My Favourite Articles and Links This Week

Ten things I learned in the last ten years, from Wit & Delight. All these lessons are dead on. Ignore the weird photo at the beginning, it has no bearing on the rest of the content.

I also loved Modern Mrs Darcy’s list of things she learned in 2019. Good tips abound!

As someone who loves online shopping, I found this article fascinating – the myth of free shipping.

This essay on Tom Hanks playing Mister Rogers is completely engrossing. I want to see this film so badly but I’m positive I’m going to sob through the whole thing and I have no idea why.

Thinking about making a big change in your life? Read this first.

My Favourite Pins This Week

I love a good sheet pan meal- so easy to prepare! This Moroccan style chicken dish is delicious and probably a great change of pace after the heavy meals of the holidays. This is bright and flavourful. Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe is over here.

If you are trying to ease yourself off the sugar- I’m almost done eating ALL the leftover christmas chocolate, so I will be trying to ramp down the sugar soon! These chocolate chip cloud cookies are a lighter, less-sugary way to ease yourself off the sugar highs and lows of the season. Plus, they are utterly delicious. If you like meringues, then these will be right up our alley. Pinterest link is here, and the recipe is here.

This crochet personal pouch is a brilliant idea- perfect for squirrelling away headphones, little tissues, or tampons/pads. Simple, and a brilliant! Pinterest link is here, and you can find the free crochet pattern here.

If the new year has you itching to decorate your home but the holidays have left you feeling a little light in the wallet, Apartment Therapy has a great round up of ideas on how to redecorate with things you already own. Very clever! Pinterest link is here, and the full post is right over here.

I love this quote from Anthony Hopkins, and I think we could all use the reminder now and then. Pinterest link is here, there are a million of these floating around the internet, but the source of the Pin is here.

Have a gorgeous weekend, everyone. I hope you get some fresh air, and are easing into the new year!
