My Favourite Articles and Links This Week

Wish you could read more, but feel like you’re just too busy? How busy people make time to read, and how you can too. 

The dangers of being too hard on yourself. And it’s so hard to stop, isn’t it? We are gentle with our friends and family, but when it comes to ourselves, it’s a different story.

Part of that is, of course, trying to make things perfect. Let’s not wait for perfect.

If you are a Game of Thrones fan, then you are going to love this round up of allllll the Game of Thrones-themed knitting patterns.

Have cats? Love wine? Think your cats should love wine, too? Well, someone has finally created catnip-based ‘wine’, that is specifically for cats. Because you don’t want to drink alone, even if you are the only human in the house.

My Favourite Pins This Week

Healthy treats like these strawberry oatmeal bars are totally worth turning your oven on for! Strawberries are in season and these would be a great little treat to make. They are downright healthy if you leave off the sweetened topping, but I personally vote for the sweetened topping. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla Pie is another treat worth turning the oven on for this week- It’s all the tastiness of a quesadilla but baked in the oven with a tortilla crust. So cheesy and delicious! Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe is here.

This protein filled cinnamon roll smoothie is great breakfast that tastes amazing but you can drink while you are getting ready. Or while getting the kids ready. And while feeding the cats. And checking your email. So…. can you tell I’m a big fan of smoothies for breakfast? Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

Mollie Makes has a series of beautiful crochet flower tutorials, and they are stunning! Pinterest link is here, and the original tutorial post is here.

I love the simplicity of this white on white dimensional art- made with glue! So many fun things could be done this way- a family surname, an inspiring phrase, or even an image if you can draw reasonably well! Pinterest link is here, and the original DIY post is here.

I think we are going to go strawberry picking this weekend, our first time taking Lila! Hopefully it won’t end up like that time we tried apple picking.
