spiced cupboard cookies with cinnamon glaze



Can you even believe I'm posting more cookie pictures?  Normally I wouldn't do that to you all, but what better last-minute Christmas Eve recipe than something warm and chewy.  We have done more baking this year than I've ever done in my life and it makes my tummy (and my family) so happy.  Dough had dried between our fingers, nutmeg spilled over the table, and the warm aroma of cinnamon and vanilla filled the house for hours.  All perfect ingredients coming together for this very special muma-daughter cooking date, if I do say so myself!  More photos, plus the recipe for my spiced cupboard cookies with cinnamon glaze are over on Gathered Heart for Katherine's seasonal 12 Days of Christmas Cookies series. Have you seen it yet?  It's dangerously delicious...

PS- thank you all for your lovely messages on my last post!

Sofia, Erick and I are truly grateful for all of your kind words, messages, comments and emails through the year.  I had no idea that this blog I originally created to document our daily life would open up so many doors to great friendships with beautiful people all the way around the world - I am smitten.  I love you all, and can't wait to see what the new year has in store for all of us.

bathe

first bath, mother's day 2013 we bathed you in the afternoon sun, warm and snuggled between layers of terrycloth. your sister gently helped shampoo your hair and wipe the bubbles from your skin. your papa took your photo as i held you between my hands, still so very little. your lips, softly open. your eyes, gazing outwards toward the shining sun. we live for the simple moments - there is no other way i could have imagined this day. just as it is, just as you are. a mother. it's my most favorite thing to be.
