Yellow

I lost my grandmother last week. She was, is, and forever will be one of the greatest loves of my life.

One of my favorite memories of my Lola Letty was a conversation that took place in STC when I was in grade 2 or 3 after either Recognition Day or claiming of report cards. We were walking along the grade 2 corridor and we were talking about our favorite color. When I told her my favorite color was yellow, she said we share the same favorite. I was surprised at her choice because she often wore somber colors, so I asked her why, and she said it’s because yellow is the color of optimism. I never forgot the word and its meaning after that conversation. And I never changed my favorite color.

Mom’s Basket Lactation Cookies

My friend makes these wonderful lactation cookies that help breastfeeding mothers produce more milk. She sent me some over yesterday, and when I took a bite off one, I died and went straight to cookie heaven. They are sooooo sooooo sooooo good.

The cookies are not limited to breastfeeding moms. My son enjoyed his cookie yesterday, and my husband, who is a professional chef, declared they were sublime.

For super delicious cookies, visit her Facebook page, Mom’s Basket. I promise, you won’t regret it.

Mango Shakes

Our mangoes were getting overripe so I made mango shakes yesterday. The oranges were the only ones left in our fruit basket.🙂
