chocolate bar wrappers, fun, her big girl pants, Instagram, Instagram Live, keep learning, laptop, live, Soma Chocolatemaker, widow

this morning I learned something new… well, a few things, lol… I wanted to watch my daughter in a Live on Instagram, and thought I would watch it on my laptop…

searched the internet and discovered I could download an app from the Microsoft Store so that I would be able to…

downloaded it, but of course there were no Lives happening in my feed and the time to watch was getting closer… by then I had both my phone and the app open, to be sure I wouldn’t miss it… just before she was to come on, someone else started a Live and I could see it on the computer screen… yay…

happily watched the presentation and then decided that I would follow the directions to make a pocket for the back of my Chocolate Notebook…

went to my chocolate bar box and looked for a wrapper to use… I don’t have many bars just now and no empty wrappers because I send them to my daughter who uses them for a number of things…

I found a Soma Twinkle Bar that I love and decided to use the back of the wrapper… it has the saying “travelling without moving” which seemed perfect, especially these days… I enjoy everything from Soma and not long ago put in an order with a friend to help with the shipping costs…

I put the washi tape into a regular scotchtape dispenser and it worked perfectly…

used mountain scape washi tape to go around the wrapper on the three sides, following the directions provided by Genevieve and then I added tape across the top, on the wrapper only, so that it looked framed!

it was fun to find a new way to see Instagram, although a bit stressful with the timing… and fun to make something…

Advent, Advent All Year, big girl pants, blessed, bonbons, breakfast, chocolate, family, food, memories, moments, Soma Chocolatemaker, taste buds, tasting, treat, widow

a few days ago I received my second Advent All Year parcel from my daughter… (here’s the story of the first one)…

in it were a beautiful handmade card; my favourite Raspberry Chocolate bar (including one for my grandson, who also loves it); and a box of bonbons she chose from a recent visit to Soma chocolatemaker… the box had the coolest extra packing paper as she mentioned she would be mailing it…

one thing I’ve learned from her is that great bonbons need to be eaten quickly before they expire… particularly when they are made with only fresh ingredients…

so, every morning I’ve been choosing one and eating it before I have my breakfast…

such a delicious way to start the day when my taste buds aren’t muddied with other flavours…

I am blessed;-)…

week…

A1C, big girl pants, black currant, bonbons, careful, chocolate, doctor, eating, Soma Chocolatemaker, stricter, the Chocolate Lab, week, widow

been a week since the conversation with the doctor about my A1C and how I need to work to get it down a bit…

happily we both agreed that I can do this with more control of my diet and without meds…

I think it was just the day before that visit that I ordered a bunch of chocolate from Soma Chocolatemaker and it arrived this week, lol…

one of the things I ordered was this blackcurrant flavour that I fell in love with after one of the Easter treats from my daughter… trying to figure out how I can have some without messing up the stricter eating plan…

one thing I did do was start cutting my wonderful Advent bonbons into quarters and just having one of them each morning… it has made me focus on the bite and I’ve really enjoyed the flavour of each one…

today I took the extra pieces and shared them with my colleagues;-)… made everyone happy…
