 Just a few things I've been inspired by this week:

• Amy's You Tube channel - I've never been a huge fan of You Tube (I just didn't get the appeal), but now I'm totally obsessed.
• I've been getting Ali's monthly kits for several months now, but I think October's is my favorite.
• This post by Andie really hit home for me. 
• The Awesome Ladies Project is back!
• Elise's latest weaving makes me want to stop, drop and weave.
• I'm making this pesto tonight. Such a great way to use up all of our extra farm greens.

Have a great weekend!

• I still haven't fully recovered from this.
• All of this year's December Daily kits (all available for pre-order here) look amazing. I was going to order the Ashley G one (it's totally my style), but I opted to just make my own from my ridiculous pile of craft supplies.
• I finally gave in and ordered Elise's Get to Work Book. I'm hoping to mainly use it for project management in 2016.
• Speaking of Elise, her post last week about roots and growth really hit home. I had such a similar experience while we lived in Dallas a few years ago.
• I've been doing quite a bit of walking since the kids have started school. While walking, I used to listen to my fast-paced playlists but lately, I'm gone back to podcasts. Now I can't stop. I'll have a post with all of my favorites at a later date, but right now I can't get enough of Maddy Moon.
• I'm also OBSESSED with Fixer Upper. Chip and Joanna are adorable and I absolutely love her style.

Have a great weekend!

• My daughter, Laury,n is on the young side, but I might go ahead and enroll her in Jessica Sprague's Photoshop for Kids course. It looks like a great way to introduce kids to Photoshop and digital scrapbooking!
• If you live in/near The Pacific Northwest, you have to check out Tina + Kelly's workshop in Portland. I wish I could go, but the timing just doesn't work out for me.
• Liz Tamanaha never ceases to amaze me. Her new Project Life kit looks absolutely amazing!
• I think it's time I said goodbye to Stitch Fix. They've tried their hardest, but they just can't seem to fit my Plus Size + Tall frame properly. Booo.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

• I finally jumped on the Birkenstock bandwagon. I have no idea why I waited so long; they're easily the best shoes I've ever owned. I can't wait to buy another pair next summer.
• Have you guys seen Trainwreck yet? I went this week with a few friends. HILARIOUS.
• I can't wait to see this.
• Ever since buying a Happy Planner this Spring, I've gone a little planner crazy. I'm working my way through this class and I'm completely obsessed! 
• I've been striving for the perfect smoothie bowl.

Have a great weekend!

Just a few things this week:

• I took my little ones to see Inside Out today. Such a sweet movie! It was a little complicated though; most of it went over Michael's head (age four), but I have a feeling Lauryn (age seven) and I will be talking about it for some time.
• Have any of you tried the TwoGrand food tracking app? I installed it earlier this week and will probably do a Wellness Wednesday post on it sometime next month. I'd love to know your thoughts if you're using it. 
• I LOVE this thank you printable from Elise!
• My friend Kristin just announced the launch of Find Your Voice 2.0; a FREE six-week storytelling workshop. I didn't get a chance to take it when she offered it 2 years ago, so I'm super excited to do so this summer!

Happy Weekend!

• I don't make desserts very often (like, never), but this just might get me baking.
• Cauliflower grilled cheese? Yes, please.
• I found this recipe on Pinterest the other day, can't wait to make it! Check out the gorgeous, new (to me) blog while you're over there.
• I just picked up this book at the library. I'm hoping I have time to crack it open tonight
• Planning on taking a trip during Spring Break (I think we are)? Kelly Purkey is offering a mini-book mini workshop over at Destination Documented. I think I'll take it as a mini-book refresher.
• Anyone else caught up in March Madness? Michael and I have been watching as much basketball as possible this week. My brain might explode today, as the Women's tournament has officially started too :)

• My husband travels extensively for business (often to Europe). The kids and I are really hoping to tag along at some point. I've bookmarked Stephanie's Air BNB post so we'll be prepared.
• Speaking of travel, I adore Kelly's new venture. Genius.
• Liz Tamanaha does it again. Just amazing!
• Vanessa's minibook makes me want to stop everything right now an make one.
• I'm literally stalking my doorstep for my first Messy Box. I was on the notification list for months, so I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Have a great weekend everyone! I hoping for a little rest and crafty time :)

• I took my little ones to see Big Hero 6 on Veteran's Day. I was worried that they'd be scared (especially Michael, who just turned 4), but they LOVED it. In fact, Lauryn is already requesting it on DVD. If you have littles ones, I'd recommend seeing the standard showing rather than 3D (which can be a little overwhelming).
• I started thinking about how I was going to tackle documenting the holiday season (I'll share more next week-ish), but Jamaica's December Daily plan stopped me in my tracks. SO GOOD.
• I'm fairly certain I'll be making this dip for our neighbors' annual Christmas party. Yum!
• TOMS + Target? Yes, please.
• Speaking of, Amy Poehler's "Yes, Please" is a must read for chicks (and for dudes who like strong chicks).
• Have you guys seen the all the new holiday stuff at Starbucks (especially The Dot Collection)? I'm going to need at least 3 or 4 new mugs!

Have a great weekend everyone!

friday faves | around the web

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! My husband is out of town but I spent the day with sweet Michael, who brought this home from school yesterday:

I also have a few surprises planned for my little ones for tonight. My goal is to keep it sweet and low key :)

+ Jamaica released her latest minibook cover. Neon pink acrylic? Yes, please :)

+ A little excited about this...as if I need another reason to run to Target

+ I've been gobbling this salad up all week long. I'm thankful that Trader Joe's has a bagged salad (they call it Cruciferous Crunch Collection) that is perfect for this recipe.

+ My friend Kristin has set 29 goals to focus on before she turns 29 next year. I just love her outlook on live.

+ You guys have to check out Elise's new business venture. I've always been a big fan of hers, but I think   now I'm a super fan. Of course, I'm excited for her but I find myself in deep thought. I've been itching to make some changes in my creative/business life. I haven't sorted out all of my thoughts/feelings yet, but I'm definitely feeling inspired. Big time.

+ Don't forget to register for 30 Days of Lists! I'll be sharing my plans for documenting my 30 Days next week.

Have a good one!

five on friday

 

1. Natty's use of magazines to create her own Project Life cards is super inspiring.

2. I'd LOVE this H&M duvet for Lauryn's room. Adorable (as is most of their new kids' decor collection).

3. While I was sick, I caught up on the current season of The Good Wife. So good.

4. My kids have been very picky eaters lately. I plan on changing this up in the kitchen next week with Lemon Chicken Thighs (a new-to-me recipe) and Korean Beef. I actually made Korean Beef about 18 months ago when we were in Texas. Everyone loved it, so I have no idea why I haven't made it since.

5. 30 Days of Lists will be back in March! Pre-registration opens on Monday, February 10. The first 400 Listers to register will be automatically entered into a drawing to win a $100USD Etsy gift card. Make sure you're on the official mailing list!

Have a great night!
