Weekend blur

rediscovered the love of reading bathroom stalls, home cooked meal, time with girls, time with boy, slushy drinks, new tricks, making plans, Breaking Bad, laughing too hard to bike, flavoured crackers, vegan nachos, burrito boys, not enough time to capture it all but boy oh boy it was fun.

ready for monday.xo.

Feeling Crafty

Bought pretty paper, got the sewing machine going, spray painted little hooks for my place, glue, new journal. Finally felt like being crafted again, just needed to make the time. I even sewed my first pillow (but I haven't stuffed it yet).  Just felt good to be making pretty things.

Have a wonderful day you pretty people. xo.

Morning world

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and my favourite. I start dreaming of what I'm going to eat the night before- I always wake up hungry, ready to start my day and craving my first cup'a joe. 


Last night coming home from teaching last night, dreaming of my breakfast, I stopped at the Lakeview General store and got some delicious button mushrooms (they are my favourite mushrooms ever) and some eggs. I already had waiting in my fridge veggie breakfast patties and whole wheat english muffins. 


 I was delighted to wake up this morning and create a easy breakfast, all in one pan. Little prep, barely any dishes, filling, healthy and deelish. If you say you don't have time in the morning, that's a lie! While this was sizzling I made a cup of coffee in my Keurig and toasted an english muffin. Total time; less than ten minutes.  

Wishing you a full day.xo

Tea with Emily

Well, actually coffee with Emily...but tea rhymed better :) 


Made some raspberry turnovers (not from scratch...cheat!) french press of coffee and set a little table. Easy and made Monday morning a little more special.

have a great week xo.

As I wonder...

Tote at Bicyclette...romantic.

I go to a coffee shop to go mad.

Choice

Someone asked me the other day if I hated anyone. Because I always seem so happy and pleased to meet people and friendly. The truth is of course, there are people I prefer not to be around so I don't put myself around them and therefore I can keep up my high energy and happy spirits. I think so many people surround themselves with friends that aren't really friends, fake people, mean people and for what? Because they think they have to? The truth is we don't have to. I don't have to. 


So I don't and I make a conscious choice to avoid situations that could make me uncomfortable, sad, or angry. And of course, I'm not some robot who is always happy, I experience jealousy, fear and anger as much as the next person...but I share that stuff with my closest friends and boyfriend- not any random crowd. If I am in a room with someone I don't agree with I stay away. I'm not rude, or overly nice, or superficial, I just ignore them. That way I save all my energy to have fun and enjoy the night rather than being that drunk girl crying in the bathroom (though we've all been there). 


My mom always said this great thing when I was growing up and she still reminds me now. Happiness is a choice. And it's not always the easiest choice but you are in control of how you interact with the world, so why not enjoy it. 


That is my little Monday blurb. Have a great week. xo

Or frolic in wheat fields and you'll feel happy :)
