When Amin and I first got married we where fresh out of college and broke as broke could get. Being on a shoestring budget was good though because I learned very quickly how to make choices for the holidays that were cheap, and yet still brought the holiday magic to our home. While that was 13 years ago and we are no longer haunted by school debt, I still like to watch what I spend on holiday decor and get creative instead of just going out and buying things. May these tips inspire you and help you to still have that holiday spirit despite these weird times.

I drew a fall leaf! I am learning that the white crayon or pencil that comes in art sets is for blending. That didn’t work so well@in this picture so I had to find the in between of colors and blend that way.

I got a new sketchbook and FINALLY got a second to do a nice sketch of a Fly Agaric, which is a poisonous mushroom.

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

My cat Moto is a rather positive animal. I feel like I can be really stressed and I’ll look over and he’s reminding me in his own little way to take time to be in the sun and just take in the moment.

Wow I missed posting this yesterday! So I wrote this a year ago not knowing that we would be experiencing a global pandemic! Cold and flu season normally arrive this time of the year but it’s certainly much more complicated this year. Still, if you’re looking for a soup you can make ahead a freeze for those extra chilly days or when you have something small like an actual cold or flu, this soup will help.

Until recently I didn’t know Black Opal existed.

Until recently I didn’t know Black Opal existed. Then when I read about it it sounded a bit dangerous. It amplifies what you’re feeling and for someone like me who had a lot of anxiety I was really worried to even try meditating with this crystal. I’m also pretty skeptical about crystals in general BUT this is the first crystal I’ve worked with that actually seemed to do something. I realized that when I meditated on the feelings I wanted, it was easier to access them throughout the day....it’s weird...maybe it’s a brain training thing, I’m not sure but this black opal palm stone is my new favorite thing to carry around and it seems to remind me despite its scary description to go after what I want.

These shrunken apple heads are not only cheap to get and easy to make, but because they are dried they last for a really long time! If you don’t have room or cash for a pumpkin this year, you might enjoy making these instead. In my opinion, once you add eyes and teeth they have a LOT more personality! You can’t tell how these are going to dry either, so each one is totally unique!

Some pictures from my Birthday on Friday. Amin and I decided to go and check out the autumn leaves at the Minuteman Park (which is different than the bike way). It was the perfect weather for it too! I also got my first pumpkin spiced latte of the season. After a nice hot bath we got Thai for dinner and finished off the day with my favorite cake! A nice welcome to being 36!

I got lucky with this shot for #catterday!

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!! So today’s Foodie Friday

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!! So today’s Foodie Friday post is extra special! It comes from a recipe book my husband got me called the French Laundry. The French laundry is a Michelin star restaurant that has some really elegant high end foods.

I’ve been wanting to make this recipe so badly and when all was said and done it was absolutely amazing (even if I did forget the prosciutto). My husband loved the “Sage Chips” and I have to say they really balanced the richness of the filling. So from my home to yours here’s my gift to you!
