Last week's tea party was so much fun, and I really enjoyed hearing all of your responses, and learning some more about our little community here! This week we have some different questions to answer and I want to encourage you ladies to respond to each other's answers as well, and then we can really get a good chat going!!
1/ We'll start off with the same question. What did you order for our tea party?
2/ What is your biggest goal for this year?
3/ If you could spend an afternoon with anyone, who would it be and what would you do?
4/ Do you enjoy cooking and/or baking?
5/ Do you have a blog or shop? Leave the link here and we can all check each other out!
Here are my answers:
1/ I ordered a steamed apple juice!
2/ My biggest goal for this year has been getting myself into a real schedule. One that includes things that are good for my personal as well as professional life. More yoga, sleep, cooking, and time spent blogging.
3/ My boyfriend and I have both been pretty busy lately, so I would spend it with him. We would go for lunch downtown and then rent a movie and make dinner at home :)
4/ I am trying to learn to enjoy them! When I have the time and the tools, it's actually a lot more fun than I would have guessed! Just last night I baked some adorable mini pies that were super yummy.
5/ You're already here :)
I can't wait to read your responses. And don't forget to respond to each other and get the conversation going!!

This is REALLY fun :)
ReplyDelete1. I ordered green tea, Earl Green (actually drinking it just now).
2. My biggest goal for this year would be.. huuuuh! I don't think I have a biggest one, I have a lot of small one - be successful at the faculty, spend time with the loved ones, get a little more organized etc.
3. With my family! We'd barbecue and play games. :)
4. Yes, I'm loving it both! I enjoy it so much, it's kind of a meditation or relaxation for me. :)
5. Yes: http://www.tamarasblend.com/. :)
Hey!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I want to say that I love your blog!
1. I would order a Chai Latte. I love the different flavours and the smooth milk inside the dark strong tea.
2. My biggest goal for this year is to finish university and (hopefully) stat working in a management consultancy and to spend more time with my friends and family!
3. That's a difficult question.......I really don't know......
4. Oh I LOVE baking (and cooking)! To bake something is so relaxing. I like cooking too, but sometimes it's more stressful because of all the things you have to do during the week. I love to cook with my boyfriend or with friends - it's so much fun! My christmas cookie party is legendary :)
5. I have a blog: http://photography-happens.blogspot.com
1.) I ordered an iced vanilla latte!
ReplyDelete2.) My biggest goal for this year is to start handling my finances a little better. I am quite the shopaholic but I really need to start saving for the long run. I would love to get a car and pay off my student loan!
3.) Since I live far from my family, I would love to spend the day with my family and just show them what Alberta has to offer. I miss them so much!!
4.) I am a baker at heart, I love baking!! my dream would be to be a pastry chef! Lately I've been cooking more though! :) my boyfriend does most of the cooking.
5.) I do have a blog! It's called bornlippy and its at iambornlippy.blogspot.com
This was fun! haha xo
This looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it!! You're lucky that your boyfriend cooks! Mine does most of the fancy cooking haha.
ReplyDeletejoin in louisa! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this lovely blog tea party again, what a nice idea to get to know your readers :-)
ReplyDeleteHere are my answers:
1) I ordered Camomile tea - a must before bedtime every night
2) Biggest goal this year is to get my Etsy shop up and running & make a sale! I also want to find a better balance/schedule.
3) I would spend an afternoon with Twyla Tharp. I would ask if we could dance & discuss her book "The Creative Habit".
4) I love baking so much & regularly send the boyfriend to work with tins of my experiments.
5) I blog over at www.claireabellemakes.com about craft, baking and my home town of Cambridge, UK

Hello everyone! So nice to see you!!I hope you are all feeling fine and dandy!
ReplyDeleteHere are my answers!1/ What did you order for our tea party?CAKE!
2/ What is your biggest goal for this year? To be more productive with my time. Get everything I want to do done. Move forward toward my dreams rather than wasting my time and watching life fly by!!
3/ If you could spend an afternoon with anyone, who would it be and what would you do?Aside from my family and pets who I see all the time I would love to spend an afternoon with a bunch of like minded souls, people who are creative, some who are musical, some who arent. And we'd just have a grand old time having an afternoon tea party or a picnic inside. And just see where time takes us. (I love throwing a good shindig!!)
4/ Do you enjoy cooking and/or baking?
I love both. When I was little my uncle would let me into his kitchen and I could make what ever I wanted! I think that is where my love of baking and cooking started. I feel so calm and at ease when I do it. If I am stressed I will usually go and make a cake (or go for a run).
5/ Do you have a blog or shop? Indeed I do! my blog is called Lemonwood and Honey http://lemonwoodandhoney.blogspot.comAND really soon I will be opening up an online store which has been a goal of mine for ages!! But only this year I have managed to get things in some order and be more productive :)Oh Kendra! This is such a wonderful idea. I love it!!!And it was so much fun!
I've been trying to drink chamomile tea every night before bed as well.. it's so calming! I can't wait to see your etsy site, what will you be selling?? And I checked out your blog.. love the post about your bag and essentials! those are some of my favorites :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it Britney!! these answers are all so great, and I'm so thrilled that you are opening a shop!! can't wait to check it out!
ReplyDelete1. To start, I ordered a green tea with honey.
ReplyDelete2. My goal for 2012 is to finish all of my knitting projects that are on hold and to launch my new website that I am building from scratches. I mean, it's a lot of work to build a website and to write all the HTML yourself. I would also like to keep good grades in school!
3. I would love to spend the afternoon with my parents and siblings. I sometimes miss the family house since I moved in with my boyfriend a couple months ago ahah! I guess it would be an afternoon filled with family fun.
4. I love both! I am always up for a new kitchen challenge. Trying new food is almost a hobby!
5. I do have a blog : www.marie-lle.com
This was fun! Looking foward for the next one :)
xo

that's an amazing goal!! can't wait to see your site when it's all done! how is it living with your boyfriend? must be a bit of a change! :) and i love your blog.. thrilled to meet a fellow Canadian gal!
ReplyDelete1. I ordered a caramel apple spice, half sweet though!
ReplyDelete2. My biggest goal this year is to try to save my money so that I can travel soon in the future.
3. I would spend the afternoon with some of my family because I feel like I haven't seen them in a long time. Luckily they are coming for a visit this weekend so we'll probably wander around a hopefully sunny Vancouver for the afternoon.
4. As you know, I adore baking! But I like cooking a little less...
5. I don't have a blog but maybe I'll have to get one soon :)
you ordered a caramel apple spice and I ordered a steamed apple juice! just like the apartment hunting days :) get a blog and I'll design it for you! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat goals. The tea party looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe one I have is camomile and spice apple. It's scrummy! I am going to be selling fabric covered rings, coin purses and accessories. Thanks for stopping by to read my blog!
ReplyDelete1/ I ordered an iced chocolate, complete with whipped cream. Off to the gym for me tomorrow!
ReplyDelete2/ My biggest goal for this year is to get a high distinction in my university course.
3/ If I could spend the afternoon with anyone it would be my little sister. We live on different sides of the country and I miss her a billion. We'd go shopping and laze on the beach.
4/ I like looking at recipe books and online but I'm not very good at cooking, yet! I'm working on it though! I'm a big sweet tooth so look forward to cooking my own bickies and cakes.
5/ I run an online vintage store at www.facebook.com/Autumn.April.Vintage as well as my (very new!) blog www.bigandbeautifullife.blogspot.com.au
xx
I can agree with you on the finances thing! I'm just about to start a new job that pays alot more than my current one so hopefully I can get my butt into gear and start saving.
ReplyDelete1. It's super hot out here in Ontario today, so I ordered an iced caramel macchiato.
ReplyDelete2. I have two goals for the year. The first is to get accepted into my master's program in accounting, and the second is to get back into the gym. I've been slacking...
3. If I could spend the afternoon with anyone I'd spend it with my best friend Bailey. We live on opposite sides of the country now and it'd be nice to have a day with her.
4. I absolutely love cooking and baking (see 5).
5. I actually have a cooking blog http://happyandhectic.blogspot.ca/
1. a vanilla steamer. so yummy.
ReplyDelete2. to find a great job i love/ grow my blog and make it better.
3. a really great friend hanging out at my fave coffee shop and maybe add in some shopping.
4. i like to do both, but i feel i'm better at baking.
5. yes, i do have a blog! it's called goodheart and it's at http://danica-nicole.blogspot.com. :)
of course! oh wow, that's awesome! i can't wait to check it out! do you know when you'll be opening it??
ReplyDeletethat's so awesome that you run a vintage shop! how is it having a small business??
ReplyDeletei wish it was hot over on the west coast of the country!! your blog is adorable, btw!
ReplyDeleteyour blog is already amazing! vanilla steamers used to be my ultimate go-to! :)
ReplyDeleteThese tea parties are too cute!!
ReplyDelete1. I'm going to have a coffee and an orange juice (woo, drinks party!)
2. My goal for this year is to develop a better habit when it comes to saving - I'm nearly 23 and a girl has gotta learn how to save already... Despite the plethora of cute clothes out there!
3. I'd probably pick my boyfriend too. He works weird hours, and I work Monday to Friday, so an uninterrupted afternoon to drink coffee and wander around town would be lovely.
4. I love baking and cooking but hate cleaning up afterwards!! Oh how I wish I had a full time cleaner to do all that for me ;-)
5. No blog or shop, yet.. I'm in the process of starting a blog but haven't actually put anything on there yet... I will soon though!! I've just got to bite the bullet and do it already.
A Vanilla Steamer? That sounds delicious... I don't know if we have those in Aus!
ReplyDeleteChallenging! I'm not making enough money yet that I can quit my fulltime job, but I love the fashion, the products and the idea of it so much that it doesn't really bother me!
ReplyDeleteI ordered an english breakfast tea, strong but milky, with only a tiny bit of sugar :)
ReplyDeleteMy biggest goal is to move out of living in a flat with three other people and my boyfriend, and find a place that is just for us. We recently had a visa scare which meant that he could end up being deported - things are fine now, but it has encouraged us to try and live our lives a bit more fully, because we still can and don't have to leave the country {hooray!}
I would spend an afternoon with my best friends, and we would go swimming in the lake and have a bbq. I only get to see them about once a year, and we always have the most fun going to the cottage.
I really enjoy making macaroni and cheese, mostly because I can eat it by the bucket full. But I recently bought the Little Paris Kitchen cookbook and I'm looking forward to trying to make some madelines filled with lemon curd.
I do have a blog called Nishaantishu, but forgive the mess, it's going through a redesign at the moment http://nishaantishu.blogspot.co.uk/
thanks kendra! your blog is really awesome! btw, i love these tea parties.
ReplyDeletethey are so good! it's pretty much just steamed milk with flavoring. so they usually have a million flavors, like strawberry, blueberry, etc. i tend to go for vanilla or cinnamon. so yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteI missed the first tea party so thought I'd jump on board for the 2nd one before you publish the 3rd week.
ReplyDelete1. I'd order an English breakfast tea (PG Tips) since I'm missing it ever so since being in Canada
2. My biggest goal for this year was travelling to Canada and finding somewhere to settle down out here. My fiancé and I are half way to completing this. Currently travelling west to then go back to the area we most felt at 'home'
3. My Mum. Skype is great for staying in touch while travelling but it's just not the same. Mum hugs are so much better for real. There are some things the Internet can't replace.
4. I love to cook and bake. Looking forward to getting out of hotels and getting our own place here with a kitchen. Will have to get use to the Canadian metrics for measuring
5. agirlsimagination.com
my blog about our travels, my passions and things that inspire me (posts are a little speckled whilst we are unsettled at the moment, bear with me :) )
Lovely to meet you.
Lauren
