Peaceful interlude under my pergola beside aspen trees this morning.
Does anyone else pair their cardboard bread (whole grains, protein, fiber, omegas, seeds) with sliced strawberries?
I know it’s more of a Dutch tradition each summer to enjoy fresh zomerkoninkjes (summer kings)! and it’s a fun substitute for jam.
With a strong cup of coffee in my Puerto Vallarta mug, this will fuel my morning.
A native of Southern California, Caroline Mertens moved to Colorado as a teen. She received her B.A. in English and Secondary Education from Colorado Christian University in Denver. Her grandmother's immigration tales of adventure, love, pain, and redemption provided ample amounts of hope, grace, and literary inspiration for her debut, In Those Other Lands.
After a season of work in the Netherlands, England, and France, Caroline returned to Colorado. Over the years, she has worked as a magazine editor, a professional writer, and an assistant to a Young Life director. However, Caroline's most fulfilling career is teaching high school English and Creative Writing. She strives to encourage teenagers to read what they love, and inspires her students to engage in purposeful creative writing. Caroline is passionate about traveling, cooking Indonesian food, and exploring Colorado with her family.
