hello all- I am catching up from taking a holiday break from the computer. I hope all of your holidays were wonderful and full of simple peace and joy! I will be sharing some of our joyful pictures and times from the past week during this last week of the year. It was a sweet time and just reminds me how much I enjoy playing elf, watching my boys adore the simpliest things with the season and always coming back to the love of my family, friends, and sharing of good food and drink!
One of the best presents we got from Santa was a white Christmas this year- it was so wonderful to wake up to snow flakes on Christmas Day. The snow was magical and yet not enough to deter some travel for us either. As I was pelted with snowballs yesterday, sliding down hills, and laying down making snow angels I just had to laugh. Hot cocoa and kisses in the afternoon just made for a lovely holiday! Here are some more pictures from the holiday.
I am gearing up for the New Year's celebration to share some new traditions and reflecting on the past year. One of my favorite new additions to mamaroots this year is my friendship and partnership is Kristine at Herbal Roots. Her monthly zines always provide moments of learning and quiet joy with the boys! It is instinctual and wonderful each month! She is generous to send me a copy each month and one that I am able to give to you each month. In exchange you will find a mamaroots made critter that she gives away and we send one to her family also. It has been a wonderful year with herbal learning and I am so looking forward to 2010 Herbal fashion!
