Looking around my little blog and it appears I took the summer off!

Thankfully, there is no boss I should report to here on my tiny blog. In addition, I often wonder who would even want to read my silly little blog. Although, sometimes when I come back here to visit it seems a little lonely and neglected. Also, I have found sometimes writing here is like keeping a journal and it gives a nice account of what was going on in my life at a specific place in time. I like that.

I do have something to share – Recently, at a summer birthday party I had a sangria that was to die for! If you like watermelon, strawberries, a cold rose and vodka – I promise you will love this sangria! What I loved about this recipe was I only used the above ingredients rather than the whole recipe. It will definitely be something I make and enjoy again!

I love the holidays. The happiness. The cheer. The weather.

I have myself wrapped up in a bunch of projects and I’m having a blast! Hoping I can write a blog showing all my completed projects. Here’s what I’ve been getting myself into…

I found all this ideas on Pinterest – hence the name Happy Holidays Pinspiration! Each image above clicks directly to the site from where I’m drawing my directions, just in case you are interested in any of these projects too! For more ideas I have my eye on for the holidays you can check out the most recent pins on my Pinterest Page!

The ribbon on my tree is done, I’m waiting for the glue on my branches to dry and I’m off to start the dough for the challah bread!

Happy Holidays!

My Monday Motivation comes from a Pinspiration!

For dinner tonight I am making Chicken Zucchini and a recipe I found on Pinterest quite a while ago, Creamy Parmesan Rice. I am finally summoning up the courage to try this rice. I got the Chicken Zucchini from All Recipes and the rice from South Your Mouth. You can check with her to see how it is supposed to be done here and then you can check back with me later this week and see what happened when I tried it.

I’m not the best cook. Something bad always happens especially when it comes to white rice. I’ll be back to blog about it at the end of the week.

Wish me luck!

My Tuesday… Monday Motivation

Yesterday was the Labor Day Holiday and it felt like Sunday. So today is my Monday.

Over the weekend I made a decision to come back here and try to get back in the swing of blogging. I even found this smoothie I wanted to try then share with you on this here blog, but wouldn’t you know it… This morning as my lovely husband was leaving he quietly kissed me and said, “Bye, my love. We have no hot water.”

Thank you Tuesday.

But guess what, I didn’t get discouraged. I made it anyway. Even though I had to deal with finding a plumber, having the plumber come over and play musical rooms with the dog I still took pictures of my process and forged ahead. Even better… It was pretty yummy and it made me feel like I took my day back!

Kale Blueberry 8

Can you believe this thing has oatmeal in it?

I’m posting the recipe this Friday.

[Hoping this will hold me accountable and bring me back to blogging]
