Words of Wisdom - Week 7

“To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life.” 
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia


I am lucky to feel so balanced in my life :) 


I'm very very busy at work this week - working 11 hours days because I have group in till Friday.  It's nice to feel balanced.

Closet Dreams - Simple pieces in BRIGHT colors

I am loving winter however those dreams of adding to my spring wardrobe are starting! I am inspired these days by adding a bright coloured piece to a simple outfit.  

Think white or black with green, bright red or cobalt blue (drool!)

See my inspirations below..

I'm thinking a cobalt blue blazer.....

Whole Wheat Pita
*Sliced Red Cabbage
*Banana Peppers
*Thinly sliced cheddar cheese
*Thinly sliced white onion
*Cilantro
*Hummus Dip (Homemade Dip I made the other night which included Homemade Hummus, Peppers, Cucumber, Fresh Dill & Feta Cheese)


Yummy!

Words of Wisdom - Week 6

My new obsession is 'Pintrest'.....it is amazing! Such a good way to organize wedding ideas, recipes, home inspirations etc.  Found this quote on there :)

Day of Love

Yes yesterday was Valentines Day aka. Lovers Day as I like to call it.  Kevin and I however do not celebrate Lovers Day on the 14th we celebrate it on the 13th as that is the day that he proposed to me (last year).  I quite like this new tradition of spending February 13th just the two of us at home (much like other nights just with a little extra effort put into telling each other how special the other one is and putting on a little extra makeup :) ) I love an excuse to dress up!

I spent the day in the kitchen making these delicious Black Forest Cupcakes - they were a lot of work as there are many steps however they were worth every second!  I sent them to work with Kev for the boys the next day so I didn't have to eat them for the next week

How did everyone else celebrate Lovers Day? I would love to hear about it!

Words of Wisdom - Week 5

Oh boy another week has passed and I have been slacking on the bog posts.  I will try to be better this week


Might as well start the week off right with a a quote/photo about love.  One year ago today the man of my dreams got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to get to spend my life with my best friend and my true love.  Today I have the day off from work so I am making us a wonderful dinner and dessert to celebrate our day of LOVE! 

Love to you all! xo
