Itchin’ To Show You My Kitchen

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared a new installment in the Maple Hollow Cottage blog posts! This...

Today I did one of those story templates where you share 5 facts about yourself and one thing I wrote was that I spent a summer in South Africa working at a center for refugees. I didn’t know so many people would show an interest in that and so I shared a portion of what that experience was like in my stories. Anyone that knows me has heard me drone on and on about my time spent in Africa (South Africa & Malawi) or about my years of research on African studies (I’ve been researching blood diamonds and rebel movements since 2012) but I realize I never share this stuff about me on my blog which is a shame. As much as I love pretty things, my love for the world and the people in it supersedes anything else and I should talk about that more often so I’m going to start. I’m happy to answer any questions you might have about this stuff! Just drop a comment!

‘Tis the season to be thankful. Last night we hosted a wine tasting dinner complete with six courses paired with six wines plus dessert and champagne. Everyone guessed what wines they were drinking and the winner left with a gift! But the best gift of all was the attitude of servanthood and giving because the real purpose of the dinner last night was to collect donations for a shelter for victims of domestic violence and their children. Without saying why, I will say that this center is very important to me and my husband. Last night as our friends arrived and I watched bag upon bag and box upon box of donations being unloaded and heaped into our house...I was just speechless. Yes, the dinner was superb. But the people who surrounded our table and their hearts....way better, y’all.

What do you do during the holidays to give back?

Undecided on if I like the Wall Art better or the fact that the ground says “spaghetti” - hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend!

New #blogpost is up! I’m doing something a little different on Down in the Hollow and talking about things that make us truly unique. Sometimes we get so stuck in our elevator pitch of who we are and define ourselves by career, marital status, kids, etc. But what about the things that make you...well, YOU? I listed 10 unique things about me in my new post and I want to hear things about you! Head to the link in my bio to check it out!
