Hi there, hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Here things are nice and relaxed, just the way I like it! Had a great dinner with one of our best friends last night and might be heading into the city later today, to meet our sons for lunch, though it is awfully cold! And of course we have the Golden Globes pre show to contend with which I simply will not miss!

I FINALLY took down all of my Christmas decor and on one hand everything looks light and fresh but also a little bare, gotta say I do love that Christmas magic. Here I am with my Seven on Sunday.? Ready? Here we go…..

1. MY NEW CAMERA! I got a new camera for Christmas,? and lordy knows, I certainly needed one. After months of using my iPad and iPhone, trusty as they are….they simply do not offer quite the quality of a ‘real” camera. I got the Canon T5 Rebel and so far so good!

I have only taken a few pictures but I am really enjoying the beautiful crisp quality and gorgeous rich colors. Here is a sampling of my latest photo session. I couldn’t resist the beautiful snowfall we had a few days ago and my now Christmas decor free living room, still getting used to it……

And my cutest subject of all……Mr. Teddy still sporting his Christmas bandana, some just can’t let go of the season:)

2.Instagrams of interest. Never disappoints, Instagram is like an online museum of endless inspiration. I had so many faves this week that I to show some restraint, lol. Here are some of my top picks……

And my very? favorite because lets face, it after the holidays…I think most of us can relate to this:)

3. FISH TACOS. You? know I love to share great recipes when I discover them. Since binge eating fish tacos literally every single day without fail on vacation, I have become a bit obsessed. I think I started having FTW (fish taco withdrawals) three days into being home so quickly set out to finding the best sounding recipe I could find. And boy, did I find a winner over at Simply Gourmet, click here to see recipe. (two things I changed, I baked my fish and did not add batter and I only used 1 tbsp of mayo and the rest yogurt for sauce)

These were soooo good. Dare I say just about as good as though I had on my vacation. Good quality light flaky white fish is key and buying the freshest ingredients you can find will guarantee these are a hit. I made them on Thurs. and will no doubt be making them again sooner than? later. A new staple in our household and best of all, they are low in calories so I won’t have to look like the “enhanced” Barbie up there lol. These went so fast I only got on so so picture of them…….

Lots of lime squeezed over these is a must! Click here for the amazingly good recipe.

5. A WONDERFUL TRAVEL POST ALL ABOUT THE NEWEST HOTELS AROUND THE WORLD. My favorite travel agent, Sandy of You May Be Wandering really hit a home run with a recent post she did on all the newest hotel openings, both current and upcoming. It is quite a list and such a wealth of information, I had to share it with you in case you missed it or like to be up on the newest and greatest! Click here for the full post, well worth the read.

6. AN OFFICE MAKEOVER. My poor little home office is not much more than a room with four white walls, a big and very cluttered desk and a pretty rug. This poor room desperately needs to be made over. So this is but one of my home projects for 2015 and ideally sooner than later.

If I am going to keep the rug I will be working with pale greens/aquas and white which suites me fine, its crisp and clean. I am starting to look at fabrics and wallpaper just to get an idea of what direction I want to go in. Here is what I have come up with so far…..

7. LB ORIGINALS!? Got the cutest “thank you gift” from Laurie of LB Originals. I was so touched and wowed by this wonderful and totally unexpected thank you gift from super talented Laurie from LB Originals.

This darling blue and white porcelain card holder was filled with a big stack of the prettiest gift tags in three different colors, combining my two favorite things, chinoiserie and monograms! Plus how cute did she wrap it up? She is so talented and seriously just makes the prettiest things….had to share!! Click here to visit her lovely shop.

So that wraps it up for me…..anything here interest you? What’s new in your world? Anything catch your eye that you care to share? Tell me all about it! Wishing you a fabulous day and end to your weekend……
