Favorite Links Week 2: Year 2025
This post is coming to you from New York. Our first trip of the year. Where my family and I are spending a long weekend making memories and eating around the city.
It’s the first time we’re all together in the city at the same time. We have been here on different occasions, but never together.
Long weekends are my favorite. They are the perfect excuse for a quick trip or a quick road trip. What are your favorite short trips? Do you fly or enjoy a scenic road trip?
Let me share with you some of my favorite links for this week! Grab a hot drink 
and a treat and join me for my favorite links.
and a treat 
and join me for my favorite links. One of my favorite cities is Paris. I honestly can’t wait to return. That’s why it’s not unusual to find myself being inspired by Parisian decor.
Here is an article from Architectural Digest taking us inside a stylish Stockholm apartment with a Parisian design flair.

The entire design is cozy, elegant, and cohesive. You will find inspiration in everything, from the color palettes to furniture to the wallpaper selection.
DAILY PLANNER 📝 2025 Season by Season Planner
One of the items I gift myself every year is a planner. One where I can keep myself organized, accountable, and on track. I’ve changed planners throughout my life. Some brands have been on repeat and this planner is one of them.
This planner is beautiful. It’s a planner designed to schedule your day by the hour, and provides a To Do section on the side. Plus, it includes a Weekly Refresh section after each week. This section encourages you to dig deep into areas like Habits to Tend, Goals to Focus On, What’s Ahead, and What Matters Most This Week.
BOOK TO READ THIS MONTH 📚 You Are A Bad Ass, by Jen Sincero
I always have books on my nightstand to read while I unwind before bedtime. The books range a variety of topics from cookbooks (yes, I love reading cookbooks and dream of new recipes to try), to non-fiction, documentaries, educational, and motivational (like this one).
I have been reading this book for a while and I am loving it. It makes you stop and think. The kind of book that will have wanting to keep a notebook next to it and take notes of things that come to mind, or questions that you would want to answer. It’s a dig-deep kind of book and I’m loving it!
Let me know if you get this book and what you think about it.
We can start a book club and enjoy some books throughout the year. Reply to this email if that is something you are interested in!
BAKE 
Biscoff Blossom Cookies, by My Sweet Zepol
I want to share with you a sweet recipe that I’ve baked several times already.
As many of you know, I started my creative career through blogging and my blog was a food blog. I created easy-to-follow recipes for the busy mom. Baked goods were my main focus, even though I also shared some savory recipes.
What can I say – I have a sweet tooth!
I also got in the Le Cordon Bleu as a Pastry Chef, when they were in Orlando, FL. Had my uniform and everything. Days before starting my car broke down, I had two little girls at a time and my husband was the only one working. Long story short, I decided it was not the right time.
That didn’t stop me from baking and sharing my love for pastries. I still bake. These past few years I’ve been baking gluten-free and dairy-free versions of my recipes. I can share them with you, if you like.
Let me know if this is something you will enjoy!
I love a good treat, especially during the afternoon with a warm cup of tea (or coffee). Let me take you to my other side of the web-world, where I share my love for food with easy recipes!
Tip: These cookies freeze well – no pressure on baking all the batch at once. Bake what you want, freeze cookie dough shaped into balls, and bake as many as your heart desires at any given moment!
Let me know in the comment section below if you have any requests, ideas, or questions I can cover next week.
Until later my dear friend!
