics: edible flowers in wooden bowls, and lacy patchouli scented tablecloths strewn with every type of home-grown sprout & fresh tofu or edible wild green.

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a great few days! We just wrapped up a super weekend filled with kids parties and an end to an entire (wonderfully bizarre) week of parrot sitting. Yes, you did read that right! For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you may have seen little Ella perched on my tea-cup or nestled inside my shirt – she belongs to great friends who were vacationing in Mexico and we had a lovely time together indeed :) Continue reading
