cinnamon and coffee

Mornings are not easy, right? (or is it just me?)
(If you ask me) Mondays can be pretty painful
but I've found a way (I think) to win my Monday morning battle...
it's a very easy formula:
morning walk & caffeine + sugar....
I know exactly what you are thinking...
well in my defence...I don't get to sit down until after the children have left
(I walk them to school and when I come back home I have my breakfast...)

It's a brilliant start...


this sugar and cinnamon pull-apart looks DIVINE, doesn't it?

Monday inspiration / boys club

anything masculine will do...(I'm in a bit of a masculine mood at the moment, perhaps it's the simplicity of the look or perhaps it's just the need to de-clutter...who knows...?)

What's in your attic? Dust and old boxes or...a hidden paradise?...I wonder...

Have a great Friday :)

Guess who's coming to dinner?

To me there is nothing more appealing than dinner with close friends...good company and great food seem to work wonders even on the most miserable of nights...
This room below just makes me want to cook up a storm, ring up all my friends and have a cozy dinner party...it's so rustic, unpretentious  and inviting...nothing could go wrong here, right?...

He he!

(I love the yellow chandelier!)

A lovely bowl of soup would definitely be on my menu tonight...it's still sooo cold outside

(actually even colder than yesterday!)

What's on your menu tonight?

Keep warm and cozy :)
