I am so sorry that I skipped last week's finds. I've been extremely busy with my Business of Photography class, webinars, extra credit programs, and simply just trying to get everything together.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday-filled week, regardless of which holidays you celebrate. It's been hectic for me this week. I hope everyone else has had it pretty calm. I'm also sooooo sorry that there's more in this list than usual. (not really, honestly). I just couldn't help myself! There were soooo many finds this week that I couldn't leave out.

1. I am seriously wanting this cookbook* so bad. Not only do the recipes sound absolutely delicious but the whole thing is just so aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.
2. Speaking of cookbooks, here's another one that even Elijah Wood recommends*. If an actor that portrays a hobbit recommends something, you know it's damn-near irresistible. (but I mean, let's be real here, look at the name of the book...it was totally written for hobbits)
3. If you read my about page and my Small Changes introduction, then you know how badly I want a house with white walls. This post is the most inspirational one I've seen so far about simple white living.
4. I'm literally a mushroom fanatic. These sausage-stuffed mushrooms look so heavenly!
5. I found the cutest baby clothing at this site I came across. (I believe I found it through Bleubird, but I can't remember for sure)
6. Christmas may be over, but Winter has just begun. Here's an article on how to beat the Winter blues.
7. I've been holding on to this one for awhile, but it's so worth sharing. It's an article on the best VSCO Cam filters, though I personally only use a6, f1, and f2.
8. So now that Christmas is over, you can enjoy New Year's Eve/Day with this gluten-free rum cake! Know what would go good with it? Wine. Or rum. Or in my case, Welch's Sparkling White Grape Juice. (I'm literally not anti-alcohol, just a tradition since I was little and it's stuck with me)
9. I'm dying to try this gingerbread latte.
10. And this veggie soup, omg.
