Our Favorite Holiday Scent

December 23, 2012 1 Comments
1 orange sliced
1 lemon sliced
3 bay leaves
a handful of cinnamon sticks
a handful of whole cloves

Simmer in water. And don’t forget to replenish the water when it cooks down. I lost a sauce pan because I neglected the water and all my spices burned to a crisp. That was not our favorite scent. But this citrus and spice blend is the perfect aroma. Smells like Christmas…

Five children in four years, including two sets of twins, brought new meaning to Mary Oliver's earnest question. Our little people aren't so little anymore, but life is still wild, still precious. And this is my meager attempt to hold on, make it last. I love Doug, running, hiking in the mountains, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, the edge of an ocean, and connecting with you here. So happy to have you along.
