Friday Five…

Standard

“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anyone but oneself.”
― Virginia Woolf

Here are a few of my little moments of being myself this week…

To “White Russian” with Love…

Standard

I’ve been busy skiing with friends in Michigan this weekend…and in-between hitting the slopes I rediscovered how delicious White Russian cocktails are!  While sipping away and gazing at the powdery snow outside I felt like I should be reading Tolstoy!

Now I know I shouldn’t be posting about a cocktail on a Monday…but I do have the day off so it still feels like the weekend!!  Perhaps if you don’t mix a drink tonight you could try one of these White Russian inspired treats!

Sweets for Your Sweet…

Standard

Remember passing out candy & treats along with your Valentines back in the day?  Instead of just a box of chocolates (although there is nothing wrong with that), why not make something sweet for those you love this weekend…

Here is a little inspiration:

{Chocolate Covered Pretzels}

{V-Day Rice Krispies}

{Conversation Heart Cookies}

 

…Yum, I think I’ll bake those cookies for my friends (who are my sweets this V-Day)!!

5 Nights Before Christmas…

Standard

“This is *Christmas*. The season of perpetual hope. And I don’t care if I have to get out on your runway and hitchhike. If it costs me everything I own, if I have to sell my soul to the devil himself, I am going to get home to my son.”

~Kate McCallister, Home Alone
