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.

We had a great, HOT weekend here in Atlanta. I finally went to the Decatur Arts Festival, and I also took G to the park. He swung for the first time and loved it.
After this weekend, and the intense heat, I'm really wanting to find some cute sandals so I'm not always wearing my old Teva flip flops. Another way to work on my goal, and step up the wardrobe. Just have to find the right ones to save for...and these sandals might be in the running. So cute and summery. I wish they weren't quite as expensive, but they'll definitely go on my wishlist.

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe memorial day weekend! and honor our fallen soldiers.
We'll be going to the Decatur Arts Festival this weekend, watching some baseball, and meeting up with a few friends from work.
Happy weekend!

I'm always loving a good magnet for the refrigerator, and these scrabble tile magnets are perfect (since scrabble used to be a huge part of my adolescent years). I actually remember my first seven letter word - Tabasco. Now though, so many years later, I don't think it was a valid word since it's a proper name. Maybe my dad was being nice...
I digress. Back to the magnets...
Simple and sweet. Now I just need to go searching for an old scrabble set.

I used to love playing memory as a kid, and I always felt so lucky when the memory game popped up in Mario (it always seemed like the other player got it every time).
Anyways, I've seen a lot of memory games around pinterest, which I hope to make for G one day, but there's something about anything miniature that gets me every time. and this is one cute miniature memory set. Inexpensive and easy to make - that's my kind of project. Head over to Dandee for instructions and photos so you can make your very own set.
The mini set might have to wait until G's old enough to understand that everything doesn't have to go in the mouth.

On Saturday, I was able to work on my quilt that I started, oh, three years ago. It's still a work in progress, but this weekend I was able to finish my squares, clean/cut them, and start sewing them together. There are 16 squares all together. Here you can see two rows that I need to sew together. Hopefully the next time I'm in NC, I'll get another lesson. and hopefully it won't be another 3 years.

Whew. What a weekend.
G had an upset tummy towards the end of last week and then we went to North Carolina to visit family. Every time we go, I am reminded of why I love NC so much. It's just beautiful and so much more relaxed than Atlanta. Ever since leaving Appalachian State University, a part of my heart will always be in NC.
It's Monday, the beginning of the work week, and I have a post late for you guys. I saw this mobile on pinterest and wanted to share.
I love the colors and circles. I want to try and make a similar mobile for one of the three babies due in December.
Hope you all had a great weekend, and here's to a good week!

I grew up playing scrabble almost every weekend with my dad. This outdoor scrabble board would be so cool. When we own a house, I'd really love to try and make one for ourselves.
One can dream, right?
