A blessing...

This past week I was having a particularly hard day with my kids and dealing/understanding our current circumstances in life when I heard a light knock at my front door. At first I thought it was just a package being delivered but to my surprise a neighbor who I have never met came over with her 3 year old son to introduce herself and to give me a piece of carrot cake that she had made.

After a nice conversation and being able to get to know her and think outside of myself for a moment; I realized how God had sent her to show His love. What a tender mercy it was/is to know that I and my little family are being looked after. I have never really liked carrot cake. But this piece was amazing!

Thank you dear neighbor!

Hawkins Family Cookbook 2012

You might be wondering what /where I have been for the past couple of months. Well I have still been creating despite the craziness of life. I assembled a family cookbook for my side of the family. Everyone offered there favorite recipes and it came together quite nicely. What ended up being a small project turned out to be 160 pages of wonderful memories. Above is the cover of the book!
