Friday Faves
Hey there! Happy weekend!! How about some awesome links for your perusal? This cornbread is the best I’ve ever tried. I literally had a moment of silence when I tasted my first bite.

my new pallet shelf
I teased you in January that we had a bit of a DIY project in the works. Without further ado, meet my new pallet shelf: I was completely inspired by this picture from Ana White and thought I could make this with actual pallets because hello…free wood.

let’s review, shall we? :: february 2015
Happy almost-March! February has been a good, full month. I’m really working to enjoy the cold weather, even though a part of me can’t wait for WARM!

Let’s not even talk about the spasms that happen when I actually go outside. First, I’d have to actually…

Storage Bin Options {for Kallax/Expedit}
I mentioned on facebook that I was crushing on the 16 cube Kallax system from Ikea: Post by Brown Sugar Toast. My goal is to get something to replace a small bookshelf {that is overloaded with books} & changing table/storage unit in my kids’ room.

Love Means Sacrifice
Last week, I diverged from my normal ‘2 choices for breakfast’ routine and made scones for breakfast. I love scones – despite the work they take to make. And I knew my kids would love them too. Except that halfway into breakfast when I felt like a parrot repeating, “Take a bite. Take a bite.…
