Friday prompt

Welcome to week two!  The response to last Friday's prompt was nothing short of spectacular.  I loved reading about all of the places that feel like home to you -- libraries, craft stores, beaches, and bowling alleys . . . faraway cities and the homes of close friends . . . forests and jungles and out in the country . . . tubs and cars and playing the tuba!  So many spaces and places to call home.  Best of all, you guys made me think about family and friends and good memories and I hope you experienced a little of that too. 

Today's prompt is slightly (hugely?) different than last week's in that it will not involve a giveaway.  Rest assured, though, that new pages will still be posted every Wednesday and that there are more giveaways to come.  In the meantime, since you're here already, I'd love to read about your go-to foods, the ones that you just can't manage without . . .


When I first wrote this, I was sure my answer would involve three varieties of sweets.  Sweets are definitely my go-to comfort foods.  But after some thought, I realized that they hadn't made the list in the way that I originally expected.  My answer is in the comments.  Join me there and add your top 3!

Happy Friday friends!

  1. My three food items are butter, eggs and tea.

    Tea is easy; I drink it daily and get a little jittery when I see that I'm nearing the last tea bag in the box.

    The butter and eggs have to do with homemade treats. When the urge to bake strikes, it must be satisfied immediately. If there isn't enough butter to make chocolate chip cookies or if there is only one egg on the fridge door when I need three for my sister's banana bread recipe . . . well . . . it's not pretty. We always have eggs and butter nearby.

  26. I could not live without Mexican food, cheese, and apples. Just found your wonderful site and love the journal pages! Those journal pages are the neatest thing since the invention of sliced bread! My 16 year old grand daughter is a writer so I sent her a link to your site. Can't wait to see what other pages you come up with. One for every day of the year?
