It’s the week before Christmas, and I won’t keep you long. I feel quite organized, but also as if there aren’t enough hours in the day for what I want (need/would like) to do. Maybe you feel the same way? I actually think we should plan special things more often, but on a smaller scale, instead of saving it all up for one day. Christmas often feels to me like a wedding; you plan for months, obsessing over every careful detail, when all people remember is that it rained, they had fun, and you had lipstick on your teeth. It’s about memories, not perfection.
Anyway, this blog is brief, with just a few of my favorite things that I wanted to share in the middle of the joy, peace and panic of the Holidays. Just because…..
My favorite dessert ever. A Pavlova looks impressive, but is sooooo easy. Promise. Filled with fresh whipped cream and lots of fruit, it feeds a crowd of people. (Click for Recipe).
One of my favorite quotes.
This is one my favorite things, because the seriousness of having a Falconry Companion Kit just makes me laugh. (from Neiman Marcus in case you needed it ).
No-one can be un-cheered if they blow bubbles! And, did you know that if you blow bubbles outside, and it is 32 degrees or less, they will freeze?
