Pinspiration monday
Well, it looks like my Pinspiration posts are going to have to be postponed for awhile. Pinterest got a new look, and along with it some of the features changed. Because of that, I'm not able to embed the pins into my posts like I used to. Hopefully they will fix that, because I know there are a lot of bloggers who do the same thing. Until then, you can follow me HERE to see everything I pin! Or you can click the button in the sidebar.

Pinspiration Monday
Just popping in quick with my favorite pins from the past week. I am waiting for a load of laundry to dry so I have a shirt to wear then we are headed to town for some groceries!
This just looks amazing. Anything with strawberries and cream is a winner in my book.
Blueberry banana bread. MMMM. Love quick breads.
Old drawer fronts as hooks. Adorable!
I'm normally not much of a coke drinker, but this sounds good! I love anything with coconut!
Watermelon slushies. Levi and I tried these yesterday and they were really good! Next time I will use less sugar though, because they were a bit sweet.
Pretty sure I will need to take a pic like this when Levi goes to kindergarten.

Pinspiration Monday
Since it's been a couple weeks since I did a Pinspiration post, I thought I would try and get one up today!
Baked Cheddar Dijon Chicken Tenders. I actually made these last week and they were really good! I would definitely make them again.
These just look SO good! I am planning on trying them sometime soon.
Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies. I mostly just want to try these out of curiosity. I love chocolate chip cookies and it would be neat if there were a 'healthier' version with less fat.
This would be fun to make for the fourth this weekend! Maybe for munchies while Paul is pulling at the tractor pull after the parade? :)
DIY ruffle headbands. So. Cute!
BLT Chopped Salad. I will for sure be trying this sometime soon! Looks delicious!
DIY changing pad that turns into a clutch to keep in the diaper bag. This would be handy I think! See how ambitious I get if I want to bust out my sewing machine and try it.

Darn near forgot it was Monday again! Well, not really, just forgot about posting. :) It has been a long day. Levi has been suuuper whiney lately, so mid-morning I decided to bring him to the dr. to check for an ear infection. I figured it had to be that or just his two-year molars coming in. Hopefully this is not how the next year or so will be...terrible two's=understatement. Well, no ear infection but the dr. said his tonsils were swollen and gave him some antibiotics for tonsillitis. He has big tonsils in the first place and I'm hoping that the reddish colored orange-flavored water he was drinking on the way there didn't make a difference... But either way, meds for 10 days.
Here are my fave pins for the week!
I had plenty of fabric (like, almost twice as much as I needed) left over from what my mom and I used to make baby girl's crib skirt and valance, so I'm thinking this would be a perfect way to use up a yard of it! Looks easy enough that I might even be able to do it myself! :) Maybe..
Thinking I might have to try these for my little corn-dog lover.
Dill roasted red potatoes. Definitely going to have to give these a try this summer sometime!
This dress from Maurices. Love! I picture it with cowboy boots (which I will hopefully be getting a new pair of this fall), and some cute accessories!
Rhubarb hand pies. Another one that reminded me of my mom! They look super yummy and actually, not too hard to make.
Our town has its celebration (parade, street dance, etc.) during the Fourth of July, and the last few years our family has been stopping over at our house for a bit after the parade. These would be perfect to share with Levi and his cousins this year! (Assuming it is warm out by then...never know with the spring/summer we've been having here.)
Green-a-colada popsicles. Like a green smoothie but in popsicle form! I have the ingredients for these on my grocery list for this week, I am excited to try them out for Levi!

Pinspiration + a link!
I missed last week. (Whoops.) And I am late this week. (Whoops.) BUT here are my fave pins from the past couple weeks..
This looks SO yummy and refreshing! Definitely going to try it out sometime this summer.
Yum! Always looking for easy chicken breast ideas.
I actually improvised and made something using this as inspiration last week for lunch. I used what I had, so just whole wheat bread, cheddar cheese and avocado, then cooked it like grilled cheese. Holy YUM!
This just looks all around awesome.
I can dream right? Rebecca Scott Designs diaper bag. Gorgeous. And also out of my current price range...
I am curious if this actually works. I can never get nail polish (on my fingers) to last more than 24 hours. (Honestly 24 hours would be nice, usually I chip it within like 12 hours.) Might have to give it a try sometime!

One more thing! This recipe that I posted almost 3 years ago has been getting TONS of hits on Pinterest, and I was contacted to have it shared in a slideshow on the Reader's Digest website with other summer appetizers! Crazy right?! Well I just got an email that the slideshow was live, so I wanted to share that link! Go check it out!

Pinspiration Monday...err, Tuesday
Missed posting yesterday, so I thought I would get it up today! I still have to do my 34 week pregnancy update too, but I might just put the picture up since it's so late already.
Here are my fave pins from this week::
Buffalo Cauliflower Wings. I think I might try these. I know I'm not really supposed to have blue cheese (since I am pregnant), but I think ranch dip would be yummy too.
I love this layout, nice and simple and pretty.
Use baby oil instead of shave gel for softer skin and to make your razor last longer. This sounds interesting. I wonder how it would work on underarms, I always have issues with sensitive skin there.
Almond Joy Oatmeal cookies. These are right up my alley, YUM! And I wouldn't have to share since Paul doesn't like coconut! BONUS! Ha. That's probably not a good thing though.
A list of popular and useful DIY projects. Love the look of these lights for outside!

Here are my fave pins from the week!
Vintage toolbox with mason jars and fresh flowers. So pretty! Wish I had somewhere to put something like this. My house is way too cluttered with a 2-year-old around.
I love oatmeal and this looks delish!
Fitted sheet as a kiddie pool cover! Great idea.
Tomato and green olive salsa. Yum!
DIY mason jar straw covers. It looks easy enough!
This looks heavenly.
These are on my list to make for lunch later this week! Love fruit salsas and these look super easy once the salsa is made!

Pinspiration Monday
Today I thought I would share a pin that I tried along with a couple of my favorite pins from the week.
Levi likes 'noonles' aka Easy Mac for lunch sometimes, and when i came across this pin, I knew I had to give it a try. Well today was the day. I was out of Easy Mac so I decided to try it. The pin led to spam, so I googled it to find actual directions besides just the ingredients. I didn't have macaroni pasta, so I used rotini.
Verdict? It was alright. Took a little bit longer than the Easy Mac, but I think if I would have used smaller noodles like the macaroni or small shells, it would have been better. Definitely not as creamy as I was hoping, it stayed a little thin so if I did it again I might reduce the milk a tiny bit. Levi decided he would rather have a hot dog so I ended up eating it anyway. I did like the taste much better than the Easy Mac, but it had a little bit of that grainy texture. Every time I have tried making regular homemade mac and cheese with cheddar I get that too. I would try it again.
And here are a few pins from the week!
Love the look of this! I'm trying to figure out somewhere in my yard I could put it this summer...
Something on my to-do list before the baby comes is to freeze a bunch of meals ahead of time. There are some good ones in this pin. Hopefully I can get that done soon! Along with the many other things on my to-do list....
I love this sandbox. Paul is planning on making one for Levi this summer to replace his turtle one, but I love that this one has a cover! It says that it doesn't keep out the water, but there are a few cats that wander around our neighborhood and I've seen them use our garden as a litter box. I would rather not find any buried treasures in Levi's sandbox, if you know what I mean.

I almost forgot that it was Monday! I got my 31 week update up earlier and totally forgot about doing this post until I was about to start scrolling through Pinterest just now! So here are my faves from this week! :)
Loving this crib skirt. Looks pretty easy to put together, it just velcros/ties onto the sides.
If we get a nice enough day this week to grill, I might have to give these a try!
I would really like to try doing this with Levi sometime. Looks easy and I think he would like it!
These are on my wishlist. I have been wanting a cute tennis shoe just for everyday, like around town or going shopping, and these would be cute for this summer.
Supposed to be the best stain remover. It would be interesting to give it a try!

(Hoping to have some pics from Levi's b-day up in the next couple days too!)

It's Pinspiration Monday: Second Birthday Edition!
These are some of the ideas that I had pinned to my Two board for Levi's birthday party this weekend.
I thought these would be a fun way for the kids to get a little treat. I haven't decided where I'll hang them yet! The idea is that once you get the little candies in there, you blow up the balloon and then the kids can pop them with a toothpick. With a grown-up's help of course for the littler ones.
I am going to try and combine the next two pins for Levi's cake. I want to do the sprinkled number 2 using the sprinkle colors to match the invite for his party. I was planning on doing multi-color like the picture, but then looking through my closet I found separate colors I can combine for a custom sprinkle mix!
Then I thought it would be fun to make a little cut-out banner like this one with his name on it too!
I would like to see if I can get something like this done. Maybe not with the buttons, but some sort of big number 2 to hang somewhere.
And I thought I would give this a try. Scooping the ice cream into individual muffin cups before-hand, then freezing until hard again, to make things easier when it comes to serving the cake! And cute! :)
So we'll see how many of these ideas I can follow through on! Levi's birthday party is on Sunday morning this weekend, so I'll share some pictures most likely next week!
