Happy First Day of Summer!

Happy First Day of Summer!


To celebrate, I am getting a huge ice cream cone and I am going to bake my body by the pool tonight.

Zucchini Bread

 I love zucchini bread. I love it so much I am dedicating a whole post to it. It’s rich, moist texture with the added crunch of walnuts and the comforting taste of cinnamon really hits the spot with me. It is not only my favorite, but also my family’s favorite as well. A special request from my Dad this past weekend for Father’s Day had me brushing off our recipe and baking a huge batch. I hadn’t made it in a long time and had never attempted this recipe in my apartment so I was moderately skeptical it would turn out well.

But despite an oven that has a decided slant toward the back, and raging humidity, the batch came out beautifully! It was rich, moist and had the perfect touch of cinnamon. Special thanks goes to my man friend for grinding up the zucchini and battling the evil, sparking blender.

The pan barely lasted the day on Saturday, it was that good. SCORE!!!!!

This recipe is incredible. The blog is pretty amazing too.

Decorating

I love creating a beautiful, well organized space.  I am drooling over this bedroom, it’s bright and cheerful and yet it’s not overwhelming. The blue is a soothing color and the mustard accents give it that cozy, spend all day in bed feel. I have to say, if my bedroom looked this awesome, I would probably never leave.

Now if I could pair that bedroom with this breakfast in bed, I would probably die from excitement.

Who's Got The Time?

Today is one of those days where every time you look at your watch an enormous amount of time has passed and you go "#$%#$#$"! Yup it's one of those Thursday's.

Thank you trusty watch for putting up with me silently cursing you as the morning slips away. You take allot of abuse but handle it like a champ.

Happy Thursday!

I'm Back!

Hello!

Did you all think I fell into a black hole? Well I did, a giant black hole filled with graduations, cookouts, Memorial Day celebrations and hectic work schedule.

But it’s okay, because I am back! Safe and sound.  I don’t know about you, but I am ready for some serious R&R this weekend. Below are a few things that will be occupying my time.

Shopping for a dress to wear to weddings/parties. I am particularly fond of this dress.

Sleeping! Watch out bed, you and I have some serious snuggling to do this weekend.

Baking cookies. I haven’t made cookies in forever, despite the fact I used to make them every week in the summer as a kid (Oh now I get why I have a crazy addiction to sugar!) *light bulb*. This recipe is fabulous!

Enjoy your weekend!!
