A lovely and Merry Christmas, anytime my little Amoura is concerned. We had a nice Christmas. It was hard since this is the first one without my baby.

Amoura loves her stocking. ♡ and her treats inside. She also opened her sist Stocking since she couldn’t do it this year. I’m still struggling day to day with this. I miss my Sathony so much, I can’t say her name without complete heartbreak.

A little board for the family.


Simple place settings. I’m trying to minimize more.

♡ Amoura loves her buttered rolls. Grandma is feeding her.
♡ This cheesecake! I really outdid myself. Plain cheesecake with a graham cracker crust with triple berry sauce and frosted berries.

♡ Merry Christmas too you.

Winter Season

No Comments

We are into the Winter Season and I haven’t updated in months. But, since it is the end of December I wanted to go ahead and post a few things that happened. Earlier in the winter season, I attended a wreath-making party. It was small, quaint, but a lot of simplified. Sometimes, it’s the small things that make us appreciate life.

Winter comes to LA in strange ways. Ways that you have to notice with care, ways that are very subtle, small changes to the trees, to the air. As humans, we have these cravings for coffee and tea and sweaters, lots and lots of sweaters. No matter how the temperature is. We, oh, our personalities needs seasons whether or not the weather has changed or not. We all have to change, we all have to shift, because if we don’t we get tired. So, we need our sweaters and coffee and the happiness that comes with Autumn and Winter by way of family, friends and community.

Tea, Coffee and Sweaters. Pure Happiness.

My favorite joy in the world. Amoura in the morning, with the sunlight basking in her fur.

And Then, Thanksgiving came.

And I went ahead and got my scotch.

Amoura loves bread and butter.

I’m hoping that all of you had a lovely holiday with your families!
