Sunday breakfast...yummo

Being able to cook is a true blessing, I might say a gift. So with that being said I am in bed trying to be inspired for a great Sunday breakfast.. Then I ran across this video of one of my best...
A savory beef patty,
Buttery grits
Fried over medium egg
OMG I think with some fried oniony potatoes ....huuunmmmmmmmm
Tea or coffee......yes coffee in a pretty cup ( must always dress the table)
ok folks look and get hungry... I am getting up to create magic!

Focused on the prize

Here is a peak at what homework for me looks like.

I have a mic (two of them: one to perform, one to record) near by and a monitor to work on technique.

I have a show coming up and recording so I have to be on point.... I love music,, I am music...this feeds me and I respect it enough to give my all. I will share some music in the new year so stay tuned....

Oh yeah isn't the iMac pretty? lol sorry for you PC users,, may Santa will show pitty and drop an ipod..ipad or somethin' in your sad PC stocking...lol just kidding ( not really I am a snob when it comes to computers lol)

love ya

Elegant Loveseat/Daybed

Monday I was very blessed to receive this amazing gift... it is hard to put into words what my heart felt when Melanie Kubik showed me into her spare room and said I want this to go to someone beautiful..... yes I cried.. I have always and let me capitalize it ALWAYS wanted sofa just like this....but to be given said item is literally more than I can say in this moment.. but I wanted to share a glimpse of what love looks like! I know I have a charmed life of wonderful people who choose to share life with..kids, family friends...but God gave me extra.

I bought a sofa and chaise recently and I have this with my dining table! Fancy huh.. I have to either raise the cushion or add extenders to the legs for just a few more inches..but it is a look I have seen in all my decor mags.. I just so happen to see cloth chairs I wanted to snaz up my crisp black table, so it looks like the look is all coming together!! Maybe you will be on the sofa eating one of my dishes soon!

Breakfast in Bed....luxury

When you want to treat yourself, what better way than breakfast in bed!
For some of you cooking may not be your strong suit, but careful planning and you can create
a beautiful moment without leaving home!
Collect great teacups and old napkins to make your warm cup of goodness sparkle.
Even a simple tray adorned with tasty morsels looks like English bone china! lol
I have my bed dressed in all white which gives a zen like feel with it's crispness.

I stayed at a hotel and it had simple all white linens on the bed and it was gorgeous.
I mixed the textiles (I wish you could see the detail in every layer :) )to add depth.
The stacked trunk set I have had for over 11 years and holds all kinds of girly finery!

Just start with something simple as tea in bed and build from there!

Tea Forte..a lovely way to drink tea!!!!!

One Mother's Day my oldest daughter bought me a tea set from Tea Forte
and I have been in love ever since.
The tea cup and it's lid was so dainty I knew she had created a new habit I would not soon break!
The silk triangle tea infuser just makes the experience more lady like!

The newest to my tea time is the insulated infuser for my loose tea....
omg..i love the variety pack that came with it. I now have about 5 new teas to add to my favorites list.

Please try to make even a cup of tea special.

we only have this moment...oops now its' gone.........

Ran away with the iPad!!!

So how do tell a without sounding like your bragging?
Io am crazy about this pad...oh yes i am blogging right now from a coffee shop and baby I am on cloud nine!
I thought okay, i will email and surf the net..but omg the games are addicting and the web searching is insane how fast it is.
So, if I was to tell you should you buy one..honey if you could see how jealous my bike is..loll
But i have them out together to make sure they get along!

Is my hubby a little jealous...oh yeah..the kids...think so..
They should be..I LOVE THIS THING!
..so I won't add insult to injury by adding a picture..but you can imagine my smile..yeah and as I type this on a sunny day..
Janet Jackson is singing in my ear!


Love ya..

(not as much as the iPad though)

Waffle takedown....DUN DUN DUN DUUUUN

Mothers Day '10

started out on a covert

mission to get a waffle!!

No kids in sight..

two mothers out

to satisfy themselves with

great company and

a perfect way to say

I am a cool mom!

Bread and Ink on Hawthorne

hit a home run again.

Angela (my sister from another..you know)

spoiled me with her company and treated me to

an amazing morning.

As you can see from the pic

there was carnage.

No I am not ashamed.

I join the leagues of waffle

cone sures

and counted myself to be among the elite!!

This is my second Mothers Day at the B&I

and I plan to be there in '11

with bells on!

Join Me?
