Podcasts:
Do you listen to podcasts? My daughter, Annie, introduced me to “At Home with Sally” by Sally Clarkson. I feel like I’ve been instantly transported from our rural Iowa countryside to Oxford, England, whenever I tune in. Sally is helping her daughter finish her schooling by caring for her granddaughter a few hours a week. She has taught me so much much about living as a godly woman, making my home a haven; great reads, tips for mothering and grand-mothering………..and so much more.
And….if you live in England, you stop every afternoon and have a cup of tea, relax, refresh and enjoy a little “me” time or “we” time, if possible. Listening to Sally’s free podcast while walking on the treadmill certainly makes the time fly. I also love to listen when I’m traveling. She really makes my day better.
Scones:
Sally’s daughter sweetly interrupted the podcast taping the other day by bringing a yummy scone to her mom. Of course Sally put on the tea kettle and I felt as though I was part of the tea party. So when I saw this recipe for scones, the ingredients came flying out of the cabinets and onto the counter. This recipe was easy and delicious—–and very moist!
I hope you get plugged into the podcast, At Home with Sally. You’ll not regret it for one second. I promise.
