Oh Happy Day!

I hope you're enjoying your day with Mom!

 

Be sure to give her a great big 'ol hug, a wet juicy kiss
 and thank her for not only instilling life's lessons,
but also reminding of the importance of appreciating the little things in life
and never forgetting to dance in the rain!

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible Moms out there... 

Especially mine!

Gift Guide: Mother's Day

via Terrain

Ralph Waldo Emerson once declared,

"men are what their mothers made them."

And while that truth certainly extends to the ladies as well, 

I couldn't provide a more resounding concurrence!

So in preparation for the day we set aside to celebrate one of the most important women in our lives, I've compiled a quick list of great gifts that will let Mom know

 how much she means to those who adore her!

Obsession: Antique Pickling Jars

I know you've seen them, I'm sure you've heard of them, and if you're like me, you can't possibly get enough of them!

Pickling Jars are all the rage these days,

and I couldn't be happier!

Have You Seen This?!

I was stunned when I came across the latest ads for French coffee company

Arabica Carte Noire. 

 

Saturated with rich colors, beautifully highlighting impressive culinary techniques and encouraging any cook to slow down and appreciate the beauty in boiling water, these videos are absolutely captivating!



So if you love to cook as much as I do, you can truly count yourself as an artist, the proof is in the pudding, I say!

Oh and treat yourself to a little something sweet, we've almost made it through the week!

April Showers...

...Bring my favorite season of all...flower season! 



And if you're anything like me, you can't help but literally stop to smell the roses.  While the Texas heat usually makes our spring season swift, the abundance of natural beauty during this time of year always makes me yearn for lengthier seasons to enjoy the grandeur of spring renewal.

The Art Of Egg Painting

 

Happy Easter! 

I hope you all had a wonderful and celebratory day with family and friends, filled with marshmallow chicks, sweet treats, and eggs galore!

 

In honor of the festivities, I thought I'd share a remarkable video of the amazing egg painting traditions in rural Romania.

Hello Dear Friends!

 

I know its been some time since you've heard from me, but with the holiday season came shorter and busier days, more baked goods than my mixer or oven could count, memorable moments shared with good friends and family, and the enjoyment of much-needed reprieve from the monotony of daily life.

 

That being said, with the new year comes renewed zeal to share and begin from scratch, here at HMH! 

And what a wonderful time of year to get back into the swing of things...

Valentine's Day is upon us!
