10 Recipes To Try This Week | 8/21/16

Happy Sunday Amigos! We made it!

I’m feeling for the people of Louisiana and praying for them. Oh how I wish I could scoop up all that water and dump it on the dry, dry land here. Superpowers would be helpful.

This past week was our last full week of summer. Louisa starts school on Tuesday and I’m nervous for her—but don’t worry, she’s not. I’ve also swallowed a pill and decided to do a little schooling at home with Hiro. Does this mean I’m homeschooling? I’ll let you know how it goes, please pray for me….and my child.
