Summer Sun
It is that time of year again where all we want to do is lay around in the sun and catch some rays. At least, I do. But right now in Northern Minnesota it is still rainy and cold so I’m not catching any sun for a while. But every once in a while, that…

Pizza Night
Pizza night was always one of my favorite family activities. Every Friday we would have a couple pizzas in the oven while trying to find a movie to watch, then we would start eating as soon as they came steaming out of the oven. There is nothing like sitting around the family room watching a…

What is Diligence

Some traditions are worth keeping.
I absolutely love some of the traditions that surround tea in Asian cultures. Even though I may not understand the deeper meanings behind them, I can feel the reverence and respect that a lot of them have for the traditions.
