My company put on ‘Elf in the Courtyard’ Friday night. It was windy and chilly and fun.

J and I made peppermint candy this weekend. I have to say I underestimate the great fun that is melting chocolate, especially Ghirardelli. It’s easy, delicious, and results in fun treats.

Our Saturday morning was a restful one. Reading, breakfast, baking, cleaning, quality time.

Today I feel like a hipster-hippie-professional mashup. Plaid, lace, wide-leg jeans, grey boots. Hello, Monday.

We also adventured into shortbread bites, aren’t they fun?

Also, my friend introduced me to SO Delicious Coconut Milk, (seasonal) Mint Peppermint flavored…. and it’s doubled my iced coffee intake. (I have no shame.) My friends, I highly recommend it! I plan on stocking up for the winter before they stop selling it.

How was YOUR weekend?
