Happy Friday everyone!
After a nutty week, I am THIS HAPPY that the freakin’ weekend has arrived! I plan ninja kicking my to-do list today, so I can drink wine and craft for the rest of the weekend. Yeah, I fell hard for craft/DIY blogs this week and have a zillion things I want to make/do around the house. Ben’s scared.
Favorite OMG dessert: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake. There’s something about cookie dough studded icing stuffed between two layers of cake, then frosted and stuck with more cookies on the side that really does it for me.
Favorite mason jar project (yes, this is practically its own category now!): Spray Painted Vase. I’m totally doing this for a spring themed mantel.
Favorite easy treat: No Bake Peanut Butter Bars. Supposedly these taste just like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
Favorite kitchen decor idea: Framed Handwritten Recipes. I’m going to see if I can do this with some of Ben’s Grandma’s recipe cards and books.
Faaavorite holiday decor idea: Boxwood Wreath. I HEART THESE WREATHS, which are just fake boxwood wrapped and glued around sewing/cross stitch frames (or whatever the heck those are called! ;) )
Favorite furballs. CANNOT stop laughing over these two!! ;)
Favorite find: Asos. Affordable, adorable dresses and clothes for very good prices. Plus they have petite sizes AND free shipping both ways.
Favorite appetizer: Drunken Grapes with Goat Cheese. Bourbon-soaked grapes skewered with warm goat cheese balls. Yes please!
Favorite escape. Can I just hole up here for a couple weeks?
Favorite mmmmanly meal: Long Boy Burgers. Like a cross between a burger and meatloaf. Ben would go crazy for these.
Favorite picture. I love everything about this scene.
Favorite little helpers. “Excuse me, we were told there’d be milk & cookies?”
Favorite serene scene: Saas Fee, Switzerland. Hey I can admire a beautiful, pristine snowfall – just as long as it’s not out my own window!
Favorite couple. I always make Ben help me with the “snow hop” too! ;)
Favorite surprise: Spehere Locket. This rustic pearl-looking necklace actually opens up into a locket!
Favorite hair helpers: Aveda Air Control Hairspray and Damage Remedy. I bought these two products last week and deemed them money totally well spent. My hair has never felt softer thanks to the damage remedy cream, and the air control hairspray has eliminated ALL static!!!
Favorite funny: Community Christmas Episode. I have never laughed out loud at an episode of Community until last night’s Christmas episode. HIGHlarious.
Favorite cookies: Cheesecake Stuffed Red Velvet Cookies. These just scream Christmas! to me!

“My favorite thing to do in my spare time is _______.”
Organize. Help!
I’m thinking those spray-painted mason jars would look great as a Christmas decoration filled with pine sprigs and holly branches. Silver is a Christmas color to me!
In my spare time I like to sit and chill and dream about what I should be doing in my spare time!
Love that dress! Omg, that girl has some legs.
Now remember, you can’t tempt Ben with that kind of food! ;-) Have a great, fun weekend!
I have been *obsessing* over those red velvet cookies from Two Peas. I love all of her cookie recipes. I’m debating if I have the patience to make the cookies…but they look soooo worth it!
Hello! I just found your blog and I love it! (I’m obsessed with the dress you posted for “Friday Favorites”.) Such a great idea. I’m also from Iowa but I’m currently living in New York. I miss it a lot so it’s fun to hear from someone there :) Hope you have a great weekend!
Long Boy Burgers are phenominal! I’ve made them a few times and we love them every time! I think I need to make them this weekend!!
Those p/b bars DO taste *just* like reeses. I made them for thanksgiving! So good!
I love ASOS. They actually have nice products and their service is good. (I am not paid to say this, I wish I was!)
Wait…am I supposed to have spare time? I deem my spare time…sleep time. It most often comes before bed time, so I just go to bed early. Never can have too much sleep…….??
My coworker has made the No Bake Peanut Butter Bars and they ARE to DIE for!!!!
Wait asos is a uk site. Do they do international deliveries? With free shipping, too?
ASOS does have free shipping to the US, but the first time I used them I was surprised to find a foreign transaction fee on my credit card. it wasn’t much at all, but sooo annoying!! And explaining it to the hubby – yikes! HA! So just make sure your credit card won’t charge that if it will bother you as much as it did me :-)
I love your Friday Favorites posts! They always put me in a great mood!
The recipe idea is my favorite and those cute pups are adorable!!!
Have a great weekend!
My favorite thing to do is READ! I’m pouring through these books like a mad woman!
I have a bunch of my grandma’s handwritten recipes and I’ve been trying to come up with something to do with them. This is perfect! Have a great weekend.
