Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
Another Christmas Day has come and gone. In my social media feed are all sorts of people talking about spending today cleaning up from the festivities. Some are taking down their trees and packing away the decorations. Not my family. We prefer to linger in the holiday season. Earlier today, my daughter breathed out a […]
Last night I engaged in something very special to me – a solitary Christmas celebration. Before anyone gets confused or upset, let me clarify something. I’m not suggesting that you ditch your family for the holidays. And I don’t want anyone to think that I’m all alone for Christmas because if you have seen my social […]
Do you have any special Christmas Eve family traditions? Traditions have a lovely way of bringing a family together. They help create and maintain those bonds, build feelings of warmth and contentment, and provide a link between the generations. When I was a kid, we opened our gifts on Christmas Eve. Being descended from German […]
The holiday season is one of abundance, boasting several different ways to indulge. From the delicious Christmas dinner, to all the treats and festivities, it is difficult to refrain from partaking, and why should you? After all, balance is key! And if you are sticking to an exercise routine and making sure to get your […]
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 […]
There are 10 days left until Christmas Eve. It’s time to set aside that list of 100 Pinterest ideas for the “best Christmas ever” and face reality. Having the best Christmas ever means being present. It doesn’t mean Mom (okay, I’m being a bit sexist here but based on my social media feeds, the majority […]
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 […]
