Weekly Update

I have no idea what I really did this week. I DO know what I’ve been doing the last 3 days–enjoying the forced slow of an ice storm! We hunkered down, gathered flash lights, candles, blankets and portable device chargers, made sure we downloaded lots of Netflix, and waiting for the storm. It came, but not intense enough to knock out the power. We had a great time being together, making lots of comfort food, wearing comfy clothes and fuzzy socks and just chillin.

Today the sun is out. I grabbed my camera and headed outside for some photos as everything was covered in glassy ice. It was beautiful.

Now I’m playing catch-up, answering emails that I put off for 3 days and singing to Chicago Spotify (totally aging myself) as I try not to procrastinate on this Anti-Procrastination post. Enjoy!

Weekly Update

Books, books and more books. I can’t get enough lately. Back-to-school gives way to a hint of fall and I find myself buying candles named Marshmallow Fireside, curling up with a fuzzy blanket and books…lots of books.

I’m on the last chapter of  Love Warrior and just bought it 3 days ago. I need to chew on it, but I feel it has changed me. I have 3 cookbooks from the library with post-it notes curling out from the edge marking the recipes I want to make, 2 of which I share below from The Naked Cookbook by Tess Ward. I want this cookbook to be mine. I’m so drawn to the minimalist cover, exposed spine, beautiful photography and stripped-down- to- goodness recipes. I plan on making her Flax & Pumpkin Seed Gluten Free Bread & Turmeric Milk, both recipes are linked below.
