• I Hear Nothing

  The front door opened, and I heard footsteps coming into the kitchen. “Who’s here?” No answer. Not an opportunity for panic; we have grands that live close, and they often stop by and let themselves in. Inevitably, the one that doesn’t answer is Teagan.

• The Pause That Teas You Up

  In Sweden it’s referred to as “fika”. It’s so significant there that it’s actually protected by law. It’s a laid-back chat over coffee. A time to pause, refresh with friends, taking a break from routine. It’s not a grab-and-go where you phone your coffee order into your local barista, pay on your phone app, drive…
