Puff pastry is one of my favorite freezer staples.
I have never attempted to make it (yet), so I typically just have store-bought on hand.
These pastry braids make a frequent appearance around our house as they are super easy, but look like
they were complicated to make.
Not to mention the filling can be anything you dream up. I have been craving chocolate
lately, so decided to test out a triple chocolate variety.
With the holidays fast approaching, I am also in house guest mode and these are great because you can quickly make a few different flavors
to accomodate different preferences.
Having a little one around this year makes the season even more special, but also motivates me
to plan more, as living life more impulsively is no longer a reality. Not to mention the little guy's birthday is between Christmas and
New Years. I am planning a bigger party this year since it is his first, but I am not sure how this will go as the years pass - any suggestions
from those with holiday birthdays welcome!

I should probably be embarrassed to admit this, but I am mildly obsessed with mermaid blankets.
Grown-ups can own this right?

I am not a big fan of fiction audiobooks, the dramatic readings..uh no thanks, but informational type books tend to be great
on commutes and a big topic for me lately is the daily schedule. I am working to streamline mine as much as possible, so thought
I would check out how the greats did it with Mason Currey's book - * Daily Rituals: How Artists Work. It works well because
each chapter is short and covers one person, which is great for my short time frames in the car.
