At the end of the day your attitude matters.

Lately I have been feeling an overwhelming sense of Gratitude. There is definitely something about this time of year that makes one realise just how fortunate we are and just how hard it could really be. Our complaints seem so big and of utmost importance to us when in actual fact they are rather small and manageable. I follow a blog called www.styleberryblog.com  -Shawna knows just how to keep your feet on the ground! Take a look at her latest article on Gratitude.

Chocolate Dipped Oreo Pops | The Creative Mama

When I left school I spent a little over a year in New York.
Among the many new and exciting things to try and do, I almost immediately fell in love with Oreos.
Over that year I gained a great 23kgs - and I can honestly say I think half of those kilos were pure Oreos!
Needless to say when I returned to South Africa I didn't consume nearly the same amount of Oreos as I did in New York but my love for them have never died!

Have a look at Shawna's link below for a great easy and very affordable way to get creative with these delicious little treats!

Once your creativity takes over the possibilities are endless with them!

A slice of convenience | CharlotteObserver.com & The Charlotte Observer Newspaper

A simple pleasure in life is walking into a house with the aroma of freshly baked biscuits…. Definitely not something that happens to me often enough!

I discovered CharlotteObserver.com (via www.Pinterest.com) where I found these fantastic recipes for biscuits that you can freeze and make at a later stage …. They look yummy and what a good idea especially with the Festive Season upon us, it’s a great time saver. Make a batch, bottle them and hand them out as gifts!
