// Have a Loving Family Day Weekend.~

{rustic-style homemade french fries; it started in a dream weeks ago...}

 

... where I was once again on a ship cruising the Atlantic with my last Grade 3 group. All my kids were enjoying fries: some had just one fry in hand, some two, others a few, and one or two an entire bucket. It made me laugh, but it also made me feel really good inside to see them sharing their golden goods and having a grand time with each other in casual style while taking in the majestic blue... #life #love #heartful Happy Valentine's(!) afternoon and/ or evening wherever you are in the world. Have a sweet one, and have a very loving long weekend. Happy Family Day to you and yours! More after the jump... ~xx

// Everything And The Kitchen Sink

{what could happen when you show up later than planned for family dinner; almost missed out on our sample slices; my sister Jan's dead-on perfect holiday fruit and rum cake; she nails it(!) every year}

 

It's been a hazy week all-round with commuting (our deeper freeze and its after-effects, and then some), and when having your own helicopter sounds like a very good idea for those roof touchdown moments. And since we are forced to go at a slower pace whether we're in the mood for it or not, we will yield to it like good people with another weekend of light reading, movies, naps, and things ready-made. 'Love it! Have a warm and fluffy weekend. A few trending signs of the times after the jump...  ~xx

// Have a Very Lovely Holiday! xx

We are officially pushing back from our blogosphere gate today and will be taking the next three weeks off from the site to enjoy the holidays and plentiful cozy catch-up time with family and close friends, keeping things light and mellow. It's been a full year...

// All The Warm And Fuzzy Feels

{afternoon cat-napping; Jasper in all his cozies on Xena's bed; thanks Xeens! :)}

Happy Friday! We have been elevated and I'm already saying it's the icing on the cake with Pantone's Color of the Year for 2019 announcement yesterday: PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral. The golden undertone within this colour delivers a softer, mellow edge to the coral's dominant vibrancy. All the feels, and we're very excited to step into our new colour with its positive energy, genuine warmth, and delight in little ways moving forward. I hope you had a good week, wherever you are in the world. As usual every other week or so, music from the work week with a few behind-the-scenes moments after the jump. Thanks everybody and have a lovely weekend.  ~xx

// Have a Playful Weekend. :)

{early tree trimmings; we had a good laugh with many of our holiday trees and lights already in sparkling motion; yep, well needed!}

 

Happy Thursday into Friday(!) and happy weekend. I hope you had a productive week and enjoyed it too in the process. Very important. :) This weekend we're looking forward to movie night with all the cozy, laid-back, and fun trimmings of home. Wishing the same to you and yours. Music and a few behind-the-scenes to go. Thanks everybody and have a lounge-ful one.  ~xx

// Have a Mellow Weekend.~

{my sister, Jan, made these delish surprize pumpkin-spice with pumpkin buttercream frosting party cupcakes; why she's the best baker in-house; got a snap of these leftovers which went seconds later; thanks J! ;)}

 

We've been living for the weekend-- not that we didn't enjoy our week, but you know, our weekend is a different kind of animal these days, and it already has feels of all.things.cozy. It's been a busy few days, but a good one, and I hope you had a steady one too. I never underestimate my weeks and weekends these days as it's become an exceptional thing in very recent months. A homemade salted chocolate with ganache dessert sounds like a great idea. Let our chocolate cravings begin. :) Music and a few behind-the-scenes to go after the jump. Thanks everybody and have a restful one. ~xx
