Ever Heard of Calico Beans?

Written By Susie Coiner

My hosting tip of the day is to find your signature dish! Once you discover something that everyone raves about- bring that to gatherings if you are asked to bring a dish. This can be something as easy as sliced veggies with Dip Sh*t for Vegetables! 🥕

 

I found this quote from Nicola Jane Hobbs the other day while I was reading one morning, and it really stuck with me, so I want to share it with you all:

“I do not want to be remembered as a woman who was always exhausted. I do not want to be remembered as a woman who was always stressed, always busy, always rushing, always holding herself together and pushing through. 

I would like to be remembered as a relaxed woman, a compassionate woman, a curious, joyful, pleasure-loving woman. A woman who works hard and rests deeply, who loves fiercely and lives peacefully. 

A woman who knows her worth and her power, who accepts her imperfections and her vulnerabilities, who embraces her limitations and her possibilities. 

A woman who laughs and cries and aches and loves and is enchanted by the mess and magic and mundaneness of this beautiful, shimmering life.”

- Nicola Jane Hobbs
