I'm really loving this new j.crew watch. It's very similar to the watch (which I never bought) that I mentioned a while back, except that it's a little more feminine. I love the thinner band and the silver face. Plus you can interchange the bands with all kinds of color. I'm definitely digging the seashore green. Now the only thing that I don't like is it's price tag of $98 dollars. Seriously? If anyone wants to buy me something fancy, feel free, but I can't bring myself to drop that kind of money for a watch. Because then I'll want to spend another $12 dollars for my color of choice.
I'll just wish and hope that it goes on sale. and if it does, then I'll be wishing and hoping that I get my hands on one.

Well, I'm the official owner of this beauty, the new Nikon 50mm f/1.8G lens. I saved the extra $$ from tutoring and splurged on one big ticket item. Not sure if it was as satisfying as buying a lot of things, but I'm totally convinced that I'll enjoy this purchase so much that it will be worth every penny invested. Now I just have to take it for a test drive :)

Love this. Simple slogan, but it rings so true.

MANGO QUINOA SALAD
The mango adds a nice flavor to this dish. and with the black beans and quinoa, it's quite tasty.
Next time around, I think I'll leave off the vinaigrette dressing. A bit too much for me. So if you try to make this, maybe cut back on the amount of vinegar (just my opinion).

Hi y'all. It's Friday! The day is always good, no matter what. Work is even good on a Friday. Any fun and exciting plans for the weekend?
I was given some home grown blueberries from a co-worker, so I plan to break out the ice cream machine and make some blueberry ice cream. Then on Sunday I get to see two of my besties.
Have a happy weekend!

She loves her wubba.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Any exciting plans?
I'll be earning some extra $$ tutoring, and then we'll be attending our neighborhood block party. Sunday we don't have any real plans, except maybe some father's day pancakes.
Wishing you all well and enjoy this weekend with your family.

P.S. Do you find it more satisfying to save money to purchase 1 big ticket item? or purchase many smaller ticket items? I can't decide what I want to do with this extra $$ from tutoring. Save to purchase this lens that I want? or purchase many smaller things that I want - like this, this, and this. or maybe this new sewing machine? or do the smart thing, and pay off more debt? But what's the fun in that!

Hooray, it's Friday! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! What is everyone up to?
T will be lifting the Subaru engine this weekend, hopefully resolving the oil leak ::fingers crossed:: and I'll just be hanging out with the G monkey, maybe going on a photography scavenger hunt, crafting, pinning (I'm addicted!), and relaxing - maybe watch The King's Speech. Anyone seen it yet? Like it?
Happy weekend!

AVOCADO QUINOA TACOS
ohmygosh.inlove.sodelicious.mustmakeagain
Seriously. These tacos are so easy. My friend and I made them in like 30 minutes, and that included all the jabbering and baby holding we were doing. All you have to do is cook the quinoa, and stir in all the other ingredients (we used a rotisserie chicken, so it was already cooked, but you could easily leave our the chicken all together). Warm some tortillas and you're done. So yummy and very healthy for you. and did I say delicious?
Give 'em a try! and let me know if you liked them just as much as me and my friend did.
Good eats!

Something I'm working on...
This warm weather makes me want to have an outdoor swing. Swinging from a big old tree in the late summer evenings with the ribbons blowing as you swing high in the warm air. It just seems like a summer thing to do.
[Note to self: add 'big old tree to hang a swing from' onto list for dream home]
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Stay cool! We honestly have no plans whatsoever this weekend. Which is kind of nice, but kind of boring. I'm sure we'll have some fun.

Now that I'm working on my quilt again, I'm really enjoying sewing. I've even made some very amateur diaper pale liners. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try this project, but I'm absolutely in love with this quilted growth chart. You hand embroider your child's stats as he/she grows too. It's so beautiful and simple without all the big numbers. and it's definitely something you can keep forever.
Maybe one day I'll have enough courage to try, but first I need to get a new sewing machine. I'm still using the one my mom had, so it's at least 20+ years old.
