A book, a favorite sandwich, and some warm milk in a mug that Mom has had since she was a little girl. Sounds like a pretty nice way to end the weekend.
We had black bean and cheese quesadillas tonight, with grilled veggies and rice. Yum. Erika ate her rice, picked at the rest, and left to read a book. She is already such a tiny bean and I hate the idea of sending her to bed hungry. So, I made her a salami sandwich. She doesn't share our love of Mexican food, what can I do?
We got this great art book from the library this weekend and she was looking at it as she ate her extravagant dinner. "This one is my favorite," she said, showing me Georgia O'Keeffe's Abstraction White Rose.
Who is this woman?
My name is Niku and this is my virtual home. Much like our real home, it is filled with kid's art, books, food, and a constant desire to grow and learn. My girls are eight, five, and one. My husband makes me laugh every single day.
