Intentions for the Week
Intentions for the Week- Week 50 in 2021
Happy Monday, friends!
It’s raining here. We’ve got a leaking roof (OOF!) and there’s so much to get done in the next few weeks before we close out the year. I’ll keep this short! Here are my Intentions for the Week!
My Everyday Life Week 49
Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 49
I made a wreath from some of our redwood trees this week!
I also used my dehydrator to dry some oranges that were going bad.
I think I am going to use them in my gift wrapping.
This week I shared Espresso Vanilla Liqueur recipe
I also deep cleaned my kitchen! And it’s messy again!
Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas
Hello, magic makers! Are you in need of new Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas? I’ve got you covered!! After sharing recipes on Shutterbean for 14 years, these are my faves!
Honey Candied Walnuts
Tell your friends these walnuts are great on salads because we need the encouragement and reminders to balance out all of the cookies and stuff with greens!
I’m thinking they would be perfect in a beet salad.
Granola Bark
I sure would be happy for a batch of granola bark. Perfect for breakfasts and afternoon snacks.
Roasted Rosemary Almonds
Your friends will be happy they have your almonds to put out on their New Year’s Eve cheese board!
Classic Gingerbread Cookies
A fun activity to do with kiddos!

Espresso Vanilla Liqueur
My mom used to call strong coffee “jet fuel.” After tasting this batch of Espresso Vanilla Liqueur, I think this is pretty much that!
It’s basically cold brew coffee made with vodka (instead of water!) that’s flavored with vanilla, a stick of cinnamon, and some simple syrup to sweeten the deal.
How can you use the Espresso Vanilla Liqueur?
- boozy milkshakes/frappe
- add to your coffee
- espresso martini
- pour a shot over ice cream
- use it to make tiramisu
If you’re looking for a last-minute homemade gift, this one is good. You need 2 days to complete the task.
I made some for my coffee-loving friends this holiday season!

We are getting closer to the end of the year. YIKES! This is how I like to start the New Year right! I am going to read through all of that and see how ready I am. This weekend I caught up on work, cleaned house, did meal prep (YAY!), and helped Cooper make an advent wreath for school.
