My Favourite Articles and Links This Week

For a laugh- How to get a Regency-era beach body.

Crazy talk- speculating on huge changes you could make with your family, without the commitment of actually making them. Sometimes just having the conversation can be perspective-altering, even if you never make the the change your are (crazily) talking about.

Three little words to overcome perfectionism.

Feeling like you could use a few more friends? Here’s a simple idea on how to rejuvenate a dormant friendship, rather than go out and meet new people.

Why self-compassion works better than self-esteem.

My Favourite Pins This Week

These super soft cream cheese chocolate chip cookie bars are to die for. If you have been craving a big ol’ soft chocolate chip cookie, but really thick, then you should make these. But invite other people over- otherwise you’ll be tempted to eat the whole pan yourself. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

I love easy dinners that come together quickly and are family friendly! This chicken Parmesan pasta skillet does just that- 6 ingredients, and you’re good to go. I add spinach to mine, though- I’m always looking to get more veggies. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

I loooove cinnamon. And this cinnamon roll smoothie tastes so good- perfect if you have a sweet tooth like me, and like your smoothies to be full of good-for-you ingredients but taste like a treat. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

This would be such a great gift idea- hand embroidered slippers with a meaningful constellation on them- like their Zodiac sign constellation. The slippers don’t have to be expensive, either- the ones in the DIY post are the $2 from Ikea. Pinterest link is here, and the original DIY is here.

This Aspen Mountain Bag knitting pattern is calling to me. The bulky texture, the simple design, and then some great leather handles…. plus for all you sewers out there a great opportunity to line it with some favourite fabric. Free pattern, too! Pinterest link is here, and the original post is here.

I’m still in England! Been spending a lot of time with family (Guy’s family all live here, and there’s been a lot of people to see!) But hoping to do some sightseeing soon. the weather has been pretty good though!
