The Kitchn

Today I am featured on Apartment Therapy's amazing food and cooking blog, The Kitchn! It is one of my favorite daily reads, so I was beside myself when Leela Cyd Ross invited me to participate in her wonderful Breakfast With a Blogger series. What a fun honor :)

Jump over there right now to see Leela's beautiful post about my recipe for old-fashioned buttermilk biscuits. Enjoy!

A Walk To 40 Weeks

Ryan from Pacing the Panic Room recently started documenting a friend's pregnancy in a series of terrific photos and I love the concept: each week, mama-to-be, Tricia, is being photographed as she strolls around the neighborhood. One week at a time, the photos are threaded together on Ryan's blog and viewers can navigate them with the help of a horizontal scroll bar. The effect is that we see gorgeous Tricia moving through space and time, complete with an ever-expanding bump. Genius! Check it out, here.

And if you haven't already seen it, be sure to go back and enjoy the wonderful series of photos Ryan took of his wife, Cole, during her recent pregnancy.

Whole-Tree Architecture

Look at the amazing living spaces created by architect Roald Gundersen! The forester-architect creates homes using carefully selected and prepared whole trees. The effect is unusual and quite beautiful. Read more about Gundersen, his family, and these amazing structures, here.

Think deep thoughts, like this one: "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~Howard Thurman
