My Favourite Pins This Week
This easy pasta dish is a great weeknight meal, and likely a welcome change of pace from the typical fare we eat this time of yer. I changed this recipe up a bit- skipped the capers and pine nuts, and added a bit of pesto instead. Was still incredibly delicious with all the other ingredients, and super easy!

If you have leftover mixed nuts from hosting holiday festivities, consider making these wonderfully nutty brownies- because now that we are all deep in our regular treat habits, might as well go for it and really enjoy ourselves! And if you love chocolate and nuts the way I do, you’ll b really happy you made these. Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe is right over here.
If you are looking for a festive cocktail to ring in the new year, look no further. This great roundup has 25 different champagne cocktails that are sure to have a recipe that is right up your alley. You don’t have to have flowers floating in them, but a little decorative touch definitely makes them feel extra special, for ringing in a new decade.

For grown ups or kids, these sparkly pipe cleaner crowns are a fun DIY. I’ve made some before – sparkly pipe cleaners are easy to find at a local dollar store- and they somehow feel really fun and festive. Pinterest link is here, and the full DIY is here.
This time of year, a lot of people like to just relax and wait until the new year comes along. It’s tempting as it is to hang out in pyjamas all day and lose track of which day of the week it is, but if you have anything you’d like to be doing, this is definitely the week to do it. You’re likely off work or work is lighter, and thinking about making any positive changes for the upcoming year is maybe on your mind. Moving towards some small habits that will help you achieve your goals- whether you are starting them now or in 2020- is sure to help set you up for success.

Is there anything you are working on this time between Christmas and New Years? I’m trying to get back to the gym (it’s been a while, ha), and making progress on my new Oxford Circus Sweater- it IS the perfect time for knitting! 🙂
