Virginia Honey and the Winner

it's a sad, sad, day here, our gallon of virginia honey is gone :( typically i would hopping in the car headed to the berry farm to buy more.

i use honey in my coffee and in lots of other things...
i like to buy it local b/c it helps with allergies (or so i hear!)

you all had some wonderful guesses yesterday as to when my habitual coffee drinking began, but Miss Paula was the only one to guess "after Katie was born." Paula please inbox me your favorite coffee and you will be receiving a package ASAP.

It was actually August 28th, approx 8am. I had spent the day before laboring for 14 hours. We had been awake admiring our beautiful bundle til after 12. had a feeding at 2 that went to pot, feeding at 4, that lasted til 5, then a feeding at 7 that lasted til 8. 8 o'clock came around i was SUPER, SUPER hungry and super, super tired. i ordered coffee with breakfast and as it entered the room the aroma filled my nostrils and "ah....relief!"

the next few months the lightning bolt of sleep deprivation struck.. but morning time always spelled relief. babies tend to be happiest in the morning... and so does mom. i would sip coffee and stare at this creature in my arms.. AMAZING.

happy weekend!
hope yours is filled with as little pre-halloween drama as possible :)
