happy weekend!

{what weekends are made of. bug viewing on the porch}

hey all! enjoying this pretty sweet weather? unfortunately we havent been out too much with my little gal being sick. i am hoping summer will be the end of sick kids for a while. one week until summer…man i can not wait!

any fun weekend plans? we are having a yard sale which the kids are pretty pumped about. declan will be selling bugs and things, so come visit us and bring your pennies. hope to see some of you there/here!

here are some fun links for your weekend viewing:

im thinking this salmon that say yes mentions makes for a perfect warm weather dish. looks amazing right?

umm, woah! these s’mores brownies. can not wait to give these a try. maybe a fun alternative to birthday cake.

this book is on my wish list. im so intrigued. its a topic heavy on my mind.

ive always loved the idea of giving your home a beachy feel even if you do not live near the water. its all about the vibe you create, right?

these travel bags would be so perfect for summer adventures.

who doesnt love flowers. one of my favorite local shops has the best fresh flower happy hour every friday afternoon. perfect way to start the weekend!

cheers to the weekend!

hello monday.

hey all. i thought i would share some fun inspirations

 of late with you all. hope you had a wonderful weekend. 

i had some good times doing a cupcake photo shoot 

involving icing made with crisco...never again my friends. 

greasy slimyness is not my friend. 

next time we're sticking to the real deal.

so here are some fun links to enjoy. happy monday to you!

this grown up birthday party looked pretty awesome...esp those spoons!

i recently made this icebox cake and had rave reviews...i would 

love to try a lemon cream version on my own, soon. 

i found some really sweet kids room inspiration here.

and i also love this woven gift wrap tutorial and thought it

would be fun to try with metallics and fluorescents

for the holidays.
