Food Corner: New Meal Schedule

Published by Sula H.

I know we are pretty spoiled, getting our meals, usually three times a day, served buffet style. However, during the winter break, things change around here. Now we only get served two meals a day, brunch at 10 am, dinner at 5 pm. Brunch offers a rather typical selection of American breakfast items (they call it Western, though; but for me as a European, it’s not anything we would serve for a breakfast, lol): scrambled eggs, fried eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, sausages, fried potatoes, pancakes, french toast, blueberry omelet, and always a Chinese style porridge. On top of that we have toast, oatmeal, some sort of cereals, honey, yogurt, and jam. Did I ever mention I miss cheese? Well, anyways, this is nothing like the typical Chinese breakfast, but I hope to be able to show you more of that in the future! For now, I’m just saying: Bon Apetit!

Inspire Me: Journaling

Published by Sula H.

It may only be a small part of our scrapbook pages, but nonetheless it may make or break our layouts: the journaling. A lot of us really struggle when it comes to journaling, because we want to make our little sentiments interesting and meaningful. Journaling, however, doesn’t have to be such a painful part of our scrap page designs, as there are lots of tools and inspiration out on the web. One such tool I came across just recently is the website called reverb10.com. They offer prompts to boost our journaling, and some of these prompts actually translate into a scrapbook page quite well. Recent prompts have been about your most memorable gift describing a defining moment in your life your most ordinary joyful moment in the last year etc. I’m determined to use these prompts in some of my future layouts, and maybe you will, too …?
