From my earlier post about Inspiration and Greener Grass, thanks for the very genuine comments and sharing who inspires you, and why.
Also, it was interesting to read if you’re a person who tends to think the grass is greener, or not.
Lots of wonderful feedback on that post and thank you for being so honest in the comments.
Questions:
1. Have you made anything this week or seen anything that really caught your eye!
I think my White Chocolate Chip Blondies with Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting were the best thing I made all week.
But as usual, there are so many great recipes out there! I could spend days in my kitchen cooking!
2. Weekend Plans? Any plans for Mother’s Day?
I don’t know if Scott realizes it’s Mother’s Day weekend. We shall see.
So far, no plans other than the usual: working, working out, cooking, cleaning, blogging, and being with Skylar.
Mother’s Day plans thus far are nonexistent, but that’s ok. I’d rather keep things loose, low key, and open-ended. For me, one way to “ruin” a holiday is to over-plan and over-schedule it, and not factor in downtime and chilltime.
I have so much to do anyway this weekend because we are leaving for our trip soon!
P.S. Last Reminder to enter the Granola Giveaway. Winner announced in the morning.
Thanks for the link love! I recreated Kath’s frittata :) It was delish!
wow that was fast and glad it worked!
Ooh, thanks for the highlights tour of the blogosphere :-). I’m still here, just had a killer week…working all day today as well. Had time to go out with a friend last night but was so busted we only had one glass of wine and went home defore ten, plus something in the food was a bummer and I slept like h…, am paying for it now even though I was careful when I ordered. Well it’s once out of many times I’ve been dining out this month and it was worth the facetime with my homegirl! ;-)
Hope you have a great w-e!
sorry youre paying the price for the food…but at least you had time w/ your friend, right :)
No big plans for the weekend, but I am going to help my sister with her wedding invites, and we have dinner plans with my hubby’s family.
You must be getting so excited for your trip!!
Hey Averie, we should celebrate Mother’s Day together – nothing planned over here either! Great round up – now all I need is time in my days to try all of these fab recipes. Thanks for featuring my scones….been living on them :) See you next week & happy Mother’s Day my friend :) xo
Wow! All of those recipes look fantastic ~ some I’ve already seen and some of the pictures alone make my mouth water! Your blondies look delish too!
So lucky you’re getting away — I’ve only been to Aruba for one day when we stopped there during a cruise. It was gorgeous, the weather was incredible and we packed a lot of sight-seeing in!
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day; I’m sure it will be remembered and hopefully you have an extra special day :-)
Everything looks so good, especially that salsa with strawberries! Thanks for the link love <3
My mom doesn't really want a fuss for Mother's Day, so we're probably not doing anything special. Just dinner, but we do that every day! haha When you live with someone and work from home it's hard to always do something different because we pretty much do the same things on any given day, not just holidays.
You must be so excited for your trip!!!
excited would be an understatement and yes, working from home = the same thing, every day, unless you really TRY to mix it up! :)
AW, I’m sure he realizes. I bet he has something up his sleeve! ;) Happy Mothers Day hun!
you never know..he has forgotten holidays many a time. lol :)
Well, even if you DON’T do anything for Mother’s Day, Happy Mother’s Day to you! Being a mom is hard work (and rewarding work!), so I hope you enjoy the day!
thanks leslie and happy mothers day to you too!
I’m with Janetha, love the compilation posts. I need to make some avocado scones and mango guacamole! Yum. I have been on a total avocado kick lately. Hope you and Skylar and Scott have a great weekend!
ive been on an avo kick this week too! a couple recipes with avos in them!
Those radishes look surprisingly good!! I need to pick some up at the store this week!!
