What's Yours?

Morning rituals. Everyone has them. I've been thinking about mine and how the only thing that really stays consistant in my mornings is getting out of bed and making coffee. Other than that- I can be all over the place. Sometimes I do dishes in the morning... sometimes I shower right when I get up- sometimes I not until right before dinner... sometimes I go right to my computer, sometimes I stay in bed and read. I'm all over the place and I think deep down I like it that way. It's part of the reason I love  being a graphic designer. I'm never working on the same thing- there's always something new happening.


So these past few days I've been taking photos of something going on in my morning. Yesterday I made some awesome breakfast sandwiches for my husband and I. (That's a first!) And everyday I make coffee. Everyday. Unless I wake up later than usual and am totally running late-  but then I just make it later on in the day :)

So what do you do in the mornings? Any weird routine? Are you consistant? Inconsistant? I'm just curious :) It's fun to hear the little things about how people live their individual lives, don't you think?

Spinach & PB Smoothie

I'm trying to eat healthier (kind of) these days, and I just came across this lovely blog which is focused on breakfast foods. I'm not too sure about spinach and peanut butter, but I really am curious! It seems simple enough to make, which I'm all for!



Here are the simple instructions from Marta:

You will need:

• 2 handfuls of fresh spinach
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 tbsp of peanut butter
• soy milk

Put everything into a blender, mix properly and enjoy the taste :)

Looks easy peasy!

You can find the post and original recipe here. I'll make it and let you know how it is :)

Simple mornings sipping coffee, eating cereal and chatting with my best friend.
These are times I am so thankful for.
It's the little things we have to embrace in this world.

So Hard to Get Up

Today I woke up to the rain outside and it made me extra sleepy.

I really just wanted to stay in bed for a few more hours...



Then I remember that coffee and breakfast is my favorite in the rain.

It helped me get up.

Maybe this weekend you'll get some sleep in time- maybe I will too?  :)



In case you missed it, there were some fun posts happening here
this week- roasted pumpkin seeds, knit scarfs and buns, and stuffed french toast with Rachel Oberg.

Have a great weekend friends!!

Coffee in the Morning

The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is head to our coffee maker.
Everything just seems better when you can sip coffee through it.

I'm not one of those super skinny girls who says coffee is her favorite meal because
she doesn't eat anything. Oh no, I love to eat. (If you haven't noticed from all my
baking posts) but I can say that in the morning, coffee really is my favorite meal.
Sometimes I'll have toast to go with it. Sometimes eggs. But coffee is always in the mix.



Are you a coffee drinker? I've tried to get into tea but it just doesn't work for me.

Anyways, check out some more of our wedding photos over on Angel Court's blog today.
I did a little guest post for them because Courtney is out traveling around London. (Super jealous)

Have a great morning friends, I'm going to go sip my coffee. bliss.

Mondays Lovedays

Most people hate them. And I can see why. But Mondays for me are always great. Especially in the morning. Monday is Nolan's day off so we sleep in, make breakfast together, and drink coffee.
Its a great time for us to catch up and slow down for a minute.

So yes, I have a case of the Mondays and it is awesome.

Ok, this is the coolest thing! so how many times have you tried
