Amie Sue of Nouveau Raw has a great chart that offers suggestions for Flavor Profiles that Pair Together.  Since discovering this, I’ve referenced it  a couple times when I’m trying to determine if one of my crazy concoctions is actually going to be edible and I know I will be using it again and again.  Thanks, Amie Sue.

I love a fabulous shower – one that is modern, light-filled and has water coming from every direction – kind of like a car wash.    Here’s my favourite collection of great bathrooms on Pinterest.  There’s some rustic ones in here too because you just can’t beat an outdoor shower, right?

Simply stunning!

How fun is this?!

Would you start your day out dancing in a shower like this?  It just makes me happy!

For the adventurous spirit.

This showers calls for champagne for two.

Lastly, my robins in the backyard are now officially parents!! I’ve had so much fun watching these little ones in the last few days.  At first I couldn’t see anything but I could tell they had been born because mom and dad were busy bringing food to the nest.  Now, after five days, the little ones (I count four so far) are popping their heads up and opening their mouths.  Their eyes are still closed and I have to say, they look like adorable little aliens!

PS….My friend Debbie had a much larger visitor in her yard over the weekend.  It seems that he came to host the BBQ!!  Check out her furry guest here!

 Have a great day, everyone.
