Saturday Link Shindig

Everyone has a link party, welcome to the link shindig, which is basically the same but with a more fun name!

These yogurt cookies look like a lot of fun and easy to make. I doubt I'd put the frosting on though, they look delicious without it.

Living in a household with one Buddhist, one Christian, and one little girl that loves church even if she's not sure what it's all about yet I love to read articles about people who identify as both Buddhist and Christian.

This looks so yum but I despise the fact that it's called Cookie Dough for Preggies. I'm not preggies but I still think I deserve this.

A relaxation website that guides you to calm. Unless you're looking at the beach scene. That one stresses me out because I can tell when the video stops to loop.

I want this vintage oven in my kitchen so bad. Of course, then I'd have to redo the entire kitchen. Who wants to pay?

I really love this Camp Director Tote from Mod Clothe. I can imagine stuffing some books in it and heading out to have some fun.


Have a wonderful weekend lovelies and I'll see you Monday!

Saturday Link Party

There's so much to do this weekend! Later The Hubs and I are dropping Gibbie off with his parents and going to see World's End (I'm so giddy)! I'm hoping to wear my new dress which is a size 14! I have to mention that because it's been 10 years since I've been a size 14 and it's a wonderful feeling! The Greek Food Festival is also going on so I may make a point to get us there tomorrow after church. We have Sunday School Rally Day tomorrow at church to get the kids excited for the Sunday school year to start next weekend. Exciting stuff!

Here's some links to keep you busy:

A better way to give money as a gift. Sticking a 20 in a card is so over!

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Cheer up! This blog also has some awesome money saving tips.

I really want to make this family birthday chart but I wouldn't know where in the house to hang it. The Hubs and I are always asking each other when family members' birthdays are and usually end up texting his mom to find out.

Have you seen these photos of Barbie and Ken? I mean, we always knew Ken was a little "left handed" as my southern mama used to say. I obviously love these!

I love the Everyday People cartoons. This one is one of my favorites of the moment.

And now I'm crying.

I'm really into lemon right now and I'm dying to try these cookies.

Enjoy your weekend and here's an old picture of Gibbie to get you through:

Sometimes she wears fezzes now. Fezzes are cool.

Gibbie is so tall these days!

I'll be back on the blog on Monday but for now here's some awesome links to get you through the weekend.

Yummy recipes and absolutely hilarious!

Why do the things I like have to be expensive?

I think the older I get the more eccentric I get and I love everything in this Etsy shop.

I just ordered this dress in a size 14. It's been a very long time since I could wear a 14!

I really want a denim jacket this fall/winter.

This will make everything OK.

And finally, the greatest craft tutorial in the history of crafts!

What are you doing this weekend?

Gibbie and Papa at Avila's

We're gearing up for the weekend and I like to take this time to hang out with my family and not blog it up. Here's some links to keep you busy until I get back.

- One of my favorite blogs. I read it religiously. She has two beautiful little boys (one is brand new) and lives in New York.

- I have a lot on my Pinterest and I try my best to not get addicted. I fail. I'm so addicted.

- I don't consider Tumblr a "real" blog but I do consider it a lot of fun. I've wasted many hours on this site and I still post on it random blurbs and funny things so if you'd like please feel free to follow me.

- I have a tendency to like expensive things. It's never on purpose! I just like quality merch and this is some fine quality merch my friends. I want this camera. I actually wouldn't mine having any decent camera so I wouldn't have to constantly take pictures with my iPhone but this one would be quite awesome.

- Have you heard of Bountiful Baskets? If they have a pick up location in your area I highly recommend you try it just once. I'm addicted to this service. You pay a small fee (compared to how much you'd spend in a grocery store) and you get a lot of fruits and veggies. You can also do add-ons such as whole grain bread, a special themed veggie pack (tropical, Italian, Mexican, etc), and you can choose to get an entirely organic basket.

- Bookshelf Porn. Seriously. Just look at all of these pictures. I want a built in bookshelf so bad I might "accidentally" take a hammer to the wall so we'd have to fix it and while we're fixing it we might as well throw in some bookshelves.

- Such a cute idea to do something with all of those scribbled on papers laying around. Yeah, just admit it, I know I'm not the only one with stacks of papers with scribbles everywhere.

- I love kitsch and this Etsy shop has it!

A repair man should be here any minute to take a look at our water damage and my father-in-law is coming to translate for us (we should really learn Spanish). Later, Gibbie and I are going to a birthday party for a one year old girl. I'm possibly going to a housewarming party tonight if I still have energy left over  and tomorrow we're hanging out with my in-laws.

What does your weekend look like?
