Hey y’all! Summer has been busy and while I should feel bad about never blogging, I have to admit, it’s been great to spend as little time as possible in front of a computer. But, I have been keeping up with the blogs as much as possible and there is so much good stuff out there in blog land, that I want to share with you. (And btw, in case you’re wondering, the picture above was taken last month when Mike and I went to Vegas for the wedding of my childhood best friend, Jennie.)
- As usual, I’m completely obsessed with this season of the Bachelorette. Check out these sneak peeks of Hometown Dates next Monday. SPOILER ALERT! This post does go into a lot of detail about the dates!
- And while we’re on the subject, are you reading Natalie Getz’s Bachelorette House of Style Blog? If not, read it now! It.Is.Hilarious! (Fans of the show will probably remember her as winner of Bachelor Pad and from Jason’s season.)
- I’m also still pretty obsessed with Kate Middleton. And as a child I was obsessed with Anne of Green Gables. So, you can imagine how obsessed I was with Kate blogs during her trip to Prince Edward Island earlier this month. She even had a custom dress made that was inspired by one of Anne Shirley’s dresses. Swoon!
- A great tutorial on making adorable banners using free paint chips! I actually followed this technique to make a banner for Mike’s birthday, but used scrapbooking paper instead.
- Getting Married soon? This hot pink striped cake is amazing!
- If you’re into cooking blogs, or if you like funny people, or if you have a love/hate relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow, you must check out my new favorite blog, The Danny/Gwyneth Project. Danny is a funny Portland boy who is trying to cook his way through Gwyneth’s cook book. Makes me laugh out loud every time! (He is currently writing a lot about a recent trip to Italy–I recommend you start at the very first post and work up.)
- For those of you who bake really well, wouldn’t it be fun to make this Double Chocolate & Banana Ice Cream Cake? Way out of my league, but looks so good!
- For those of you who love gardens, but who have no yard, check out this DIY small space flower garden. This would be perfect for a balcony.
Alright that’s all for today. Hope you’re all having an amazing summer!

Loved this blog! I always check out the links and thought the paint chip banner was so cool and creative! Can’t wait to see what you came up with for Mike’s big 30! Obviously into the cakes, and, like you, loved Anne of Green Gables, so thought the “Anne inspired dress” was fab! Not into the Bachelorette, so skipped right past those!
Thanks for being such a loyal reader! I’m glad you liked the links! xo
