happy monday :)

beautiful.

found this on pinterest. so beautiful, had to share :)

Why the wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger:

The Chinese give a beautiful explanation to this. The thumb represents your parents. The index finger represents your siblings. The middle finger represents yourself. The ring finger represents your life partner. The little finger/pinky represents your children. Hold your hands together like the picture. Join your middle fingers back-to-back, and the remaining fingers tip-to-tip. Now, try to separate your thumbs. They will separate because your parents are not destined to live with you forever. Rejoin your thumbs and separate your index fingers. They will separate because your siblings will have their own families and lead their own lives. Rejoin your index fingers and separate your little fingers/pinkies. They will separate because your children will grow up, get married, and settle down. Rejoin your little fingers/pinkies and try to separate your ring finger. They will not be able to separate because your life partner is meant to be with you throughout your entire life, through thick and thin.

happy weekend! xoxo

homemade waffles.

goal? make more homemade recipes!
 i LOVE to bake, however, i am often times so excited for the finished product that i skip homemade 'from scratch' recipes & head for a premade box recipe...
not anymore! from now on, I am on the search for delicious recipes that don't involve betty crocker or in this case.. aunt jemima!

waffles. yummmm! here is a recipe i found on pinterest that looks oh so delicious :)

THE PERFECT WAFFLE

2 Eggs (separated)

2 cups flour (sifted)

3 tsp. or 1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

3 Tablespoons sugar

2 cups milk

1 Tablespoon vanilla

6 Tablespoons shortening

Cut shortening into flour, baking powder, salt and sugar that have been sifted together. Use a pastry cutter, or just a fork. Cut the shortening into the flour until blended well. Beat the egg yolks, vanilla and milk together; add to the flour mixture, and beat with blender until combined. Beat the egg whites until stiff, and then gently fold into batter. You may add raspberries, huckleberries etc, to this batter before pouring into waffle maker.
