Last night I made bedtime cookies.  These are the boys' favorite!  

It's my Grandma's recipe (my Dad's mother) and they are so good!  Click here for recipe.

My joke is because they contain two brown eggs and organic chips

that they make a proper breakfast.  haha

But truthfully we will enjoy them this morning with our breakfast.

Thank you for visiting!

Mer Sea's Boheme

It hasn't been long ago that we launched Mer Sea.  See here.  

We quickly fell in love with their products and their Boheme fragrance.  

Yesterday we re-stocked the items sold out and added five new products 

to our line that we think you are going to fall in love with too.

Above: Chaomile Bubble Bath $38

French Soap Dish $16

While we are talking all things French and blue,  blue on blue from La Vie Parisienne 

seems to be my go-to lately.  I love layering our signature ice blue bracelet 

with the other blues from their collection.

I am drawn to a French blue and soon it will be the color of our front door.

We have another painting project happening today at the house.

Stay tuned and thank you for visiting!

Ted Baker

Let's do the twist!

Introducing our Ted Baker twist pens.  Set of three. $42

Featured with a Sugar Paper planner.

I find it's important to surround myself daily with positivity.

Positive mindset is key.

Here's our message for the week.

Be Scared.  Do it anyway.

I love this one because I'm a creature of habit.

Sometimes I turn things down because it is out of my comfort zone.

But that's where growth happens.

So here's to a week to trying new things.

Pushing the boat out.

Being ok to fail.

Being ok to not be the best.

All in the spirit of growth.

Happy Monday!

Little reminders on Ted Baker post-it's.

Post-it set can be seen here.

Entertaining

Last night I decided to give the Instant Pot the night off and made Italian Sausage Lasagna.

See recipe below.  This is a recipe I have made for years, but recently adapted it

by adding the Italian Sausage.

This morning I washed all the linens because I like to keep our table set.

I have loved how these Sugar Paper cloth napkins wash up time and time again.

I use detergent and softener that are free from fragrance, 

but Lydia Elise Millen has been chatting up how her laundry always smells so good.  

I went in search for a U.S. comparable and I love this!  

It adds just a hint of citrus and makes your washer smell fresh and clean.  

They are dry flakes and you don't need a lot.

Italian Sausage Lasagna

Ingredients:

Italian Sausage

Lasagne Noodles (uncooked)

Cheese (I use two different kinds, but not necessary)

Sauce (I use this one and recommend it for this recipe) 3 jars

Cottage Cheese

Bake Time:

Large casserole 1 hour at 350 degrees

Directions:

Sauce (incorporate sausage into sauce)
(first layer is sauce and then follow below)

Noodles (uncooked)
Sauce

Cheese

Cottage Cheese

Repeat 5 times

(note: last layer forego the cottage cheese)

When I pull it out of the oven I add more cheese and let sit 10 minutes.  

It's so good!

Thanks for visiting!  Happy entertaining!
