No Place Like Gnome. Runner-Up in The Ritual of Winter Challenge.
Winter is coffee, tea, soups, and toast. Toast drenched in butter, swept to the edges and seeping into the heart of each slice. Flannel sheets. Soothing body butters anointing legs that will become parsnip pare under leggings and sweats.

Measurement. Runner-Up in The Forgotten Room Challenge.
Each New Year's Day Mom would line up up against the pantry doorjamb and mark our height. She'd start with whichever child was youngest that year; as the oldest child it was my job to suspend fiddly babies upright (little toes jussst touching the tiles) so that Mom could make a deeply-etched pen mark into the painted wood signifying the top of their baby-scented fontanelle.
