// Breakfast Beginnings: Whole Fruit with Yogurt (Part II)

Because there will be days when we will have to be up and out the door earlier than usual, and also in praise of a meatless Monday or meatless day, giving our bodies a little animal meat reprieve each week. We want something quick and delicious, and filling, and also healthy, to replenish and keep our energy levels up... and most likely in that order too. A simple one we can make overnight sounds even more luxurious. This month, with embracing the new year, new foods, and new blends, I switched my yogurt game for one that has less sugar, less fat, and more protein per serving with...

// WHAT Women Create & More...

More magazines! And so much to love about them -- the flush of colours, designs, and learning about new creatives and what they love doing behind-the-scenes, and in their small scale or larger business. I discovered this new-to-me mag recently (while in the checkout line, as usual), and was instantly inspired. Preview uploaded for some weekend surfing pleasure. Click within the cover image to see more... :) Happy Friday, and have a relaxing weekend. ~xx

 

// Garlic Butter Redfish

"Because, life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce."  - Vivian Komori

 

If ever stranded on an island (and we'll say a beautiful island of course, as that's always the ones in my dreams), I know I'd be able to find my balance with three things: 1) catching good quality fish from the sea, 2) an unlimited supply of fresh ice cream (make that chocolate ice cream for the win) from a tucked-away cave, close walking distance west on the island (don't ask me why west, but I think it's because that's where the wild things are), and 3)...

// Abigail Halpin: Finding Wild

'Swooning over this beautiful beautiful children's book: Finding Wild, by Megan Wagner Lloyd with colourful, nature bountiful illustrations by Abigail Halpin. Using bolder blues and greens with pops of sunshine garden colours, Abigail Halpin brings to blissful life, creative simplicity, quiet wildchild celebrations with Mother Nature, and the inspiring message of finding all things lovely as we immerse ourselves 'with the wild' far and near. A delightful read and keeper for both young children and grown-ups...

// Bye bye Winter, You've been Very Gracious. :)

{early edition spring bloom lily; she's a-coming}

Winter sure came (this side North), and even in our tropical Caribbean where many nights lighter blankets were layered on our beds, and usually fully open windows were half-way there or less to break most of the chill from our mountain breeze. We are indeed grateful with experiencing a healthy season, work we continue to enjoy that have also treated us well, and being able to catch up with family and close friends each week, in some way. Our sidewalks were always cleared, and shovelled walk paths created for easy access to board our trains and streetcars. It continues to take a caring hands-on village, and for that we have much to be thankful for... Wrapping up the last official weekend of winter with this lovely, and a few behind-the-scenes, after the jump... Thanks everybody, and have a soothing one. ~xx
