ReplyDeleteToday I again linked to you because I am grateful for you and how you inspire me through the life you share. Thank you Paige from the bottom of my heart for being you and for sharing your "Simple Thoughts" with us. _
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoyed reading this. Ferns remind me of my mom...she loves them. We love Ina in our house and a new cookbook is always fun. Dinner looks so good and healthy :) I've been wanting to read a more in depth book with my daughter...would you recommend this one for a 7 year old?

Beautiful Ferns! I have been looking and thinking about picking up that cookbook. I adore Ina! But, I tend to be a little bit nervous about trying her recipes. Is it really easy?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful Spring day at your house! Happy Spring!
That glaze sound AMAZING! Can't wait to try that...how do you roast your brussel sprouts?!?! Any special seasonings?
ReplyDeleteThe porch looks so inviting. Sweet pictures of the girls and Brinkley!
Sounds like a good day to me.
ReplyDeleteI might just have to borrow that meal of yours. I mean it...the whole thing just looks amazing. Your kiddos are probably better eaters than mine are though.
I love that you put the herbs in the tool box, very crafty. I can't wait to start planting in the garden.
Girl, how do you roast brussel spouts? I've never cooked them EVER!! I have no idea where to start!
ReplyDeleteI know that Spring is here, but the reality is we are getting 3 inches of snow in Massachusetts tomorrow! I love visiting your blog each day to read your wonderful posts and seeing the beautiful photos that accompany each one. My porch is just a warm spring day away!
ReplyDeletei'm gonna try really hard not to be jealous! i had freezing rain pelting my window all night...woke up to SNOW! UGH!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious day! I am so jealous, we woke up to 8" of snow, wonderful. Next week we will be on our favorite beach so that gives me something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteLove me some Ina!!!! That Barefoot Contessa can COOK!!! You guy are having the weather I have been praying for! I live in California, a very small town, population 350, and what is it doing on the 4th day of Spring???? SNOWING, yep you read that right SNOWING..... come on Spring I need some sun and beautiful pictures to take like Paige!!! Your home is so beautiful and warm....
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours
Curtis & Sherrie
