It is so...I agree with Joanne about being present. It is something that I practice every day! While I don't bake bread (gluten free bread just isn't that good) I do make my own chicken stock. When fall rolls around every year, you will often see my stove heating up with the wonderfully warming smell of stock cooking. Just yesterday, my son came into the house with one of his friends and they were discussing that I make my own from scratch. I then heard my son say, "it just feels and smells like love in here" and it did. Every day we can look around and be amazed by the glorious miracles that surround us. Some of them are in our kitchen. :-)Stephanie LH Calahanhttp://www.calahansolutions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23060911.post-80267813668401530602012-10-12T19:54:13.255-05:002012-10-12T19:54:13.255-05:00It's funny, I love making bread, but I rarely ...It's funny, I love making bread, but I rarely ever make bread for toast or sandwiches. For me it's usually Italian bread or beer bread (SO easy!) or challah. Ironically, when I had a bread machine, I never used it. After I got rid of it when we moved the first time, I started baking bread. I never did replace it but I like doing all of it without the machine anyway.Kelly J Youngbloodhttp://www.kellyjyoungblood.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23060911.post-66354681691818356922012-10-12T19:52:30.170-05:002012-10-12T19:52:30.170-05:00Yeah super busyness is hard.

It is often the only time I really feel like I can just relax like that.Kelly J Youngbloodhttp://www.kellyjyoungblood.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23060911.post-32814196366378508662012-10-12T16:14:03.454-05:002012-10-12T16:14:03.454-05:00I, too, bake bread.

I find that when I am just present in my everyday activities that I can.Joanne Kaminskihttp://twitter.com/SkypeReadTutornoreply@blogger.com
