PS - I am hoping one of my daughters wants to cook dinner someday..right now they are in training!
Those flowers are just refreshing! Way to go Madison for cooking...I love that. Enjoy your day today (and your run!).
Now I'm particularly interested in those brussels sprouts. How were they cooked? They are one of my favorite vegetables and I'm always interested in new ways to cook them.
The flowers are beautiful. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Who said that?
Lovely! You are a lucky lady to have someone who both wants to cook and is good at it!! Hopin' one of my kids will want to do that when they're a little older! Lovin' that photo of the laptop on the ottoman....the lighting is gorgeous! (I know of all the wierd photos for my to choose in a post full of pretty photos...it just makes me want to curl up in that chair!)
i would love to cook in that kitchen, with your daughter. do i see a future chef?? everything looks perfect. oohhhh i am oozing with pride. ; )
i might have to share some of my favorite recipes, with your sweet girl.
love

My great grandma raised me and when I was a teenager or home for summer break in college...she would let me look through the Southern Living magazines and pick out recipes that I would like to try once a week to make...it was so fun and great memories to cook for her...my Aunt & Uncle would join us that day as well.
When our oldest son, Noah, was in high school, he cooked dinner for us 3 nights a week, part of his chores for allowance. I would always clean up but he came up with some great recipes and has become quite a good cook. His wife is very happy that we taught him this skill. But and there is always a but..... one night we came home to our dinner, and Noah had steamed some zuchini... or what he thought was zuchini.... lets just say that steamed cucumber is really gross!!!!! We laughed then and are still laughing now, but isn't that what it is all about? Making family stories to tell and laugh about??
Blessings to you and yours
Curtis & Sherrie
Ooooh -- lovely images! Especially love the ones of your sweet girl cooking in the kitchen! Sweet!! Hope you have a great weekend!

Those roses are entirely lovely, as are the sprouts. Toss in a pickled beet and I'd be in heaven.
But five miles??? {shudder}
Madison looks like quite the lil chef there. I am so impressed. LOVe your roses and the photos are beautiful. Happy weekend:)

that's so cool about madison cooking! I'm impressed! Enjoy your lazy day! I'm finally motivated today and I've cleaned all 3 baths, kitchen, laundry, closet... Now I need to go run errands because apparently Oprah's favorite things is on today!
Madison is so adorable. I love that she wants to cook for her family. What a precious child! Those roses are gorgeous! My MIL and I hit up Alexander Park this morning with Fergus after dropping the girls off at Preschool. It was GORGEOUS out. I bet you really enjoyed your run and your time with Brinkley, the weather was perfect!
love the pics...those floors just look amazing....you'll never regret them!
love to see that girl of yours cooking....
love that first shot of your coffee, your computer and the chair....

Just starting following your blog recently (love it!). Hope I am not repeating something, but where did you get the Bus/Subway roll black and white list on the side of your cabinet??
Hi Paige,
Hope you are feeling ok and that you have a nice relaxing weekend! Your breakfast looks fabulous!
Let the beds go unmade and take time to do something special for yourself!

oh, how wonderful...especially having a daughter who loves to cook!! I am just now starting to let my daughter do things in the kitchen. I'm hoping she turns into a barefoot contessa. :)
Hi Paige! this is great...we are just harvesting brussel sprouts, and you totally made me hungry...I always love seeing bits of your family life :)
xo+blessings,
Anne Marie
I love your girls!!! I have a mini chef also, Mallory my middle daughter!! I also let my oldest see harry potter at 12, so out of character for me, she kept saying really? Are you serious? and I let her spend the night and go into school an hour late!!
Believing six impossible things before breakfast? Ha, maybe
breakfast starts around supper time!!
what a wonderful daughter of yours...her dinner looks amazing that she cooked:)
pretty pretty photos of your home you showed too
Your roses are lovely.
Great post...those eggs look yummy! I love eggs, crave them sometimes, but never do them fancy like that. I need to! ;-)
