I'm slowing down here.

Quality over quantity.

With school starting in one week, two novels brewing, several wedding cakes on the books, and a full-time job...something had to give.

But don't worry, I'll still be here every Monday with words and treats.

So in consolation for no more posts this week, I'm hosting a giveaway.

Jump over to my Facebook page to find out how to win a year subscription to one of my favorite magazines--Bon Appetit.

And if you happen to win and already receive Bon Appetit, I'll send you another culinary magazine...surely you don't get them all!

Always,
Monet

I just LOVE that needlepoint.....and what a precious photo of him doing it. kudos to you for slowing down, it is so necessary, and something we should do often. Life just seems to move at mach speed these days and can give us terminal whiplash if we let it. Enjoy your rest sweet bella, refresh and renew in those quiet moments. I'll go check out your FB page, I've never had a subscription to a food magazine!

I admire you for slowing down...I need to do the same. With work and Maya I really need to prioritize, and yet somehow I can't! The Internet is too tempting.

Good luck Monet...looking forward to reading your Monday posts!

I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity, and in cultivating a slower life. Your blog should be a haven and a creative outlet for you and your readers, so there's no need to stress over it. How exciting (and nerve-wracking?) that you'll be making wedding cakes!

I just ordered a subscription to Bon Apetit through my cousin's school's fundraiser.. in fact.. I haven't gotten it yet. I need to call them. I'll miss your more frequent posts but completely understand the slowing down! Good luck!! =)

You are juggling so much Monet! And wedding cakes? I'm so happy and excited for you! I don't blame you one bit for needing to slow down a bit. Have a wonderful week! xoxo

I know from experience how hard it is to tell yourself to slow down so kudos to you for forcing yourself to do it! We'll miss you but we'll also totally understand!

What a lovely blog, Monet :)

I just took a long break from blogging -- unfortunately for being ill! Love it whenever I see a guy with needlepoint ;)

Life never slows down, does it? Good luck with the busy schedule! Mine has also been picking up as of late... guess that's just us becoming responsible...

Enjoy the upcoming weekend, my dear!

Slowing down is always a good thing. I would tell you to enjoy the downtime, but I suspect there might not actually be all that much of it!

If you don't want that large of sunglasses on your face but still prefer a bigger size, the PR03NS might be the right They have wild color options for the frames, from mimetic burnt and caramel to mimetic ruby to mimetic gray and black.If you are not one for the large frames, then you need to check out the PR50HS style. These have sturdy earstems that lead up to the very thin frames which are available in both dark bronze and silver. The same lens colors are available as with the Linea Rosa models, and you can even upgrade them further with special mirror coating, anti-scratch coating,
