I kind of like keeping it simple, choosing carefully, being focused. So it’s a simple inspiration post again today, with my favorite images, no fillers. I thought about writing a long post about some things that are on my heart, but today I’ll just be quiet and wait for another time to write those words.
Enjoy the photos.

I have to say, I’m pretty excited about this latest project. I know it’s going to be totally awesome, and I am having so much fun working on it + collaborating with some other people. Be looking for a launch post in a couple of weeks with more details about this!
These. Are. So. Good. Seriously, cinnamon buns as pancakes? I think so. They’re chock-full of cinnamon, maple flavoring, and almond; and instead of using syrup you top them with powdered sugar glaze. I found the recipe here, and I’ll duplicate it below, because it would just be wrong to not share.
1 1/2 cups flour
3 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
2 Tablespoons maple syrup (or 1/2 Tbs. maple flavoring + 1 1/2 Tbs. milk)
1/4 cup melted butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, and then add the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Create a well in the flour mixture (hollow out the center), and pour the wet ingredients in. Whisk or stir until fully combined. Cook in a pan or griddle until brown on both sides. (Note: these tend to cook faster than normal pancakes, so be sure to keep the stove just below medium heat and keep a close eye on them)
Drizzle pancakes with a mixture of 2 cups powdered sugar, a few tablespoons of whole milk or cream (add it one Tbs. at a time until you reach the right consistency – just thin enough to pour), and 1 teaspoon almond or maple flavoring. Enjoy, then share with your closest friends. You’re welcome.
This recipe makes enough to feed about six people.
Today’s inspiration has a lot less images…I wanted to keep it simple this time round. Dark textured backgrounds, white sans serif typefaces, and all photos Christmas have been grabbing me recently. I guess I’m a broken record when it comes to dark texture + white type…but hey, that’s me. And I love it.
I’ve been reminding myself for the past two weeks to enjoy every minute of this season, and not let it slip past me. I keep telling myself to slow down and take a minute to breathe, to just live in the moment and forget about all the busy things I have to do. Time goes by too quickly – we have to cherish it while it’s here. So that’s what I’m going to do while I can. Happy Monday, all!
*Yay for Christmas on the blog! What do you think of the new design?*

Sometimes that’s just the case, right? Last week was crazy and wonderful – I just barely won NaNoWriMo for the third year, finishing with 17 minutes to spare and having written 12,000 words in one day. (By the way, I wouldn’t recommend trying that. I literally hurt some muscles in my hand and got some kind of paper burn on my pinky. It was worth it, though) And now I’m so excited for Christmas and really enjoying this season. Pinterest has been blowing up with Christmas photos, designs, and everything else you can think of; and I had a hard time picking my favorites to share. But by far the one I love the most is this first one on the left. Talk about beautiful photography! Take a moment and look through the rest of the photos from that session – you’ll be glad you did. ;)
*Stay tuned for some fun new changes coming to the blog this week!*
