Baking Persian Cookies
Since 2013, my mom and I have baked traditional Persian cookies using recipes passed down from my grandmother and great-aunts. From Nowruz celebrations to special events, baking together has become one of our favorite traditions. This year, we’re taking it on an even bigger scale for a wedding!
Sewing
In 2020, I learned to sew from my mom, continuing a skill passed down through generations of women in our family. What began as a way to spend time together has grown into designing and creating pieces that are completely our own.
Floral Arrangements
A trip to Trader Joe’s to find their new selection of flowers, mix and matching seasonal blooms, and coming home to make a vase arrangement or a bouquet for someone I love is my favorite little form of meditation.
