Hello, tender friends!
I got to enjoy all of my favorite healthy things on my birthday! (Of course, my number one favorite thing is Cubby and Anthony, and I get to enjoy them every day!)
While many of you know that I’m fasting from caffeinated tea for another 10 months or so, I enjoyed receiving this new snowflake mug from church and using it to drink green rooibos tea.
As if that wasn’t enough, my sister gave me this gorgeous tea cup for Christmas. Most of our nice things have been in storage for years, so it’s special to have this to drink from.
One of my favorite past times is experimenting with new recipes. And I got to make my very first broccoli soup on my birthday.
If you don’t normally like your broccoli either raw or cooked, I implore you to try it in a soup. The texture was even creamier than I was anticipating, and I felt like I was drinking green velvet! And I mean that in the best possible way! It was so soothing to drink that green liquid down, and I ate four bowls of it the first day and then polished it off the second day. Even Anthony, who doesn’t love broccoli, said the soup was good. And Cub loved it too!
If you guessed that I’d eat my own homemade squash pie for my birthday cake, you’re right! I told Anthony that I wanted 38 candles, but I somehow only ended up with five. That’s ok. Cubby had a blast sitting on my lap and “helping” me blow them out.
So here I am, grateful for the privilege of another year around the sun. Thank you, Lord, for this gift, and help me to make the most of it!
Ok, it’s all for today, tender friends! Thank you for stopping by! I’ll be sharing a post about God revealing our children’s names (plural because of the future, not because I’m currently pregnant) to us.
Thank you for sharing!
