Hi there! I know I haven't been blogging very much lately...I seem to be having a little case of writer's block! (Or should I say "blogger's block"?!) But I'm here to wish you a very sweet weekend nonetheless! Mr. Pink Think and I plan to go to the movies and spend some quality time outside enjoying the sun. Have fun, no matter what you plan to do! P.S. Isn't pink cotton candy just so much fun? This picture is from brunch at The Langham Boston's "chocolate bar," which I highly recommend!
Hey y'all! (I can say that because my husband is from North Carolina, right?) Anyway, I'm totally loving my new TOMS, which I bought over the weekend. As usual, they're super comfy and pretty much go with everything. I still think they're the best shoes ever! Have you tried them yet? Happy Friday! I hope you have a wonderful weekend with the ones you love. (P.S. Looking for a fun new iPhone app? I just discovered Phonto, which allows you to add text to your photos directly from your phone!) Want to see my current favorite piece of jewelry? It's this super dainty and super cute ampersand ring! My husband gave it to me for Hanukkah, and I've been wearing it constantly. We sort of have a thing for ampersands...the symbol definitely shows up more than once in our apartment. (More like six times or so!) I had been coveting the handmade gold alphabet rings from Catbird for a few years and was so thrilled to receive one. It's so special to have two really unique rings from my husband—one on each hand! (P.S. Here's my left hand.) Good morning! It seems I've been on a once-a-week posting schedule lately...I guess sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging! It's hard to believe that it's almost the end of April (and that I've been married for six months already!). I'm so ready for spring and summer, aren't you? This year my husband and I decided to make a list of all the things we hope to do this summer, like go on an overnight beach trip and make fresh lemonade in our kitchen. Last year we were so busy with wedding plans that sometimes we forgot to enjoy the season! We also decided to stay in our apartment for another year to avoid moving this summer, so we've been adding a few little things to keep it fun and fresh. I've actually got my eye on this clever glass bowl—we always keep a dish of M&Ms in our living room, and I love how this bowl looks like a plastic baggie! (My husband and I like to say we "love things that look like other things!") What are some ways you plan to celebrate this sunny season? (Images from chiasso) Hi there! Over the weekend I was inspired to make my own granola to jazz up my daily yogurt. I followed this recipe, which turned out great—yummy, crunchy and not too sweet! I've been sprinkling it on my Greek yogurt for a really satisfying breakfast. If you love granola, it's definitely worth making! Hey there! Just stopping by to say hello. The past week has been busy with a lovely trip to Charlotte, N.C., to celebrate Passover with my husband's family. (Bonus: The weather was beautiful!) I hope you're doing well and enjoying spring wherever you are. It's a bit chilly and rainy in Boston today, but these spring cupcakes would be enough to cheer me up! Aren't they cute? (Image from Disney FamilyFun Magazine) Happy Monday! Did you have a good weekend? My parents came to visit, and on Saturday my mom and I baked this chocolate cake for an early birthday celebration. It was delicious—chocolatey, moist and perfect with whipped cream frosting! (And pretty easy to make, too.) P.S. The fabric cake toppers are from this shop on Etsy. One of my favorite things about Passover is chocolate-covered matzah. It's one of those unique once-a-year foods that a holiday just wouldn't be complete without (and every year my mom sends me a box of Streit's Dark Chocolate Egg Matzos to make sure I don't miss out!). I've never actually made my own, but these candied kumquat and toasted coconut confections may inspire me to try it for the holiday next week. (These chocolate caramel crackers also look amazing!) They would make great gifts for a seder host too, don't you think? I'm super excited for my afternoon snack—yummy chocolate chip cookies! My husband and I make this recipe frequently (without nuts) because the cookies always come out so darn good. Try it. You won't regret it! P.S. My new favorite kitchen tool is this cookie dough scoop. I've never owned one before, but as a total neat freak (even in the kitchen!), I've found that it makes baking just a little less messy! |
