  • I received The Farmette cookbook for Christmas and it is just lovely.  Beautiful photographs and easy but different recipes.  The author has a blog about her experience living in Ireland on a dairy farm
  • Why New Year's resolutions don't work.  I have to say I think the author has a valid point.  My New Year's resolution every year is to lose weight.  Very vague.  This year I decided I would clean up my eating for a month.  After the month was over (and I was 15 lbs. lighter) I just kept at it and so far have lost 50 lbs.   Short term goals are much easier to achieve and can act as an incentive for longer term results
  • Aren't these the prettiest marble coasters?
  • I love to start the new year with a sparkly clean house.  It's my end of year ritual to spend the days leading up to New Year's day by scrubbing everything to within an inch of its life.  I think I might need to attend maid school to up my game (doesn't The Starkey International Institute for Household Management sound like a book by Lemony Snicket?)

Is anyone else feeling relieved that the rush and bustle of Christmas is over?  We had a lovely quiet evening with my mother in law on Christmas Eve and then spent a boisterous Christmas day at my dad's.  But now that it is over I am happy to put away all my Christmas decorations and do the aforementioned cleaning.  Then I'll light a fresh scented candle and welcome the new year.  

Happy Friday everyone!

Instagram post 2340488496363792013_13069943 I ran out of day (and daylight) to take a real photo so you get a pithy saying instead.  Happy weekend! You are all dear to me. Just thought you should know that.
