This is such a wonderful idea, I really hope it happens quickly- creating a sanctuary for overfished species in the pacific ocean.

Gardening for climate resistance.

The joy of rediscovering people’s homes.

How to clean your phone, computer, and every other screen you’ve got. Because let’s face it, they are all long overdue.

Easy weeknight pizza dinner recipe? Yes please. The recipe for the flatbread is included, but you could also cheat a bit and buy a flatbread from the grocery store, because no judgment here. The toppings- avocado, chicken bacon, and more- are a great way to use up leftovers kicking around the fridge and pantry, and it’s versatile enough that you can easily make substitutions. Find the recipe here.

 This is a VERY easy recipe for a wonderful caramel apple crumble, which feels just right for this time of year. Everything is just mixed with a spoon in a bowl, and baked. The sliced apples are tossed in a mixture that gives the crumble the caramel richness, and I think you’ll like it! The recipe can be found right here.

This Little Moons lace wrap would be a wonderful knitted gift, I think – for yourself or to give to another! It looks equally beautiful in a solid colour, or would be quite interesting in a variegated yarn, too. Find the free pattern on Purl Soho, here.

I am completely smitten with this DIY tassel tree – doesn’t it look so great?! It’s a quick project, and the tray/frame it is in would be great to paint white and reuse from either something you have around the house or possibly even from a second hand shop (or absolutely you could buy a frame too!). Find the full DIY right here.

This quote from Laura Ingalls Wilder feels especially true in this current on ramp to the busy season. It’s given me some pause for thought. I found it here. 

Have a great weekend everyone! The weather has turned cold here in Toronto, so I think it’s time to start up the hot chocolate. I hope that you have a cozy, happy weekend, and enjoy a treat or two.
