Happy Friday! I had to do a 6-month checkup yesterday. I received some good news, but there are also some areas I need to improve. While I was there, I decided to work on a habit I have been trying to practice, which is using my time wisely and being less on my phone when I am waiting for things.
I am finishing up a book for my summer Christian Lady Book Club that I am hosting, and tonight is our final summer meet up. I will do a review on it soon! It was super good! It really ministered to my heart.
Ohhhhhh........ Check out my bookmark! I started diamond painting this year. I love it. I made this bookmark in July. My mom has gotten me hooked. I have already created some beautiful things. She thought I might like it to help with my EMPTY NESTING. HAHA!!! Well, she was right.
Do you like Magazines???
One of my favorite things I have been loving this past year is magazines. They are almost a thing of the past BUT I'm aiming to keep them alive. HAHA! I have so many fond memories of my mom and granny having them on their coffee tables and stuffed in little reading baskets. My mom will fill a little basket for me when I come to visit. It means so much. Here are a couple of my favorite current reads.
I love Bella Grace, Willow & Sage, Tea Time and Victoria. AND yes, I like some of the older cheesy ones like Woman's World or First (something like that 😉) because these are the ones my mom had, and I remember always flipping through them.
I was aiming for a cozy day after my appointments and errands. I love to listen to soft relaxing instrumental music. It was cooler today and so I decided to bake a dessert for my ladies book club meeting. There is nothing like soft music or jazz playing while I bake and cook!
Do you like to listen to music, podcasts, or audio books when you are doing things?? I sometimes like just the QUIET, but usually when I bake and especially if I am craving cozy, then soft music it is!

Good news on your check up.
I love magazines and subscribe to a few. I pass them on to my daughter and she passes them to her friends.
I enjoy a comfortable home and love baking .

I like you believe your home can be cozy all year long. Mine is also my refuge and I so enjoy being there. Your recipe looks tasty. Will need to try. Thanks for sharing. Also look forward to getting to know another fellow blogger. Janice
I love cozy too and I think it's a great thing to work on in our homes. I also like to have music playing when cooking or cleaning. I haven't gotten into podcasts but I should look more into that.
I make that recipe too and have made it for years as well. Mine is just a little different with chocolate chips in the cream cheese mix and plain sugar on top. I bet the cinnamon is a great addition.
Yummy
Looks yummy
My sister was telling me that a magazine she subscribes to is going digital. We both agreed that is a no for us! There is something about sitting down and thumbing through a magazine that brings me joy and gives a moment of slow.
I'll say yes to any kind of cheesecake. Yum!
Hi Cathy!!! Thank you for popping in. Which magazines do you like?
Janice, thank you so much for stopping by!!!!! Please try it. It is very simple and good.
Mari, chocolate chips sounds like a perfect addition!!!!!!!
I tried hard to convert one of the magazines I liked that went to digital and I CAN'T! I just can't! LOL!! I love the real thing. I was gifted a kindle for Christmas. I like it but I rarely use it. I like a real book in my hands.
That is fab that you are trying to use your time more wisely. Good luck and yes, your bookmark is so pretty!
I always have music of some sort playing while I am in the kitchen and I love how your kitchen looks so cosy!
Yum! That cheesecake sounds so good!
Thank you for visiting!!!!! I loved your blog when I visited!
I love creating cozy! And yes your kitchen looks quite cozy. I have a friend that passes her magazines down to me. They are very relaxing to read in the evenings:) I would love to be part of a book part. I'm not the biggest reader but I think it would just be a lovely time with ladies. I hope you had a wonderful evening with your ladies!
