SOME RANDOM THINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR ON THANKSGIVING MORNING!

Apple peeler, corer and slicer from William Sonoma
1. My new apple peeler corer slicer from William Sonoma – cut down on apple prep time for apple pie making by a million times. Love it!

Besides being truly thankful for my amazing family and great friends, here are 5 very random things I am thankful for on Thanksgiving morning 2009. Photos all taken during my baking marathon today.

3. My new mixer by Cuisinart also from William Sonoma – Before I bought this mixer yesterday, I was mixing everything by hand; I would spend hours stirring and mixing and mashing things as if I was cooking in the 19th century. This made Thanksgiving pie prep so much easier!

Homemade sweet potato pie
4. Sweet potato pie is done – Thanks Auntie J. for filling me in on some baking tips this morning over the phone!

5. How clueless my dog is at times – makes me laugh. I saw this going on outside my kitchen window this morning. Notice the neighbor’s cat right above him – he certainly didn’t!

Now am off to my sister’s house for a lovely Thanksgiving filled with family and cheer. Hope you are having a great day!

    That apple pie – one of my favourites – looks scruptious! And I love the look on the cat’s face, peaking over the plant 🙂

    Mr. B you are truly adorable – but that aside – what are the gorgeous blue stones that are inbetween your slate slabs? I love that look!

    Hi Lori! Thanks for the pie compliment. Cat is not mine…belongs to the neighbor. Clueless one, the dog, is mine…hmmmmm…wonder if that is telling at all?

    Linda, think these are just river rocks. Don’t know really. They seem to miraculously disappear each year and each year I tell the gardener, “Can you please bring in some of those rocks…whatever they are…”. I’ll ask the gardener. Please stand by! xo

    Sooo funny about your dog….it seems my dogs are the opposite, they ALWAYS know where my neighbors cats are. I don’t know how they DO it! :)))))

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
