a sunny, snowy sunday snapshot + skims.

1 | i survived the weeklong work conference – it was a blast.  i’m not joking when i say i slept for 15 hours straight upon arriving home.  i’ve ate so much food since arriving home – the most RANDOM cravings too.  i’ve ate A&W, eggs benedict, custard and fruit, mr. noodles, smart food popcorn… random i tell you.  and now i’m thinking i need to make this – there’s something about a perfectly poached egg that makes my insides go weak, they’re just SO FREAKING GOOD!

2 | did any of you watch the superbowl?  even though i’m a fan of watching football, i still find the commercials to be the best part.  this article gives you the 10 best.  it makes me happy that the muppets are a thing again.  just saying.

3 | this is a fabulous talk with charles morrison.  i fall in and out of love with writing pretty frequently and it’s people like this who re-inspire that love – he also has a fabulous voice if i do say so myself.  have you written a letter to anyone this year?  if not – well then, get on it!!!  they’ll love it!

a caffeine filled sunday snapshot + skims.

1 | i’ll be attending a work conference this week.  one that i helped organize – so here’s hoping all that planning pans out.  i know i’ll be drinking many cups of coffee to get me through until friday.  how do you take your coffee?  i like mine strong!  the conference is to start at 7am each day – ugh – but after i read this article on what successful people do in the morning, i’m thinking i should start changing my sleeping habits.

2 | love this article by vicki hogarth – well… what do you think?  is montreal style sexier than toronto style?

3 | i know, i know – so many questions!  alright, fine.  here’s something to drool over.  ya!  i know, right!?!!

happy sunday – wherever you are!

cinnamon buns and shower thoughts.

cinnamon-buns

1 | i made cinnamon buns from scratch for the first time ever!  it was also the first time using my christmas present from mohawk – a gorgeous kitchenaid stand mixer.  i’m a lucky gal!  although i must say, when a former coworker asked me how it went, i promptly told her how my arms didn’t hurt because there was no kneading involved – on my part anyways, and my hands weren’t dirty and covered in floury goop – i feel like a fraud!!!  but you can’t really beat the efficiency it provides.  it’s really a magical piece of equipment.  i adapted smitten kitchen‘s breakfast bun recipe to make the batch pictured above.  classic cinnamon and sugar.

2 | who doesn’t love thinking in a hot shower?

happy sunday – wherever you are!

sunday snapshot – seconds before the storm.

toronto saw a wicked storm come rolling in a few days ago.  this is one of the only two photos i took before bolting off of the rooftop to safety from the wind and rain.  oh boy did it ever come fast!
