Mantra Mondays
Last night I was looking around for a positive quotes when I came across this one:
“I can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. It’s all how you look at it.” J. Kenfield Morley
I like this quote because I think it embodies the idea that any situation when be viewed as positive depending on how you look at it 🙂

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend and a great Fourth of July! I had a very busy weekend that was extremely productive…plus I had a little fun too!
This is what I woke up to this morning- Puppy Mohawk!

This morning it was back to the grind! I had a bowl of Oatmeal Squares topped with banana and cashews. The Oatmeal Squares are close enough to my usual oatmeal that it felt like a normal workday breakfast 😉

As I said this weekend was filled with getting ready for NYC and packing up some boxes to ship back.
My Mom and I spent a good portion of the weekend looking at household appliances because there are somethings I need to pick up for the apartment. One being a vacuum! I’ve been using a dust buster in place of one all year and it just isn’t cutting it.
I also was looking for a mini food processor.
I couldn’t help but find some interest in a few other things… like the donut maker!!!
Or the alustrious KitchenAid mixer! I seriously think these make a kitchen look better! One day when I have a kitchen that can fit one of these things (and I can afford one) I will get one of my own!
And I love the Keurigs too! I’m not even a coffee drinker and I love these machines!

This past weekend was also filled with baking- my favorite! I baked some of these brownies for the 4th! And helped ice my pre-birthday cake, which we had yesterday as well! (My birthday isn’t till later in the month but I will be back in NYC by then, so my Mom wanted to be sure to make me one befrore I left). Recipes to come later today…
How was your weekend? Do anything special?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a mini food processor?
