My week, although I had Monday off, seemed long. Apparently getting back into the swing of things after the holidays is rough-- even if you work between Christmas and New Years.
But a few good things kept me going this week..
1. I'm a total book nerd and I'm one of those people who will get caught up in a book and read until midnight. The Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers is one of those books. (I also joined goodreads.com-- find me there!)
2. a bridal shower sunday with dear friends and lots of food.
3. eating healthy and cooking brussel sprouts for the first time! I'm on a major veggie kick right now and made kale pesto and a kale smoothie. nom.
4. chill evening at home with the puppy, trashy tv (The Bachelor) and wearing sweatpants.
5. finding lefse at the grocery store! I'm one-quarter Norwegian and I grew up eating lefse for breakfast. It's a flat bread made of potatoes and I love it rolled it with with butter, sugar and cinnamon.
1. this cracks me up. I'm not sure what that says about me, but I think it's hilarious. (warning- you need your volume up for this one)
2. this blog post about seattle is brilliant.
3. the beauty of slower (and steady) business growth by acute designs
4. glitter shoe diy on a beautiful mess. swoon.
5. the kale pesto i made-- highly recommend it!
what was good in your week?

ReplyDeleteoh girl, will you eat my veggies for me??! Not a veggie lover over here. Though I do enough smoothies and sneak in spinach-- I'm kind of like a 5 year old in that way. ;) thanks for linking up with me, Erika!!
