Planting Possibilities

Two things are for certain, I love projects and making things my own. This time of year it's so easy to get completely lose in Home Depot. Which was exacty what I did this past weekend. So I am dedicating this week to those of us with a green thumb.  

This project is fast, easy, and rather beautiful. You can find these blank canvas pots at of course Home Depot. You can use a regular clay pot too but then they are white you'll probably only need one coat of spray paint.

Speaking of spray paint pick your colors. I went with complimentory ones. I seriously love these colors together! 

Boom. The plain white pots went from blah to so colorful! This is such a fun little project I just had to share!  

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! Cheers to a summer full of beautiful flowers and even more DIY's! 

Back On The Grid

Hello there! 

To say the least I have had A LOT going on in the past couple of weeks and really needed to focus on a few other things. My workload right now is crazy! Hence my hiatus. But I'm happy to be back. If you don't follow me on social media the big news is I quit my job to work full time with mine and MK's photography company. I'm very excited, especially to have the time to make a nice dinner and eat it before 9:00 pm haha! 

So now that I'm back I bring with me this months favorites!  

 May Favorites 

I feel absolutely rejuvenated and have been putting in some serious kitchen time and have been diving head first into some fantastic cookbooks. So be ready for some awesome recipes. One more thing, I can really get my DIY on and have some pretty cool things planned. I'm excited to share my new life with you guys!

p.s. Thank you for the overwhelming support with my recent career decision. I've gotten so many sweet words and they mean the absolute world. You're all wonderful.

Coffee Buzz

As you may have read in my February Favorites I got the Ninja Coffee Bar and it's basically amazing. What's better than staying in bed as long as possible on a Sunday morning? I agree, nothing. Ha! I thought for this Slow Down Sunday I would share a delicious coffee recipe that I'd never have time for through the week. During the week I'm lucky if I can dash over to the coffee pot for a second cup (good thing I cut out milk and sugar during the week).

I'm a Starbucks girl through and through, red cup controversy or not. When I treat myself my favorite things to order is the Caramel Macchiato (with an extra shot). On this fine Sunday I figured out how to make one with my Ninja! If you have one here's the recipe, if not, I've also made one for without. 

Ninja:
3 tablespoons ground coffee
1/2 1% Milk
2 tablespoons Caramel

Put the coffee in the basket, get your favorite mug, select cup size, hit specialty brew button,  while coffee is brewing place the milk and caramel sauce into the Ninja Easy Frother. Then, Microwave on high for 1 minute. Take out of microwave, secure lid and pump 15 times. When complete, gently pour frothed mixture into coffee and drizzle with delicious caramel sauce. Because it's Sunday and calories don't count today.

Normal way:
6oz stong coffee
6oz milk
1-2 teaspoon sugar (or more for taste)
1/2 vanilla

Make some strong coffee, add vanilla to the coffee grounds before brewing to infuse with flavor. Put the milk in the microwave, add the caramel to the milk and stir well, add coffee to your mug and slowly pour the milk mixture. Add some sugar if you like it sweet.

Now take the coffee in bed and stay there as long as possible because tomorrow is Monday.
