The blossoms are in full bloom and gorgeous as usual! If you live here, you MUST go downtown and if you don’t, come visit!
My friend Lauren and her son Caed and I were out to enjoy the beautiful weather. Have you ever seen such incredible eyes on a little boy?!
After months and months of work and anticipation, my new website is finally “live”! If you haven’t seen it, please check out jan michele photography.
Let me know what you think!
Have you ever wondered what the difference was between a yam and a sweet potato?
The answer is – a lot! In fact, they aren’t even related. The sweet potato is in the Morning glory family and the yam is in, well, the yam family.
You can recognize a sweet potato by it’s smooth, thin skin and tapered ends. Yams are rough, scaly and some have “toes”. In taste, the sweet potato is more moist and sweet while the yam is dry and starchy. The sweet potato is known for being very high in beta carotene (Vitamin A, that’s what makes it orange) while the yam is not. This makes the sweet potato the clear favorite in my mind!
Sweet potatoes originated in Peru and Ecuador but are now grown in the US. Yams came from West Africa and Asia and are now imported from the Caribbean.
So, can you tell if this is a yam or a sweet potato?
I have been working on a new website for months now! And, even more exciting is that it’s almost finished. Yay! The new color of the blog is a hint of the changes to come! Stay tuned for the big announcement when it “goes live”!
Jacob is almost 3 weeks old and today he posed for his birth announcements. Isn’t he adorable! So small and so sweet. He’s the son of my good friends Lara and Chris. I enjoyed playing with Jacob with you today, Lara!
