Happiness: Travel

I recently went away for a beach vacation with my 16 month old and had an adventure. A little travel always does a body good. Here's a little inspiration for you via Pinterest. Doesn't it make you want to go somewhere fun in the sun? -Callie

Let's Get Crafty: Painted Jars

I am so excited to share this easy and CHEAP DIY from Diary of A Mod Housewife. With a little paint and some glass jars (think pickle, jam, mayo jars), you have instant color for a small bouquet of flowers. I also love how the shape of the jar is accented, creating texture to the design. Easy peasy -Callie

This Just In: Oh Joy! Teaspoon Set

I love these teaspoons created by the one and only Joy Deangdeelert Cho of Oh Joy!. Pre-order now from Leif to be delivered in May. These would be fun for an ice cream party or a decorative element in the kitchen. My favorite is the citron color! -Callie 

Yummy: Beautiful Layers {Veggie Burger}

If the photography isn't enough, the recipe from V.K. REES Photography looks mouth watering. Veggie burgers are my go-to dinner meal and really easy to make. The flavor with the avocado and onion is a great combination, too. Once again, loving the colors in this burger and finding inspiration in each and every layer for my home (red onion for a wall color!). -Callie 

Blog Bling: Pretty Patterns

One of my favorite blogs, Creature Comforts, has some great patterns to use for blog backgrounds, desktops or wherever you want to get creative. These are my favorites but check out her blog post for more! -Callie 

Rainbow Chaser: Neon Yellow

After seeing this bright pantry door on Willow Decor, I am inspired to paint my own pantry door. Check out the gray cabinets and marble countertop - perfect color combination for the kitchen. Happy Rainbow Chasing! -Callie  

Happy Friday + Relaxing Under The Sun

I don't know about you, but I am glad it's Friday. This week has been a long one filled with all things baby! My little girl is almost 16 months (how the time flies). We have been having so much fun exploring in the garden, going to the park and smelling flowers (she also tries to eat them!).

I leave you with this photo of what I'll be doing this weekend - sneaking in a sun-filled and much needed nap like this lovely lady via Pinterest. Happy Friday my lovely readers. -Callie 

The Pinterest Series: Black & White

I think black is my favorite accent for the home. In fact, I know it is. I love it against a white wall or as a simple cocktail dress. Here are my favorite Pinterest photos that have just that. -Callie
