Crafts, gifts and a whole lot of love
Today I have a sparkly snowflake project that you can do with the kids and deck the halls while you are at it! These aren’t original to me, but I thought they would make a good project since the supplies needed are really easy to find and pretty inexpensive too. Also, the options are pretty much endless as far as potential designs so let your imagination run wild and see what you come up with.
I believe it is really important to find things that interest us outside of work and all the usual day-to-day stuff we slog through on our way to the weekend. Something that refuels our creative spirit, refreshes our outlook and gives us the energy to keep going. Self Care is the catchphrase being used of late for this concept, and yes, it is important so why not have a little fun while we are at it?
I really love the artisanal or rustic loaves with the crunchy tops and the flour-dusted bottoms. These loaves tend to be a bit more (ok a LOT more) dense than the Wonder White Bread you find in the grocery store, but they are SO good. Plus, they make for really tasty sandwiches along side a bowl of piping hot soup. YUM
I’ve been making these easy breakfast-in-a-bowl meals for a while now and still think they’re genius. Who likes a lot of fuss in the morning? Not me, that’s for darned sure. The only thing I really want to worry about when I get up in the morning is whether my favorite coffee mug is clean and there’s coffee ready. This working from home thing has its perks, but I’ve also lost some of my prior enthusiasm for getting up early and seizing the day. Heck there are days when the cup of coffee in my hands is the only thing keeping me moving toward my office chair. Enter the easiest hot breakfast you will ever make.
