With a clean home and a simmering weekly soup, complete with warm biscuits and savoury crackers, we’re all set to begin a fresh set of days.  Our goal is to make everything ourselves.  Mustard has been checked off the list, and tortillas are next…  Baking is good for the senses.

Love, ~Amor Milagre

I use a special mix of herbs and spices that is simply delicious in most dishes, and I’ve dedicated an entire page to this subject in my upcoming cookbook.  These lovelies are included in our regular recipe section.

My recipes are short and sweet.  We keep a brief card for each one in a little book tin.  No need for pages and pages of fluff.  This helps us to focus and enjoy the baking and cooking.

P.S. My husband first made these during my pregnancy, which was severely difficult, and these helped a lot, as they were one of the few things I could eat.  Also, I wish we had known about papaya enzymes earlier.  They seemed to help a little.  Pineapple juice, cold shredded carrot salad…all of his favourites…just kidding, but he figured it out anyways.  It would have been less stressful for both of us if he had known how to cook more types of foods beforehand.  Luckily, engineers are good at following directions.  My intuitive ‘just some’ doesn’t work for him, so for my cookbook, I indicated the usual set amounts to use as a guide, while still encouraging a sense-feel style of cooking so that one can improvise easily and confidently with any available ingredients.

This is why I always write in helpful supporting book characters for my mothers-to-be, to inspire our world to do so.  I sincerely recommend that every person in the universe learns how to cook and bake as many healthy things as they can.  It’s not only enjoyable, but it helps everyone.  It’s a peaceful action.  For partners of pregnant mothers, it is not just loving, but it can save lives.  Plural.  Nutritional education is vital.  We learn about food every day, especially in our homeschool lessons, and eat mostly fresh organic  plants.

Today, I made these crackers even smaller…to fit on the soup spoon…and I like it!  They last longer this way, too.  The wavy pasta tool worked well, making crispy edges.  Customize the flavours to match your soup!

Babies grow so quickly…time for new clothing.  This evening, pleats are on the menu for a new little pinny overdress.  Custom clothing is special and fits well.  It is a joy to add little meaningful hearts and embroideries into our unique design.

Can’t forget pockets so that little dolls may easily explore garden blooms…

Amor Milagre’s Peaceful Homeschool

Amor Milagre Homeschool
Amor Milagre Homeschool

This week, we’re adding the finishing lines and photos to this year’s homeschool portfolio.  It is so very important, in this lazy digital age, to teach and learn naturally with your senses.  Natural lighting and healthy routines nurture us in our unplugged schoolroom.  Reading real pages, writing what you really think, and knowing how to think are vital skills.  They build up an empowering way of learning which needs to be preserved.  Every person has an entire world inside of them.  Every person needs the tools to navigate and translate their inner world to keep themselves safe on the outside.  Allowing tangible, and intangible, mediums of expression may heal a soul for a lifetime.  Draw, paint, sing, cook, act, sand, cut and paste, sculpt, play, write.  Allow learning to connect you to yourself.  What you like today may surprise you later on when reading of this connection in an old journal.  It’s all a part of you.  Take the time to try it out.  It’s an endless web, but not online.  We’re all connected through story patterns and emotional dips and plateaus.  Timeless lessons keep life interesting.  Designing your own education allows you to learn so much more without pressure or fluff.   Hydrate.  Take real care.  Sleep.  Eat fresh, healthy foods.  Breathe in fresh garden air.  Move as needed.  Explore freely.  One may connect it all together to shape the truth that no one can know everything.  And so, we learn more.  Do you ask questions?  Do you seek answers?  Do you ask yourself questions?  How can you find those answers?  By trying…keep trying.  There are no incorrect answers there…your own book may help someone else.

Thoughts are endless…allow them to help you heal the harm of our world.  Studying yourself is an ongoing portfolio.  Leave space in the back to grow and change.  Learn.  Love, ~ Amor Milagre

Book Illustration: A New Beginning

Amor Milagre Story Illustration Original Books and Art Self-Health Novelettes

When one book of characters packs up and travels to the printer’s, patient tales then perk up and peek at their faces and trees appearing on new deckled-edge papers on my desk, here in the library at Rose Cottage.

“That’s not what I look like!  I’m a brunette…and I would never wear that!  I’m from twenty years before that style,” they remind me.

“Ah, yes…right.  Sorry.  My hair colour has changed since we bumped into each other that day.”

So bossy, but…correct.  “I’ll look it up.”  They wear me out…

For many years now, I’ve been constantly scribbling down stories, day and night.  There are too many to release separately, so several volumes will release as quickly as I can compile them together in the shuffling groups as they were born.  It’s only fair…

Empowering, meandering stories, belonging to my endless Self-Health Novelette book series, will begin to release in the years nearest you now.

I love writing them, then painting them up…but typing?  No!  Anything but typing…so this will take a bit.

Not everyone will be displayed, as many of my characters are described in soulful adjectives, allowing the listener to imagine.  I sit and paint with music, my darling husband reading to us…

If I can snag him, he’ll narrate some of my novels and children’s books in future.  At least, I want his voice for roles that he inspired.  After I release the newly illustrated Leona’s Homecoming, I’ll rerecord those four first books.  Some of these watercolours will be available as fine art prints and stationery as well.  Oh, so many joys to enjoy!

Music of the Moment:  The flipping of new-old books from library sales and borrowings.
