I totally forgot to publish my “lately” post yesterday because Mikey and I were driving up to my parents place in Wisconsin. We are up here for the weekend to hang out and relax in the beautiful Fall weather. I hope you had a great week and are enjoying your weekend so far 🙂 I spent lots of time baking last week and can’t wait to share a delicious cake with you next week!

It’s time for hot chocolate and homemade marshmallows. I promise to make some and share the goodness with you.

Mikey and I are looking for a way to bring more light to our stairwell. I love this hanging fixture but wonder if Norman will think they are toys hung just for him? I seem to always find myself back at this website…I love all the ideas and the inspiration I find at Houzz.com

 

Sooooo this counts as breakfast, right? Granola…apples…I just discovered this blog, immaeatthat and not only do I love the name…I love the tasty food and pictures too!

 

 

I don’t know what I want more…the shoes or the legs? The DISC Journal wins my vote for most inspiring Tumblr.

 

 

I can’t believe this sweatshirt exists. I really think I need it. It’s from this fantastic website, PLASTICLAND. They have super random gifts and clothing (great for Halloween costumes!).

 

This week has been cold and rainy in Chicago.  I am feeling desperate for some warm, summer-like weather so I can sit outside and sip a nice cold beverage!  These links below are helping me get through my mid week rut and I hope they do the same for you!

Apartment Therapy shares their Guide to the Perfect Summer. Such fun ideas for an outdoor party or creating a fun outside living space!

 

This Pineapple Coconut Champagne Cocktail looks like a thing that needs to happen asap.

 

My favorite artist of all time Mark Ryden…Someday I will own one of his pieces. How I would narrow it down enough to choose just one I do not know! Click under “Paintings” to browse his gallery.

 

 

At home Cheese Making? Ok!

 

I have had my eye on this Golden Skull mug by Kuhn Keramik for some time now. So beautiful!

 

I thought these Mini Banana Split’s from I Heart Nap time were a super fun idea for the 4th of July!

 

I have decided to share a weekly update of the blogs, photos, products, music and foods that I’m in love with or currently obsessing over. Whether that be a fun craft idea, delicious drink or hilarious picture of a cat…I feel like it will be a great way to show you a bit more about me and the things that inspire my blog.

I AM SO GLAD IT’S FRIDAY! My brother and his wife are on their way to Chicago as we speak and I can’t wait to spend the weekend with them! We are trying a new Korean BBQ place for dinner tonight and then heading to the Riviera Theatre to see one of my favorite bands of all time, Nickel Creek. So. Excited.

I hope you enjoy these links as much as I do! Have a great weekend!

1. Love everything about this look from  the calivintage blog!
