Today I made chocolate salted caramel mini cupcakes. They are lovely. A little salty, but I guess that's the point - beings that they're salted caramel and all. (Originally, I was going to name this post: "I made caramel today." Because I am just that proud of the fact that I actually made homemade caramel. From sugar and water and syrup and cream. Amen. [I'll post pictures tomorrow].)
In the meantime, tonight I am directing you to The Nester for an incredible message she recently shared. I watched the video and I have to tell you - by the end of it I truly felt that I was on holy ground. "She don't know she's beautiful" amid life's everyday messes = God reminding each of us of His grace in the moment. I, for one, regularly feel like I am failing at this job of stay-at-home motherhood. That if I could just get my act together or my energy up or let them watch one more show I could clean my house.
Well. Not today. Today I made chocolate salted caramel mini cupcakes. And now I just have to find someone to help me eat them...
