This is one wall in my kitchen. It is symbolic to me because it has a mix of everything. There are three different shelves with food on them, cook book shelves, food culture books, arts and craft stuff everywhere, and in some of the white baskets I have various gluten free flours. The organization of staple foods for us keep me sane. Is my jar of nutritional food yeast is 1/2 full or 1/2 empty?
This represents my life.
Kids and cooking. How to blend them all? Mix them all around. Dinner time will always be busy, and meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking will always be mixed around our schedule and children's activities.
I like my wall. I think it looks very pretty. I have my Grandmother's tea cups displayed on some of the shelves. The kids like to drink out of them when they are sick. I have candles that we sometimes put on the table, and the kids take turns blowing them out. (They came in handy a couple nights ago when we lost our power.)

What is your favorite space in the house?
I love this photo and how wonderful Grandmother's seem to always have a place in sacred spaces. We recently rearranged furniture to accomodate a bigger T.V. monitor and an antique desk. The desk now sits in a place that was wasted space. Both the space and the desk seem happy to have found each other. I do not work there, but sit at our kitchen table, and consider this new space. I am not proud of the larger T.V. but my eyes do not work as well as they once did, so family movie or LHOP ( Little House on the Prairie) time is not a strain. I still have not answered your question about my favourite space, but enjoy thinking about it. Perhaps I need more things around that belonged to my Grandmother.
