Five things

Posted on October 12, 2015September 9, 2019 by try small things

We had our big Thanksgiving dinner last night so we’ve been pretty low-key today. The menfolk have been watching Bob Vila’s Home Again on the Interwebs (can you believe it’s 25 years old?), the kiddos playing with Lego, and me baking all the things. How was your day? Continue reading Five things

It’s been an incredibly busy and stressful couple of weeks and I’ve got some tea to spill, just not quite yet. (I know, I know, it’s annoying for me too. I hate to leave you hanging!) In the meantime, pull up a chair and join me for a cuppa something sweet — the limited edition Tea Lover’s Box from @sweetreadsbox, served up this spring. I get my love of tea from my mom so I saved the box to share with her when she was up for Easter. The full reveal is up on the blog (the link's in my profile). What's clever? A mocktail that doesn't taste like you're at the kids' table. Friday I stopped by @knyotadrinks' new store for some reccos and picked up a variety of bevvies by @clevermocktails. Their Pink Gin & Tonic here just won gold in the alcohol-free category at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.🥇These drinks are definitely not kids' sodas -- they are delicious and sophisticated adult beverages that hold their own at the table for any occasion. GIVEAWAY! 🎵 Pearls just wanna have fun 🎵 A lovely and very limited selection of Majorica pearls just arrived at @truebijoux and the prices are fabulous! I had no idea pearls could be so affordable. (These are only my first. 😯) If you've been wanting to treat yourself or a loved one, this is the week to do it! Spoil-her alert! 🚨 @foodiepages has Mother's Day covered with fabulous gift boxes featuring the best sips, eats and treats from Canadian makers and small businesses. And they ship worldwide! Today on the blog I'm sharing the "In The Pink" box I'm gifting my mom and tomorrow another I'm sending my bestie (another wonderful mother!). The first in a week of all-Canadian boxes on the blog, @thegiftrefinery is a lovely luxury lifestyle subscription box without the luxury price tag. 😍😍 Peep the Spring edition at the link in my profile. (I treated myself to this one.) Literally all over April's @sweetreadsbox. Can't wait to share it with you! #gifted #caturday Just up on the blog: the latest from artisanal candle subscription @vellabox, with a little help from my mom. 😁 (The link's in my profile.) #gifted Over hare thinking about these bunny cookies I made a couple of years ago. And my matching bunny slippers! 🐰🐰 Easter anything cuter? Also our deck is just as dirty. Time for a good powerwash. 😬 I had a salad joke but I tossed it.
