Back to our ocean home, first for a visit with the cleaner wrasse, then to feel that healing power of hot sand over paws and a rushing cool wind in the hair. Alive. We bury treasure again. We let go. We explore shells and shops and teddy bear line ups. A wonderfully tiring day with our mer-clan.
New seafaring fine art photography prints will wash ashore within a few rain showers, including some special B&W oceanscapes.
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.
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!

Transitions are interesting times, but extra comforts help with any uneasiness while we navigate. On this cosy rainy day, we read and draw, bake and cook, paint up some pantry cabinets, and stretch…
We need these quiet moments…every day. Happy growing season, Love ~ Amor Milagre

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…

A beautiful mess of toys, new fabrics, and magic…in our cosy book nook. New tales are being typed up every evening, many of which include tailors and designers!
Amor Milagre: Storyteller, New Book Releases Soon!
Here are some stories that I wrote this spring…now to type them is a different story. I’m recording all of their titles so I can check them off! So many darlings…
One of our weekly projects is the Poetree! It is full of seasonal vocabulary words to inspire nature-loving poems and artwork. Paint an atmosphere with gorgeous words…
Ah….that feeling once the homeschool portfolio has been sent… Now, to continue our daily lessons! Year-round school makes much more sense, especially as curious minds are happiest when learning and using their beautiful senses.
June is just around the corner… Love to the Fireflies, ~Amor Milagre
