Beautiful! The scene you describe with your daughter reminded me of something my youngest said recently that I’ve been thinking about, because it was so pure and positive and contrary to how jaded, cynical, and cautious I can get. I understand so well that deep desire to protect their happiness. What my daughter said and my initial thoughts reminded me that part of that protection often relies on changing my attitude. Love your writing!

Okay, but why can't life just throw out kids nothing but lovely things? *sigh* Also, immediately bookmarking those muffins.

Funny you should say that because I bookmarked the blueberry pie bowls after reading your Feb newsletter. Looks so good!
