Simply easy DIYs for a Simple Wonderful Weekend

|

Sometime in my life I started appreciating pink and shades there of. (I personally think it was sometime around when little E was born – people can’t help but get little girls pink clothes despite the protests of this mother). Recently I’ve realized that this initial tolerance turned into appreciation and more lately it seems I really like it! Not a lot of it, grant you – but pops. 

Below, you’ll notice this trend throughout these photos. C’est la vie.

The weekend is here and it’s beautiful again. I shall be taking deep sips of the above drink and relaxing on my porch while I soak up the fresh air. What are your weekend plans, lovelies?

Going Basket Crazy

|

This may seem a little random, but I’ve been obsessing over fruit baskets lately.

Sometime over this weekend, I spotted one that I adored and thus began the etsy search for the best fruit basket around.

The two kinds I really like are the hanging baskets and the tiered stands. Now, the tiered stands are typically used for cakes but I think using them to store and display fruit would be a really nifty use, too.

How do you store your fruit? We have a basket now, but I think we need one a little bigger with a little more visibility. Warmer days mean more fruit eating for us!

Hello! I am still alive & crazy about DIY!

I know it’s been a while but I did mention that it might take me a while to get back into the blogosphere after starting back into the 9-5 grind, didn’t I? 😉

Well, I’m back now, so here we go.

Picture One: I’m totally in love with this picture of my little E. She has gotta be the most tenacious, strong willed little girl I know. Since I’m back to working full time, I’ve realized just how much I enjoy being with her, watching her grow and learn and be the most amazing person in the world.

Picture Two: I know I’ve shared this photo-quote before, but it is definitely my daily mantra these days. (I’m so sad to report that I can’t find the original link right now.)

Picture Three: This St. Patties Day themed cake is so past due, but ohmygawh, isn’t the prettiest and tastiest-looking thing?

Picture One: I really, really adore backdrops, and really pretty, frilly ones especially. But the texture of this is to dyi for – har har. I would seriously decorate my apartment with this!

Picture Two: So I’ve made dough ornaments before but I’ve never tried my hand at magnets. Same concept, just a different use.

And Picture Three: Ok, so it seems like I may be really jonesing for something sweet, eh? These beautifully-colored doughnuts should be in my tummy. Now.

So I hope you’re still around, friends, because I really appreciate you stopping by. It’s nice to have some company to talk about the pretty, precious things in life.

Have a fabulous day! ❤
