I’m loving this poppy and silvery teal color palette and that’s not just because the poppy is almost the coral hue I use on my blog.. It’s a different take on my most loved spring color palette, coral and mint. Where would you use this color palette?

I’m spending the week in Georgia with my mom at our second annual girls trip. We’re at the same ranch again riding all day, eating good food and drinking lots of wine. You can follow along on my horsey adventure via Instagram!
This may be one of the best and easiest desserts I’ve ever made. Just a few ingredients and a blender and in know time you’ll be sipping those delicious ginger-snap-like cookies. This shake is inspired by my mother-in-law, who got my hooked on Biscoff cookies. Last week I stumbled upon Biscoff spread while in Aldi of all places. I love the cookies so I thought I had to try the cookie butter.
If you can’t find Biscoff spread, and you’re lucky enough to have a Trader Joe’s in your town, you can use their yummy cookie butter.






To make one shake (you can easily double this to make 2 shakes if you want to share):
• 2 scoops of low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt
• Around 1/2 cup skim milk
• 2 heaping spoonfuls of Biscoff spread or Trader Joe’s cookie butter
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Blend the first three ingredients in a blender until completely mixed and smooth. Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle ground cinnamon. Enjoy!

Ok, so this may totally seem like an infomercial but I promise it’s not. I just sometimes find things I love so much that I have to share them. This Belkin iPad Fridge and Cabinet Mount is one of those things. Ever since I’ve had an iPad I’ve used it in the kitchen as a cookbook. Between cooking out of Everyday Food or a recipe off a favorite food blog, it was always on the counter top. We have a tiny kitchen and very limited counter space so I searched all over for the best solution and eventually stumbled upon this iPad mount. It’s made for refrigerators but works perfectly mounted on any smooth surface, including cabinet doors! It sticks on with 3M commad strips removable to there are no tools involved or damage to your lovely doors.


Now that I’ve had it a few months it’s absolutely indispensable! I’m loving how accessible it is without taking up precious counter space.


This post is not sponsored by Belkin. I just think this product is awesome and wanted to let you know about it!

Industry items aren’t just for work anymore; they are equally fitting at home now. I’m loving the current array of industrial-inspired home decor items available today. They seem like the perfect blend of modern and antique styles. Which item is your favorite? I’ve been eyeing the metal marquee letters for a while—but what letters should I buy?
1. Crate & Barrel square canvas laundry bin / 2. CB2 Contact stool / 3. Threshold wood serving tray / 4. West Elm wire mesh storage tote / 5. CB2 dual planter -party tub / 6. Land of Nod metal marquee letters

I’ve always wanted to try printing on paper bags so I thought I would finally give it a try to make some cute Father’s Day gift bags. Though it seems like Mother’s Day just passed, Father’s Day will be here before we know if (June 16th)!
All you need a regular brown paper bags that you can find in your local grocery store, an ink jet printer, and some washi tape (or really thin masking tape). The trick to getting the paper bag to print is using washi tape to tape the bottom fold and the top opening. Nearly every printer loads differently so make sure you know which way your printer print’s images.
Download the free Father’s Day paper bag designs and print away!
