Weekend View

Welcome to the weekend view. This week is a little of this and a little of that and a whole lot of randomness. Which kind of is how most weekend views are I suppose.

Napping in the Sun

Sweet Romeo hopped up on a chair and melted into the sun for a little nap. If you aren’t familiar with chickens- they are the funniest when they literally start ‘melting’ and laying down in the sun. They settle in on their side with their top wing and leg stretched out and close their eyes and soak up the warmth. It is always so cute. I will have to grab a video of them sometime to share here. Romeo isn’t quite as stretched out as usual, but you can see his little toes a bit so he was getting there.

Antique Apothecary Cabinet Update

I shared a first look at the antique apothecary cabinet I brought home recently and remember that bit of bright green spray paint that was on one door?

I did a bit of googling to see how to remove it without removing the underneath paint. One thing I saw to try was crumpled up aluminum foil that was wet. Between that and a little bit of Vicks Vaporub – will see how it all comes together. But also, if anyone has any tips or suggestions for how to take that off while leaving the paint that is underneath- I would love your tips!

Cozy Home

Anyone else feeling in full on cozy season? Even though our weather is pretty warm at the moment thankfully, in the house it is all about cozy even so. I am working on some cozy winter home posts with simple, easy and affordable ways to add a whole lot of cozy to your house right now.

Fresh Fruit on Repeat

Though I am following a low carb/ low sugar vegetarian way of eating- I have been enjoying a handful of some of my favorite low sugar fruits like raspberries. We discovered a vegan low(er) carb bread that is delicious toasted and with a little bit of peanut butter and crushed raspberries – it is so good. I am able to fit it into my overall macros and calories for the day and have been enjoying it daily without worrying about kicking myself off the plan.

Of course, this photo is full of carbs haha- it is from my book Inspired Gatherings. You can grab a copy HERE if you would like.

A short and sweet weekend view today- coming your way this week, all the cozy things. From cozy home decor and stylings to some cozy comfies I have been wearing on repeat. Stay tuned also for the next installment in our Trash or Treasure series as well as our Intentional Living series.

Happy Weekend all.
