Monday Morning ♥


 








Hello Lovely Friends! 

Here we are at another Monday already.  The week is off to a cold start in my neck of the woods.  I lit the fire all by myself this morning.  My second time ever doing in and I think it was a success since it's warm as toast in here and I have all my heat shut off.  Yay.  I'm working at my kitchen table this morning because with the fire going, it's the coziest spot in the house. 

 I have to food shop tomorrow and you know how it is the day before food shop day....old Mother Hubbard's cupboard is bare! I took a quick look in the pantry, and I saw a can of crushed pineapple, so I whipped up a little coffee cake for breakfast to enjoy by the fire.  Hey, we work with what we have, right?!  It turned out very good and I will link the recipe below (another Pinterest success story!).  

The rest of the day I'll be seated right here, working away on my laptop and keeping warm.  It's going to be a busy week with lots more adulting (boo) but I'll try to find bits of joy tucked in there somewhere.  Fingers crossed.  Also, Friday is Rob's birthday so I need to start planning for that. 

Have a great day friends! 

I have to put another log on the fire and get some work done.  What are your Monday plans? 

Stay cozy! 


PS I made that "old Mother Hubbard" reference to John yesterday and he had NO IDEA what I was talking about.  I'm really getting old.  Maybe I AM old Mother Hubbard! : )

  1. Great work on that fire Lady! I love the expression "warm as toast" - it sounds so cozy. :) That coffee cake sounds wonderful! Nothing better than a sweet pastry and coffee. Happy early bday to Rob! My Monday plans included getting my hair cut and colored and running errands - I hit the ground running today! Blessings to you and stay cozy. xoxo

  3. Happy Monday, Danielle! Great job on the fire! It looks so warm and cozy. Your coffee cake looks delicious, too. I made a carrot cake this afternoon. It's perfect for snacking and breakfast! I'm familiar with "old Mother Hubbard" - I must be old too! Although I don't feel old, so I guess that's a good thing! My Monday plans included running an errand, baking, catching up with my brother on the phone - it was his birthday a few days ago, and laundry. Happy early birthday to Rob! Will you be baking a cake? Have a great week, dear friend.

  4. Look at your fire! Well done!
    I know all about Ole Mother Hubbard. I'm old I guess, lol! Your coffee cake sounds delicious. I made oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies yesterday because we finally had rain. It was cold and gloomy outside and warm and toasty inside. I lit all the candles and sat by the fireplace. It was a perfect day.
    Have a beautiful week and stay warm!

    I hope this message finds you in good health. I am pleased to extend to you an offer of a personal donation in the amount of €1,500,000.00 intended to support your individual growth and the pursuit of your goals. This grant is made with confidence in your integrity, talent, and the potential I see in your future contributions. However, in the spirit of shared responsibility and sustainable progress, I would like to make this gift conditional upon one important obligation: that you commit to using a portion of your time, skills, or resources to directly benefit your community within the next 12 months. This could take many forms—organizing a community workshop, mentoring youth in your area, launching a neighborhood improvement initiative, or even creating a public awareness campaign around a cause you’re passionate about. The format is flexible, but the intent is firm: that your personal gain should ripple outward and uplift others. To ensure transparency and shared commitment, I kindly ask that you provide a short written outline of how you intend to fulfill this obligation within 60 days of accepting the Donation. I will not require formal reporting beyond that, but I do trust you will carry it out in good faith. It is my belief that when support is given with mutual accountability, its impact multiplies. I look forward to seeing both your journey and the positive effect your actions will have on others. If you are interested in my donation, contact me for more information.
