Pinterest Picks

Sweet, sweet weekend. You snuck up on me this time. I have a lot to plow through today, including some prep for a family visit (holla!), so let's jump right into the picks.

We painted the inside of our front door almost-black in October, which I do like, but the more I see versions with fun colors like this, I wonder if we should do it again...

This is sweet, a brass charm engraved with the roman numerals of a special date. The listing says it's for a wedding, but it would work for all sorts of things, obviously.

Here's a Guinness chocolate ice cream float. You're welcome. (And they're served in shot glasses!)

I know you never expect to see two food-related things in these posts, but I couldn't choose this week. Being an officer in the Lazy Cooking Brigade, I was too enticed by the idea of making lasagna even easier than it already is. I've never made it in the slow cooker before, but obviously I'm trying it this way next time.

Ha! Puns. Also, I'm enjoying the third peep with the major street cred. Finding this also sent me down a black hole of looking at sassy cross-stitch patterns on Etsy, which was a delightful way to spend 10 minutes if you need a break later today.

So what are you up to this weekend? My parents and sister are coming to visit for a jam-packed 24 hours, which includes a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio. And brunch. There's always brunch. Whatever you end up doing, enjoy this slightly warmer weather. Maybe this is the end of the polar vortex horrors?

  2. The peeps are pretty awesome! We have a family filled weekend as well. The SoCal brother is visiting (and did not bring warm weather... boo.) so all 4 of us kids were at the same dinner table last night! Trip to the in-laws this weekend and another family dinner Sunday before the brother departs.

  10. I love the idea of the blue door, or any color on the door! I think I may have to try that idea. Great Pinterest finds.
