Lovely post as usual! Weekend meditations are always something I look forward on Sundays.

This photo reminds me that I recently discovered that (fresh) radish leaves make a lovely soup, especially paired with an onion for sweetness and a potato for creaminess.

Very nice and practical looking! The erasable stickers are especially genius!

Hi Nikelle,

It's not exactly the same print, but have a look at this:

Or you could always make one yourself!

Love this post! I don't have children, but my partner travels a lot and on the rare occasion when he doesn't we're too often tired and grumpy to truly appreciate evenings. When we manage to sneak in a weeknight dinner together (and sometimes even a glass of wine!) it feels so nice, whether I cooked it for him or we cooked together! It is really not about the quantity but the quality of those moments, and managing to connect through our shared love of food.

How lovely!

My love of cooking and most of my early food memories come from my grandmothers (both were amazing cooks) so this made me smile and think of them.

Wonderful! I just bought a bottle of Aperol that will be perfect for this. And since Aperol tastes similar to Campari but with half the alcohol contents, I might even drink two glasses! ;-)

Love this! Especially the house's "bones", and that gorgeous fireplace!

So beautiful! I have no choice but to make some over the weekend.

On people freaking if they can't reach you immediately via e-mail, I had the same problem initially but after a while (and a bit of training) everyone mostly got used to it. I informed those I work with most frequently, and included my schedule in my e-mail signature for 100% transparency. People now know they may have to wait for 3 hours before receiving a response (and if it's that urgent, there's always the phone!).

These days I only check my e-mail at 8 am, 11 am, 2 pm and 5 pm, write down any actions from incoming e-mails in my to-do list, and work quietly and uninterrupted for long stretches of time. As I now am more productive no one can complain about my new habit, and I also feel much less stressed and happier!

I agree this may not be for everyone, but it can pay off really giving it a try!

Super useful post! My current dilemma is that I bought some Rapunzel Almond Butter that is super runny (as opposed to the normal firm texture of peanut butter), and I am clueless on how to use it. Any ideas?
