wear.make.do.

wear this sweet summery look and be off to the beach for goodness sakes!
make  some super soft and gooey cinnamon rolls for friends and family.
do go watch this video on the swing project....instant chills and happiness; i assure you.

for the love of coffee.

i admit it.

i am a bit of a coffee snob.

my most recent favorite spot

for super duper delicious coffee

is royal at the biltmore.

just as good as royal at the market,

but closer to my house.

good, good stuff.

who knew.

an entire maleness blog. 

i guess i don't tend to wander in that direction

but i couldn't stop gazing at all the great photos.

in need of some pop's day inspiration? go check it.

in bed.

if i could afford it,

i would get my favorite dad

a fancy new bike.

and his kids would insist

it be orange.

this awesome mini apothecary jar, 

paired with a ridiculous note:

'you light our fire.'

{from magpie and rye}

this cup and saucer
for the tea or coffee drinking pop.

wear.make.do.

wear a simple, breezy black dress.  or sew one up yourself, as i think i might give this one a go myself...

make this amazing strawberry rhubarb pie from this month's martha stewart.  it is hands-down the very best pie i have ever tasted.  serve with homemade whipped cream and you'll be in for a treat.

do create something lovely by putting paper through your sewing machine.  if you've never tried sewing paper, i dare you.  it will open up a whole new world to that crafty side of you.

let's take this outside.

i can't help but feel this way about everything lately.

i want to eat all our meals outdoors,

play all games outside,

and lay around reading

with nothing else to distract us.

while i can't spend all my time outside,

i do try to take advantage of any

little snack being turned into

an impromptu picnic.

give it a try.

it will make your whole day feel perfect.
