Good morning and happy weekend! Did you have a good week? I have been very busy this week, and feel like I accomplished a lot, especially towards my “less is more” goal. I have decided to get rid of two things a day, minimum, if I feel like more great, if not I make myself put two things on the pile anyway. Oddly, I already feel lighter.
I was very excited because my post Less is More and Other Lessons Learned has been one of my most read posts. It is nice to have a “discussion” with other like minded people about these sorts of things because sometimes it seems as if you are going through it alone.
This week I found so many “favorites” it was hard to narrow it down to just a few but here they are.

Are you a fan of the Mitford Sisters? If so the estate of Doborah, The Dutchcess of Devonshire: The Last of the Mitford Sisters is going up for auction at Sotheby’s. Check out this Link as well for a little backstory if you do not know who she is.

This is THE BEST hot chocolate I have ever made! If you like smooth, creamy, melted chocolate than this is right up your alley because it is pretty much like drinking ganache. A little goes a long way.
I hope you found something that sparked your interest here. If you found something interesting this week I would love to hear about it, please share your book, movies, recipes and more.
Have a safe and happy weekend.

Thanks for these links… I'll check things out!
Elizabeth, thanks for the great links. I loved what Tea and Cookies had to say about writing. And if you haven't read "Wait for Me" by Deborah Mitford, you should get a copy. It is wonderful!
All wondrous things to
explore this weekend,
Elizabeth — thank you!
Just re-read The Art of
Racing in the Rain and
am almost finishing Big
Little Lies. Am then moving
on to Better Than Before,
By Gretchin Rubin, which
is non-fiction. I listen to
her weekly podcasts (you'd
like them) and am very
interested in finding out
more about how we can
use our personality type
to our advantage.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Elizabeth, I have "Wait for Me" on the want list. I read "The Sisters, The Saga of the Mitford Family" loved it. I am going to check Tea and Cookies tips on writing. I always love your Friday Favorites. I have so little time to explore it is nice to have recommendations. Have a terrific weekend. It is going to be relatively warm here. Hugs.
Oh . . . that . . . chocolate!
Have a wonderful weekend, Elizabeth!

Good morning dear one! I had a very busy week at school so I'm tardy in visiting my favorite blogs. IT'S THE WEEKEND and all the fun things of which you speak (especially reading) are what I want to engage in this weekend. Sending you wishes for a fabulous REST!!!!!
That chocolate hugging the cream is scrumptious.
Mitford is very interesting. I have been bloging
with you from 2010. Time fly's when you are having fun.
