On the home front










While mom was here I baked, she sewed. I experimented with different recipes for BaseCamp Cafe. Fresh from the oven; apple, pear coffee cake- with oat streussel and cinnamon bun wreaths- with brioche dough, my campers gobbled them both up -instant winners.
 Mom made new slip covers for our old sofa...from baby quilts she sewed last time and new covers for the pillows with colorful leftover fabric. I love it when she comes and helps me with my kids and home...such a nice lift. At the end of the day we sat down with coffee and fresh baked goodies and figured what to add to the menu...our home is happy, colorful and delish!

  1. I am so jealous. What a great time you had with your mom and so creative too. I miss my mom even though she's been gone for 12 years. I'm so glad we spent time with one another when we were able. Such good memories.

  2. Yummie, they look delicious!
    Your mom made beautiful covers!
    In July, my mother will come for a few weeks to Hungary.
    Then she will learn us, how to spin wool ;)

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.
