Mother's day
Recently, I was reflecting on how much love each person needs to really thrive, and it’s ALOT.
And also about how love is something that is both given, and received. It was pointed out to me by two different dear people that love is like infinity. The more you give, the more you receive, and vice versa.
This Sunday is Mother’s Day.
I have always seen this day as a joyful occasion to celebrate and recognize my mom for all the love she gives, and the sacrifices she made to bring me up safely.
I am not a mom, and I can only imagine the mountain of joys and sorrows that every mom must experience. That is not to be taken for granted. So thank you mom.
What will I do this weekend?
Why thanks for asking!
If today’s rainy, gloomy weather is any indication of what’s in store, I’ll be trying to stay warm (unpredictable spring days) and thanking my lucky stars that my husband helped me plant grass seed in the backyard yesterday.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been building frames to contain my garden beds and make it easier to tend and keep clean.
The dirt areas you see in the photo is what we planted yesterday. I had a lot of fun moving all that dirt around in preparation and smoothing it out with my rakes.
I think it will look nice once everything greens up. I’ll definitely share that with you.
I’ll also be working on a flurry of homework assignments for my Ayurveda course on diet and digestion.
And finally, I’ll be calling my lovely mom on Sunday to wish her a Happy Mother's Day and let her know how much I love her 🙂

Perfect for Mother's day
Mother’s Day is typically celebrated with brunch or breakfast together with friends and loved ones.
Recently, I made a really YUMMY banana pancake. It's filled with spices of cinnamon and nutmeg, sweet with the banana, and naturally rich with real buttermilk and egg.
See the recipe below, and you can make it on Sunday (or any day - haha).
Banana Pancake with Buttermilk
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (sub with whole wheat or spelt)
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients
- 1 banana, ripe
- 1 egg
- ½ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mash the banana well with a fork. Whisk in egg and buttermilk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a tiny pat of butter in a skillet until sizzling. Add about a third of a cup of batter to the skillet and cook until bubbles appear in the pancake and the bottom is golden brown. Turn the pancake and cook the other side until equally golden brown.

I love buttermilk pancakes and the addition of banana made them so much sweeter. They came out all golden and caramelized.
Also: Congrats to your new garden beds! I'm totally envious of them. 🙂
