It’s been a long couple of weeks around these parts. There has been so much going on and so many changes that it feels like a bit of a whirlwind right now.

I love watching how things always work themselves out even when we can’t see the end from the beginning.

When things would start flying at a million miles an hour back home, I would call my best friend up and we would sneak away for a few hours at our favorite tea shop. A big steaming teapot of chai, a scone and some girl time is guaranteed to make everything feel manageable and exciting again.


Some days you need good fussy food that takes all day to prepare. And some days just need something so simple and comforting that you sink into your chair and feel surrounded by the smell of spices, the soothe of warm milk and the laughter of a good friend.

Today is definitely that kind of day.
