I (heart) presents!

G was in Germany last week and he brought back some of my favorites.

And my Schwiegermutter sent a present too - Waffelröllchen!

Thinking in German

Why is it so hard to stop in Target, get what you need, and leave? Why is it, that no matter how simple the item, you only recall that item - the purpose of your trip - after you have a shopping cart filled with twenty other items you didn't even realize you needed? I decided to stop in Target this afternoon, with the intent of grabbing a bag of Dingo's, and thirty five minutes later, I found myself looking at cream cheese. I glanced at one of the packages and saw the word, Pfeffer. Pfeffer means pepper in German. So I immediately thought to myself -- ughhhh....how odd....cream cheese with pepper....when did they start making cream cheese with pepper? And then I looked at the package again and slowly read, '...Consumers PREFER the taste of Philadelphia...' Can you imagine? How crazy! That moment was the best part of my day. Funny.

Think about it...

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny.

Jessie Steele's stylish and vintage inspired aprons are adorable.

But this one is my favorite.
