An involved game of make-believe, or a mess.
It all depends on your perspective.

It was time for lunch.
The youngest was bouncing off the walls, and everyone was picking on each other.
SIT DOWN AND READ, I bellowed.
And so they did.

This same time, years previous: caramelized oatmeal topping (made this recently—it was a smash hit), oven s’mores, dreaming, on our way, smartly, roasted peaches, picture perfect (I just posted on this topic on Friday—must be something about this time of year…), honey-whole wheat cake, blueberry coffee cake

Re the toothpick curls: her hair was too wet every time she did it, so the curls came out. If the hair had dried completely, it would've made nice ringlets, I think. (I believe it was her own idea, though I'm not sure…)
Margo
did she make up the toothpick curls? I've seen rag curls before. . .
I love that first photo of you in the kitchen. So cozy. I also feel the love from your son from the photo he took – how is that possible, but that's the vibe I get.

want to see a picture of the toothpick curls without the toothpicks
