1. I found this necklace at Target for $2 and my aunt was with me when I bought it. When she saw me carrying it around she said, "Are you buying that because you like it?"
I had to convince her that I actually liked it and thought it was cute.
2. I bet you thought I was going to be wearing these orange sandals that I resort to just about everyday. I actually put those on first, and then decided that I should probably give some of my other shoes a chance.
3. And this is as close as I can get to the "blogger bun" or the top knot bun.
It's quite the pitiful attempt, but I think my hair is just too thin.
4. Last week I posted a picture of the delicious Chocolate Chip Banana Bread that I made and was probably responsible for eating one of the loaves myself. Here is the easy recipe for it:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2-3 cups mashed bananas
chocolate chips
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Cream together butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and bananas to creamed mixture. Add four mixture and chocolate chips. Bate at 350 for about an hour.
Easy and SO delicious!
5. Saturday I leave for a week of camping with my family. I am SO excited to see my sister and her family and am looking forward to lots of quality time with my family, a break from the internet, time to read some books, and of course eat lots of s'mores.
We may even have to recreate this masterpiece we made when we were little.
I'm super excited to have some awesome ladies guest post for me while I am gone.
I do know that I will be anxious to catch up on lots of blog reading when I return!
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteIn case you need a good tutorial for the top knot... this one is helpful and it involves teasing which should help with thin hair :) http://www.pinkpistachio.com/big-top-bun/
I think your necklace is adorable and your sandals tie the whole look together! Maybe I'll attempt to make that banana bread this weekend :) Have a wonderful time camping with your fam, Katie!
