Week in Photos

I again apologize for being a bit absent from the blog this week. A fun weekend with my parents (I did no work) and a majorly failed recipe on Tuesday set me behind.

As a blogger trying to share recipes with all of you, failed ones can be very frustrating. I felt discouraged on Tuesday. I had nothing to share with you on Wednesday. And I thought I would have to continue to play catch-up with posts.

But, I had one bad day. That’s it. The next was great. I developed four recipes on Wednesday, without having to rush. It’s like the food blogging gods were there to help pick me up after my day of discouragement.

Reminder to self: there will be good days and there will be bad days, but the good seem so much more significant than the bad. The bad will disappear, you won’t remember them. The good will stick around. Words to live by for blogging and for life.

Enjoy, five little things that made my week.

{This kitty. For being the best little cuddler.}

{This pasta. For being just so delicious. And for making the best leftovers.}

{This doughnut. Given to me by Ben (Greg’s cousin) at the Headhouse Farmer’s Market. It was from here and undeniably delicious.}

{This. With mom, dad and Greg. And a great surprise from Janet and Eva. We went, we ate, we explored. So much fun. }

{This sugar. I love this picture for some reason. The only good thing to come out of the failed recipe I mentioned above.}

What little things made your week special?

How do you deal with a bad day?

Enjoy your Friday!

I didn’t post a week in photos last week. Although, it would have been my longest one to date.

So many little, unexpected things and moments made my week last week. It’s nice now to think of all those things again. It was a week full of a lot of big things, but it is really the little things that I am remembering.

I’d like to go into great detail, but that would be too long of a story. To keep it short, think a graduation card from a complete stranger. A delicious, fun breakfast with my mom at my favorite Indiana eatery (with two refills of coffee and a free capitol roll from the awesome workers). A fun night filled with Mexican food, wine and great conversation with a wonderful friend who I now miss. A relaxing night after a hard day of moving. A trip to the airport to pick up my dad. A happy reunion with Greg at this place, another Western, Pa. favorite. A fun night with family and friends, all together, enjoying being outside. Good beer, wine and food all throughout the week, to celebrate.

I said I would keep it short. But really, that’s just the short list of small, unexpected moments that are still making me happy.

And now, let me show you, five things that made this week happy.

{This lunch. This burger + lettuce + an egg. Yum.}

{This sundae. Best snack/dessert ever.}

{This kitty. Being just a little mischievous, but mostly cute :).}

{This fruit. I find cutting fruit so relaxing lately.}

{This door. My new tiny apartment.}

Enjoy your weekend! I hope that you find many little things that make it special.

Here are six little things that made my week happy!

{This beer. Bought just for me by my dad. Sweet + thoughtful + delicious.}

{This rain storm. For some reason, lately I have enjoyed the rain. On this night, I just sat and listened to it for awhile. I can’t even remember the last time I did that.}
