Late Christmas Cards

The saying "Better late than never" is true, right? Right!

This morning I worked on some last minute Christmas cards over breakfast. I know Christmas is later this week, but...I dunno...it just sorta...slipped my mind? I'm going to go ahead and blame being so busy at work. Yea...that sounds good. It's all work's fault!

I finally got to use the Christmas mug I got as a gift. It's so cute! This mug is the perfect holder for a brew of 1/2 Christmas Blend and 1/2 Peppermint Creme. Yum!

I talked hubby into eating some oatmeal with me by offering one of his fave combos: PB + Chocolate Chip.

I heated milk, flaxseeds, and unsweetened cocoa powder to a boil and then cooked extra thick oats and about 1 tsp agve syrup in the mixture till the right consistency. I served the oats into two bowls. Hubby's was topped with a sprinkling of sugar and non-dairy chocolate chips, sliced almonds, with a spoonful of that fresh-ground honey roasted PB. Mine got the PB too, but the rest of my toppings were different: no sugar, yes PB, yes almonds, sub vegan carob chips.

I could barely finish this bowl of oats...it was HUGE!

I'm off to finish my cards, maybe do some house stuff and then have some yarn-y fun with my zumba friend Kat. Cheers!

Breakfast, Holiday

Chocolate in oatmeal - heaven!
And your blog totally reminds me of Posie Gets Cozy's blog! I have adored her blog for years! And yes - I want to get a corgi as well! =)

Holy cow! Putting chocolate and peanut butter in oatmeal never occurred to me. I cannot wait until morning! I will try to tomorrow, for sure. (And probably every day after that, too.)

I feel you on the Christmas cards. This year, I only mailed cards to the people who sent one to me...and I mailed them yesterday.
