Around the house...

There is so much to do but I'm sitting here, watching Project Runway on dvr and on my second cup of Caramel Macchiato. There are certainly these kind of days, when I just want to sit all day and do nothing. But of course, time is precious and I can't make things wait. So I have to get up soon and start moving.

As I was sitting on my suzani clad sofa which I love by the way and I think is solely to blame for me lazing around too much, a lot of things around me caught my eye. For some reason, I am happy that the house is not as neat as those houses you see in the pages of magazines or design blogs. I'm happy that there are toys laying around, I'm happy that I always seem to pick up the wrong coffee cup and ends up using my Mr's.
All these, I am grateful for and more.

I love this new old bag. Only 98cents.Really.

Caramel Macchiato. Cup from Anthropologie for $6.99

Woodland folder I got from Target last night. The texture is amazing! $1.99

Dancing Muno from my son's birthday cake. $10 for the whole YGG set, totally ridiculous but his happiness, priceless.

Life is good.

Gifting mood

Last night, my kids and I baked some sugar cookies and blueberry muffins. We put them in little baggies I got from Target a few years ago. I made bow cards and put dice earrings on, I also included my blog's business card just in case they get bored during the Christmas break :)


We wrapped the cookies/muffins in parchment paper and tied silver tinsel string around it.






They enjoyed writing little notes for their friends.

Then I got so tired and forgot the second batch of sugar cookies in the oven.I remembered it after one hour, before we went to bed! That was scary! but I'm just thankful that I smelled it before completely forgetting about it.

Have a happy Christmas everyone!
