My Everyday Life Week 47

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 47

It’s been 5 years since my Mom died this week so I made her an altar at our table this year.

I have the cutest picture of her with her sister in my kitchen when I was little.

They’re working on Christmas dinner. They made all the holiday magic for us kids. I’m so grateful for that.

    5 years. My goodness. I remember you sharing the news. Love to you.

    I love that it is still Fall there. It’s my favorite season but here it lasts a week or so.

    • Tracy

      I’m surprised how long it lasted here! I guess it’s due to no storms and a lot less wind.

  • Erin

    Sitting under a redwood with coffee is beautiful. Your pictures always are. I also can’t believe it’s been five years. I think you do an amazing job remembering her and I get the feeling she is alive in this space and in everything you do. Keep it up.

  • Alicia A

    The best thing that we will always have is the memories of ones we have lost.

    I’m always smelling my grandmothers soap smell. (in the bathroom she had bars of Estee Lauders Blue Grass)
