Do you remember the excitement you would get when school would break for the winter? I know that eventually breaks will mean family holidays and entertaining kids; so, I should enjoy this time, right?
This means reading, sleeping, and time well spent in the kitchen. I do not think I can possibly explain how wonderful my mornings are while Mike is still asleep. I make coffee, curl up on the couch, and grab my latest book. I will lounge around (still in pajamas) until I feel the need to continue my day. So.Freakin.Amazing. Sure I read the whatever cheap romance books I can find at the library (hey, the have a good story line!) and drink more coffee than I really should, but honestly, I couldn’t ask for a more relaxing time.
So, when I found these adorable meringue mushrooms, I could not resist making them! I didn’t really have a plan when I started but the end result was a whimsical cupcake.
See, adorable right?
These mushrooms were easy to make (despite the long instructions.) They take a bit to bake and I didn’t whip my meringue as long as I probably should have, but they still turned out in the shape of a mushroom. Don’t judge, I have an obsession for cuteness.
At any rate, with a foot of snow on the ground (and still falling), a cup of coffee and a good book are calling my name right now. I couldn’t think of a better way to ring in the New Year.
Also, one more thing I wanted to share, I hate produce bags at the grocery store. Every time, bags upon bags stack up and I get so frustrated. So, when I found these produce bags from Baggu, I fell in love and promised myself that when I had a little extra money, I would buy a few. As of today, they are on their way! It is the small things in life that get me excited.
