Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
Welcome back to another weekly meal plan! I have had several readers asking why I bother to make weekly menu plans and it really boils down to 3 key reasons. Saving money. Saving time. And saving aggravation. By planning ahead, I am able to take advantage of sales at the local grocery stores. We tend […]
This is my first full week back to work after the holidays. I did actually do some work during the break but I kept it to the bare minimum and really allowed myself some down time. It. Was. Glorious! Don’t get me wrong. I love my job. I love the writing and the creativity and […]
A new year is about to begin. How will you be ringing it in? It’s going to be fairly chill for us. My family is headed to their friend’s house in the early evening but they’ll be back before midnight. Of course, with a toddler who doesn’t always sleep very well, my guess is that […]
Recently, I shared my recipe for French Canadian Tourtiere (meat pie). It’s delicious and savory comfort food with flavors that are reminiscent of fall and winter. It’s the kind of dish that makes you feel cozy all over. Since then, I’ve had some readers asking about the “red stuff” in the dish beside the Tourtiere. […]
Well folks, the holidays are finally here! Are you ready? We’re having a fairly low-key Christmas, which is just the way we want it. Christmas Eve is our traditional time to open gifts together and then Santa comes and my daughter and her family open gifts on Christmas morning. We have a brunch of pancakes […]
We have a longstanding tradition in our family of having pancakes on Christmas morning. After all, they are my daughter’s favorite! Usually, we make them in the shape of reindeer (with bacon antlers). This year, I thought I’d make some fun Christmas tree pancakes to go along with them! When I was growing up, we […]
Inspired by one of my favorite blogs Brocante Home (who was in turn inspired by a feature in Harper’s Bazaar written by Diana Vreeland), Why Don’t You is a new weekly feature here on Creative Cynchronicity. It’s a bit of an extension of Cyn’s Month with a week’s worth of suggestions for adding a little […]
I tried this concept out for a little while last year but it seemed like no one was reading Cyn’s Month. It still lived on but in the archives, hidden away. Well, in reviewing my stats and reading some emails, it seems that Cyn’s Month was actually a favorite feature for some of you. So, […]
This is my first full week back to work after the holidays. I did actually do some work during the break but I kept it to the bare minimum and really allowed myself some down time. It. Was. Glorious! Don’t get me wrong. I love my job. I love the writing and the creativity and […]
Is anyone else having some crazy (as in not seasonal at all) weather these days? It has been warmer than usual around here and we’ve barely had any snow (pretty much just a dusting here and there). In fact, we’ve had severael rainy days in the past month. Still, I feel like a big winter […]
