Little Miracles

I spent mothers day visiting my sister Julies tree in Bensenville where we grew up. It was a beautiful California day here in Chicago. My daughter and I put purple tulips, my sister's fav flower at the foot of the tree. We hung out and had a picnic with my family. This beautiful butterfly came and stayed the whole time. This butterfly just sat on the blanket next to us, it was amazing. Most butterflies fly away when you move but this butterfly just sat with us. I believe it was sent by my sister to let us know she was with us. Little miracles.

Julie's Recipe

The best part of my sister Julie's mashed potato recipe was her. The time we spent in her kitchen with our daughters every holiday, birthday etc.. Peeling potatoes, talking, laughing, it was the bond between sisters and daughters our daughters growing up as we grew older.
Idaho potatoes, milk, butter, sour cream, salt & pepper. I don't know what she did.. but they were always perfect.
