      It is a beautiful bowl. You will keep it? And use it?

      And so it goes, this existentialist learns a new word (or two.) Wabi-sabi: Thanks!

      ~ oh friend. this was one of the moments I got it right...there are so many, many moments when I don't...sending you a mama hug. xo
      thanks everyone. really, I'm mostly a mediocre mama, but I keep trying to give them the best of me. some moments I do, others, well...I just thank God they'll be able to have therapy sessions when they're adults! : ) hee, hee...
      yes, and yes! ~ I am so glad to have introduced you to one of my all time favorites kinds of beauty. the concept really speaks to my heart.

      A wonderful response to a moment when often we react in horror first. And I have to say, it really does make a great resting spot. You may have started a trend in the bowl industry. Think of it...no worries of poked eyes when they slurp. :-)

      A mediocre mama would not have blessed this potentially stressful situation with such beautiful loving kindness. You are amazing, and I LOVE the absolute beauty and simplicity of this image. Your photos are such a gift Angela, to all of us.

      You are such a good mom, i would have been crying on the floor, and then she would have got upset, which would have made me mad, but look at you, a built in spoon rest, You are amazing sweetie .
