I baked these blueberry muffins for Lee's breakfast treat this week. YUM! This batch includes King Arthur's white whole wheat flour as opposed to their all-purpose, fresh blueberries, and sour cream. The sour cream worked well, but next time I'll try the vanilla yogurt option for its added health benefits instead. I also sprinkled some demerara sugar on top before baking, adding a delightful crunch!
I'm sipping Winter Chocolate Rooibos today and enJOYing Martha's Christmas Cookie issue. I don't subscribe to her magazine, but it often calls to me from the rack at the grocery store checkout. Her recipes and crafts tend to be a bit more than I'm willing to tackle, but I'm drawn to the gorgeous photos...perfect for illustrating my journal.
Our Pumpkin Spice centerpiece from Thanksgiving was beginning to droop. I snipped the ends off each stem, peeled away the roses' curling outer petals, gave them a fresh drink, and added a few fragrant sprigs of rosemary. Now we can enJOY it for another few days.
We turned our kitchen table and added a leaf to accommodate us all for Thanksgiving dinner. Even though it's just the two of us for awhile now, I asked Lee to leave it that way. Now I really have some room to spread out. I'm packaging up some December treats, working on my December journal, and writing thank you notes. It's a good place to be on a frosty December day. 
I adore these baby booties for two reasons:
Baby H also received a couple of footed sleepers. The fleecy white one has ears on the hood and paw prints on the feet...too cute! I can't wait to snuggle her in them.
