Cozy Comforts

It feels like it's snowing across the entire United States right now. We rarely get snow but this year we've had a couple of inches. Tonight has a big puff of snow we haven't seen yet. When Portland gets snowy, sometimes it's icy, and sometimes it's too much snow for the city to handle so it basically shuts down. The city gets quiet and not so busy on the streets - much like it used to be about a decade ago. I enjoy the stillness and spending time at home, getting cozy. It's in these moments, I take time to be appreciative of a roof over our head, warm foods, heat, electricity and good company. I hope you all are staying warm and cozy wherever you are. 

Happy Wednesday ❤

2017 - The Year of The Rooster

Happy New Year! We've exited last years shenanigans of the year of the monkey and according to Chinese astrology, we have entered a time of being alert - there won't be an opportunity to be missed because Rooster will give you quick energy to stay attentive. Things will be happening quickly this year, if there are setbacks, you will move through them quickly. Roosters are a symbol of health and represent activeness. Loyalty and punctuality are also strong suits of the rooster. Be careful of energies (within yourself & outside) of being too pushy and stepping on others to make yourself feel better. Rooster energy begins on January 28th and ends on February 15th 2018.
Things will be happening quickly and in a big way so stay active to lower stress, keep organized and fasten your seat belt!

Warm Wishes

I just wanted to send everyone warm wishes for this holiday season! I will be taking a couple of weeks off from writing this blog but will resume again in the first week of 2017. If you want to check my instagram in the meantime, I will certainly be active there. I'm sure most of us in the northern hemisphere are already feeling the cold. Next Wednesday, December 21st, is the time we officially enter into the Winter Solstice. So cuddle up, drink and eat warm foods and enjoy this wintery time of year.

Happy Holidays & Happy Wednesday ❤

Hello December!

Welcome to December and now it's appropriate to show all my wintery, holidays things in my shop! We don't have any snow here yet but this makes me want to ice skate and have a hot chocolate afterwards. It's almost time to send out your annual holiday cards! This piece of art plus other holiday scenes can be found and purchased in the notecard section of my shop. Enjoy! And Seasons Greetings!

Happy Wednesday ❤

An Easy Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipe

Happy almost Thanksgiving! There's so much going on in the world that is constantly on our minds lately and there's so much to be appreciative of at this time as well. I wish for you an effortless Thanksgiving, a thoughtful Thanksgiving, a day filled with kind words and good food and comfort. For today, I'm keeping things easy and sharing a side dish recipe - mostly because side dishes don't get as much attention as the main dish or deserts! I put together all my favorites for a savory dish just for you. So enjoy and stay easy.

Happy Wednesday, Happy Thanksgiving 💞
