Roots and wings

There are two gifts we should give our children: One is roots, and the other is wings.

Roots and Wings: It's been quite a week around here with lots of transition, change and even a maiden flight in my kitchen! If you follow along here on weekends, you know we dropped our oldest son Jonathan at Samford University in Birmingham last week. (And if you're new, I post recipes during the week and muse on the weekends.) A close friend there in Birmingham reminded me of this Roots and Wings quote I love by Hodding Carter: 'There are two gifts we should give our children: one is roots…

When I was in high school, we sang a song called "Roots and Wings" in choir. This print reminded me of the song. {Print it here} I love the message it relays: that those who have gone before us have made life possible. It's up to us to ensure that those who follow will be equally blessed to know who they are and who they can become.
