In 2018, let’s do MORE.
Let’s laugh and explore and play and eat and drink and create MORE.
Let’s forget about moderation and minimalism, even though they’re in vogue at the moment.
Instead, let’s bake and cook and sew and grow MORE than we need so that we have plenty to SHARE.
Let’s build our communities and break bread together.
And let’s find more TIME, for ourselves and for others. Time to sit and be quiet inside our own heads. Time to marvel at the wondrousness around us. Time to be kind…and time to LOVE each other more.
Happy New Year! ♥
Yes please! Here’s to enjoying all the things. It’s good to be creative. <3
Happy New Year! A lovely picture! I agree wholeheartedly with your wise words, Celia! Here’s to joining you in doing more this year. (I just took some freshly baked bread out of the oven.)
Happy New Year Celia to you and your beloved family! Me too, yes please! To all you have said . . . . well, to be honest with myself, I don’t think baking bread will quite be in the equation for me . . . . but all else . . . .
Thank you for your very inspiring message. Happy new year to you and your family.
Happy new year, Celia. I love your message. Having more time for ourselves and for others is something I think is really at the heart of a happy life. May 2018 be a lovely year for you. Meg:)

Happy New Year Celia! Lovely post.
I discovered your blog last year and I’ve really enjoyed following along.
Sounds wonderful! Happy New Year!
Hear, hear! Happy New Year from Maine as we await a “Bomb Cyclone” coming up the coast. Never a dull moment. ;)
Sounds a good plan to me. Also, I shall abandon any notion of perfectionism (not a hard thing for me to do). Happy New Year my friend.
Bravo ♡ In 2018 I plan to continue enjoying the creativity that comes with doing more with less!
Thank you for being you!!
Wishing you a most wonderful new year, dear Celia.x
Happy New Year. Thank you for all you wonderfully inspiring posts
Happy New Year to you and yours, Celia. Love your wonderful generosity and community-mindedness. It’s definitely going to be a year to bake and break bread and biscuits, muffins (”And cookies – please cookies”, says my cookie monster husband).
In the lead-up to Christmas I discovered oh so many projects that are waiting for me and since it is not only snowing again, but is also very cold (-38 Celsius yesterday) I really have no excuse for not getting into them. I just have to gather up my scattered self and start.
Have a wonderful year and please please keep up the great photos.
“Here here!” Ms Celia.
Best wishes for a glorious love filled happy New Year.
:-) Mandy xo
Happy New Year Celia! I love your spirit. Minimalism doesn’t look so bad when i have just finished cleaning out a home that we have lived in for 27 years. Have a wonderful 2018 full of health and happiness.
You are such an inspiration Celia. Honestly. Thank you.
This sounds like a very good plan! Happy New Year!
A friend recently recommended your blog to me for your bread making posts(which are inspiring) but I am loving reading so many of your other posts as well. Thank you very much for all the knowledge you have shared so freely.
Thank you for inspiring words Celia. Wonderful to read and take on. May they continue to shower over you and Pete and the boys throughout 2018.
Happy New Year Celia! I second your inspirations!
I just found your blog from a comment you left on the shady bag.
Thank you, this post makes my heart sing, and I’m going to follow your instructions for beeswax wraps
Cheers Kate.
