Have a Great Weekend!


Hello out there! It's been  a very busy couple of weeks, but I do take time to enjoy some wonderful moments along the way.

Summer Sunset + Have a Beautiful Weekend

A little bit of orange this morning...

It was a great sunset that deserved a better location to capture it from. But without that location nearby, I was not about to let a great sky get away. Have I ever mentioned how much I like summer sunsets? By now I'm sure I don't have to mention it. ;)
Sunset is easily my favourite time of the day. Even if I don't have a camera in my hands...

Sometimes, You Just Need a Vacation

Sorry I've been away from my blog for about a week now and while I do miss blogging the vacation was needed. My goal for this vacation was to get away from it all, relax and recharge.
In fact, this time I've decided to do a staycation instead of traveling somewhere for a vacation.
Let's face it, the experience of travel is awesome but when you're in debt is not a good idea.
Stay-at-home-vacation is a great option if you're looking to relax, save money, avoid travel.

I love staycations and playing tourist! It's always fun to explore your home area.

Hope you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend! xx





Omg - so darn cute!

Gosh, it's Friday again! Well, the time has come to turn off the computer and curl up with a good book and a glass of wine tonight - nothing better.

Five Things Tuesday

Popsicles left in my freezer. (From Ice Cream Days.)
Decor pieces that literally make me smile. I think nothing brightens a room quite like a simple tall vase of fresh flowers.

Simple Little Pleasures + Have a Fun Weekend!

Sometimes you just want to sit and watch the sunrise.

It seems like my whole life has become about the little things and I am...

Blogging Notes


As most of you already know, here on CAD I post, one blog post per week and I'm fine with that. One post per week is the perfect balance for me, at least for the time being. I just gave up trying to post every day because it is too hard and sometimes real life has to come first.
I applaud people who can post everyday. I just can't. I tried to, but I was physically exhausted.

Gosh, things have been crazy over here. I've been so busy with work lately. I feel overloaded and I often have to work late to hit the deadlines. So today, I got the bright idea to write a quick and easy post and share some recent photos that I feel...

Back Again

Hello there! I know it's been awfully quiet around here, and I do feel a little badly about that.
I just wanted to let everyone out there know that yes, I am still alive.

P.S. Look forward to catching up with you this Friday. I've missed y'all so much! xx

Beautiful Home Office Decorating Ideas

It's so nice to have a cozy personal little space to really "do your own thing". I'm currently a bit obsessed  with home office set ups. And I'm just drawn to these pretty, minimalistic yet...

Just a Quick Note

Freedom!

Hello there all my friends! Just dropped in to say hi. I know I've been missing in action for a while...where have I been? So here's my news (in case you were wondering).
I thought that since I'm having a vacation, I would blog about how very nice it is to stay home and pretend you're on vacation. Yep. No stress on the budget, no stress on traveling to or from, so I'm having a lovely staycation this year. For me, staycation is all about staying up late, sleeping in, visits to family, taking naps, reading, a good movie, dinner with friends, going to the beach, the park for numerous picnics and getting chores done that I don't have time to do otherwise. I even managed to update my G+ little spot . (It has been so sadly neglected!)
Staycation is a good way of getting rest and reducing stress as well. Sufficient rest and relaxation are extremely important to our overall health and well-being. (I still need to remind myself of their value. Not because I don't essentially know it, but because it can sometimes seem like a million other things need to get done first.)  

To be honest, I only took a long weekend trip to the seaside but nothing beyond that really.

Anyway, I'll be back soon. Have fun and do have a wonderful weekend!

Did I mention I'm on "vacation"? xx

Life Lately

Browsing through old photos. I totally love looking at old photos...brings back so many great memories. Reliving delightful memories will always bring a smile to my face. And I am a sucker for that nostalgic feeling, but sometimes it's too much and I need to stop!
Life has been going pretty good lately. Well, my life may not be perfect, but I am thankful for everything I have; I am blessed. I don't have everything that I want, but I do have all I need. I live a very positive lifestyle and encourage others to do so! After all, I've found it easier to look at things positively. Over the years, I have come to realize that "It pays to be positive".
My favourite quote right now.

I'm not gonna miss you, sweet little macaron...at least for the next couple of weeks. I'm on a diet to lose weight, but I'm much more conscious about what I'm putting into my body these days.

This is Puddles. My new neighbour's furry friend. He's so... 

Blogging + Have an Inspiring Weekend!

I love sunsets.

When I first started up my blog I had no idea if anyone would read my posts, what it would be like, what type of people would be visiting, what I was doing or what I was getting into.
What I've quickly learned is that there are: The unspoken rules of blogging etiquette. One important rule is...

Update: No, that's not me!:)

Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us come for a short visit, not knowing why, yet...

Uplifted + Have a Blissful Weekend!

Hello, my dears. Got to say I missed you all. My friend Elena asked me the other day. How do you forgive that? How did you survive that?
So today's quote is: "Didn't know I had a choice..."

No one can depress you. No one can make you anxious. No one can hurt your feelings. No one can make you anything other than what you allow inside. 
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
                          
Anytime someone is trying to break my spirit down, I just remember this quote. It really does help me to get back on track emotionally.
Tomorrow I'll go shopping and maybe I'll buy a Smiley Face T-shirt and a pair of high heels.
                                                          
Life is good after all!

My lovelies, hope you have a happy Easter weekend! xx
