Up North

I'm going to be spending the weekend up in Northern Ontario with a few friends, we're going to be skiing, drinking hot chocolate and marshmallows, and enjoying the snow!

It's been pretty cold here lately and the further north you go the colder it gets (obviously), so this is pretty much what I will be living in this weekend. Oh and of course I will be wearing my parka, that is a must!

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and I may post some pics of our shenanigans when I get back!

WOW!

Wow! I can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted here! An unexpected death in the family and some unexpected issues at work have been the main reasons why I have been away for so long. It's hard to feel motivated or even feel interested in much when your world seems like it's completely upside down. Things are starting to get back to normal, but I am desperately searching for a new job which has been taking up a lot of my time and is pretty much consuming my thoughts at the moment.

Even thought I haven't been keeping my own blog up to date, I have been keeping up with all your lovely blogs, and I have to say it's such a great way to de-stress. So thanks to all of you bloggers out there who have kept me entertained, I may not comment as much as I would like to but I am reading, so keep up the great work (and I promise to comment more :))!!

Anyway, I really want to try and make a go of this whole thing, so I will try my best to post regularly.

Anyway I was home today and decided to take a break from the dreadful task of searching for a job, so I made some yummy cookies! They are super tasty ( I've already eaten four, better stop and save some for the family!) and super easy to make, so give 'em a try!!

Mini Morsel Meringue Cookies





Ingredients

4 large egg whites
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
•1 cup granulated sugar
•2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Chocolate mini morsels (normal sized cho. chips work too)


Directions

PREHEAT oven to 300° F. Grease baking sheets.

BEAT egg whites, salt and cream of tartar in small mixer bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in morsels 1/3 cup at a time. Drop by level tablespoon onto prepared baking sheet.

BAKE for 20 to 25 minutes or until meringues are dry and crisp. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in airtight containers

Listening to- Meet Me On The Equinox- Death Cab For Cutie

I've been a huge Death Cab fan for a few years now, they are definitely one of my favorite bands. While I like this song a lot, I'm not really too keen on the video, I guess it's the whole Twilight thing that I don't like. Anyway enjoy the song!

I've Got Your Love to Keep Me Warm

Yay, we finally had some snow here today! So it's actually starting to feel like winter now, which means I have to start wearing warm outfits. Even thought I have lived in Canada my whole life and I love the winter, I have never really mastered the art of looking cute and stylish while staying warm. For some reason I always feel silly when I'm wearing a hat so I never wear one and my poor little ears freeze! But this year I bought myself a cute little hand knit hat(or toque as we Canucks call it. Is a hat called a toque in the U.S?) at a craft show and it actually looks really cute on (if I do say so myself!) so I'm actually excited about wearing it. Anyway here are some cold weather looks that I'll be taking inspiration from this winter. Oh and P.S. even though I'm not a hat person I'm really loving those fur hats!

Baby it's Cold Outside

It has been unseasonably warm where I live this year. So although it`s the beginning of December I haven`t really had to wear a winter coat yet. I know we`ve just been lucky and that the snow and cold will be here before we know it so I figured that I better start looking for a warm coat now before it`s too late.
So here is my list of some cute options I found online. I`m seriously considering getting the black one with the ruffles, I think it`s really cute, and $85 is a pretty reasonable price for something I`ll be wearing till March. Oh, but that red one from Anthropologie would definitely brighten up a grey winter, unfortunately I`m in no position to be forking over $375.
