Between those cookies...

...there is a blackberry ice cream!

You know that time between here and there?...
That time between the waiting, and getting there?... 
This next group of recipes is all about those things in between... 
Sometimes it is not just a beginning or just an end...
Sometimes it is really nice to take your time and enjoy what is in the middle of the moments...

So enjoy this "In between" set of recipes!

Between here and there...
a box of projects and friends!

Between here and there...
a smile and a lot of chocolate cookies!

Between here and there a sigh...

Mango? Banana?

Hard to choose...

So lets put them all together:)!! And next time that someone ask

don't forget to answer "both please"!

Next time someone tells you

 to look both ways before you cross...

ignore them!*

If you are crossing that street...

close your eyes and do it fast!*

Looking both ways

is overrated!

Look forward

and whatever you do...

don't look back!*

*note: this advices are really true and helpful if you are travelling to Vietnam! :)

Drink a coffee with me...

and help me unpack the bag of stories I've brought!

Back from the other side of the world...

With the taste of coffee in my head..

the taste of tea in my mouth...

and the taste of happiness in my heart!!!

sometimes the world is so small... and  we are not that different!

others the cultural wall is so big that no rope is big enough to climb those mountains...
...

but in the end of the day... we drink a coffee, we give each other a smile... 

we let the bike go in the wind... and in the end, all is alright...
here... or in the other side of the world! 

because when we put ourselves in the world,

 for sure he will find us!

and sometimes getting lost
give us an opportunity 
to find something!

Put some wine in my ice cream!

because we are into travel mode!

Hey girl put on your sandals!

Hey boy bring the sun glasses

Hey girl get the ice cream

Hey boy don't forget the wine!

the bags are packed... the smiles are on... the maps (don't need them!)

so we'll see each other again in a few weeks!

but until then... I hope you all eat a lot of ice cream!!!!

 hey boy

bring the smiles

hey girl

bring the ideas

hey boy

bring the music

hey girl

bring the magique

All about a birthday cake!

and how it should be!

I have this theory that a cake can't always be just a cake... especially if we are talking about a birthday one!

In that case, we should have lovely messages...  extra sugar...  extra candies... and extra cake!!!...

So we have to make it bigger and add all those extras :)...

and hopefully in the end, after all the clapping and singing, we get a big smile!

perfect :)!

♥
This one is all about big smiles...
About clapping hands...
About dancing feet...
About pretty girls...
About being a kid...
About presents...
About birthdays...
About making people feel special...
well..about feelling good for making someone special cakes!

Bring me a Pina Colada...

... at the end of the day!

Will it rain today?
ok, I don't care... if you bring me a Pina colada it is going to be a sunny day!

 hum...

is this going to be 

a good combination?....

ok, it will look like I'm working

it will look like I'm not thinking about it....

but today...

if you look closer, this is what 

its really happening :D!

Bring me a blueberry&tea cake...

... at the end of the day!

We close our eyes... 
We let the sun warm us up...
We let the wind flow between our fingers... and dreams just flow with that wind...

Today, I just want some cake at the end of the day... no music, no sounds, no dances... 
just bring me a blueberry&tea cake and the sweetness of the silence.

After 3 small weeks

this big one needs a cake...

keep it simple and sweet...

and life will bring you blueberries cakes

at the end of the day!

... she walks in slow motion...but time is still running!
