my manifesto

I believe...
...that the kitchen is the heart of the home
...in butter
....that it's the smallest and simplest things that take up the most room in your heart
...in baking
...in burning and learning
...in family
...in dessert. always.
...in art
...in second bites and second tries
...in lists
...in a good playlist
...in my instincts
...that love is always the question and always the answer 
...in slow food and home cooked meals 
...in good wine
...in girlfriends
...in Nutella 
pughs-news:

via junkgarden
...in picnics and road trips
...that food tastes better if you have good thoughts while you're making it
...in good posture and clean hair
...in singing at the top of your lungs
...in handwritten letters
...in magic
...in gratitude 
...in tickle trains {girls you know what I'm talking about}
...in pooches
...that everything feels better after an english breakfast tea with milk
...in pancake Saturdays
...in game nights
...in tradition 
... that one day I'll have a family of my own
...in George Clooney. duh.

What are some of the things that you believe in?

p.s. the premiere was fab but no pics... it was the usual no camera policy.. boo... either way, go see Frankie and Alice.  Aside from Halle's amazing performance {what's new though} the story alone will knock your socks off!

  2. Love this list, almost lol when i saw FB's answer! In Greece they have an equivalent to Nutella and it's called Merenda, I still think Nutella's better but the man thinks otherwise.

    Anyhow I believe in Peanut Butter, lazy weekends and online shopping!

  3. You had me at Nutella and Butter! I could have written this list (except I don't drink tea, even with a British mother go figure). My list would seriously have almost all these things on it, I would include manners and thank you notes, laughing every day, taking naps, that you don't have to like or be liked by everybody - just move on. Geez, this could go on forever so I'll stop. I loved your post.

  9. YES! I believe in all this too! I was just telling George last night. I said, "George Clooney, I believe in you." And he was like, "yeah, I know, stop talking and kiss me." And the rest I can't talk about because he's "in a relationship" and I'm "married" but whatever. ; )

    Smoky Mountain Christmas plays on CMT around xmas time. Check it out! lol

  12. Yay to picnics, roadtrips, and pooches. Actually I like the whole list :)

  13. I believe in handwritten thank you notes..actually mentioning the gift that you thoughtfully purchased for the honoree. If I get one more generic picture with "thank you for your generous gift"......Am I the only one annoyed by that? Maybe so.
    Great post:)

  21. Yes, yes and yes, to every single one. I also believe in my high notes (as an opera singer, I just have to!) and the power of "please", "thank you" and a smile!

  26. what a fabulous list!

    i share many things on this list: the belief in art, wine, friends, picnics, handwritten notes, and eating a different breakfast on weekends to make them special...

    i would magnify your manifesto of second tries to tenacity. if i didn't persevere, i would achieve little because i'm not a natural at many things...

  27. Great list! Agreed totally with baking, art, and love.

    keeping hope alive is an important one.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog - yes I love Northern Indian food and the restaurant I posted about is so far one of my fave Indian restaurants in the world! Hope to see you again and have a good week!

  28. I believe that I adore this lovely post. We also have similar beliefs in dessert, clean hair, Nutella, and above all, love.

  29. i'm so glad you stopped by my blog so i could find your blog! it's so beautiful and fun and great! plus, we're neighbors {well, we live in the same city at least}, and my husband's family is from australia. look at all the things we have in common. :) seriously, though, it's great to meet you, blogger style.

    i love manifestos. i find them incredibly inspiring and i've thought about creating one of my own, but haven't taken the time yet. yours is pretty great. i especially agree with art, a good playlist, girlfriends, nutella, and pooches! i also believe in nuzzling a sturdy beard, being wrapped up in scarves, and that laughter IS the best medicine.
