February 16 - Paczki Day

 

Paczki Day! 

I think I found the only bakery in the Denver area that sells paczki! Check out Royal Bakery in Arvada, CO (Yelp reviews). Yum, yum, yum! The paczki are filled with rosehip jelly and come either glazed or with powdered sugar.

While I was there, I also decided to try their home made sausage and pierogies. Ah....heavenly! It was like being back in Chicago for an evening. 

If you are in the Denver area, please try Royal Bakery and support local owned businesses!

January 19 - Fresh Squeezed Juice Week

This is not a picture of fresh-squeezed juice. This is a picture of one of my favorite crafts I made in December. I am drinking juice as I type this sentence. Alas, it was not fresh-squeezed.

January 17 - Hunt for Happiness Week

Hunt for Happiness Week - I found a small bit of happiness while taking down the Christmas decorations today (yes, I know, finally!).

January 16 - Nothing Day

Today is Nothing Day. Nothing special to celebrate (except some sweet weather here). If this does not please you, it is also  Appreciate a Dragon Day and Religious Freedom Day.

January 14 - Organize Your Home Day

I'm not sure who could organize their home in one day. Perhaps someone with a very small home and few belongings. My place is on the small side, but I have tons of stuff. There is no way I could get it done in a week, much less a day. Personally, I try to follow Flylady's guidelines for doing a little at a time.

January 12 - Creativity Month

Pretty sure I used up all my creativity getting ready for Christmas. Until I get my mojo back, here's a pic of one corner of the crafty area in our house.
