Happy Friday everyone!
My apologies for being randomly MIA this week. A combo of spring fever, a full moon (I always sleep terribly during the week of a full moon) and taking on too much in my personal life has left me feeling like I’d lose my head if it weren’t firmly attached to my body.
Thanks to Evernote, Google Tasks, and Leinenkugel’s Berry Weiss’s (seriously delicious) I think I’m back on track, and feeling super organized.
By the way, would you guys enjoy a post on how I (try) and stay organized in my daily life? My boss and I get a kick out of sharing tips and tricks with each other, which made me think you would too.
At any rate, please enjoy a roundup of my favorite finds from around the web and beyond in this week’s Friday Favorites, and have a super weekend!
Favorite thing in the whole wide world: Kate Spade Gramercy Watch. PER.FEC.TION!
Favorite sweet treat: Healthified Carrot Cake. This looks incredibly moist, and check out that frosting!
Favorite tutorial: 15 Ways to Pull Back Your Bangs. Perfect timing for the windy spring and warmer weather ahead.
Favorite brunch: Breakfast Bread. Kind of like breakfast casserole stuffed inside a baguette. Genius!
Favorite dream home piece: Readable Bookcase. HOW COOL IS THIS?! Click the link to see it all filled it up.
Favorite story: You need to read this story about a mysterious, sleepy dog. It is a HOOT!
Favorite soup: Chicken Gnocchi Soup. Easy & pleasy!

Favorite exterior. RIGHT?! All the things!
Favorite bite: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites. I cannot wait to make these – and how cute for Easter with colored almonds in the middle!
Favorite place: Elan Valley, Wales. Which is the sky and which is the water?
Favorite idea: Find the Time Print. So easy to recreate on the computer – and what a great reminder!
Favorite Friday night food: Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips with Chipotle Ranch Sauce. These look like Granite City Idaho Nachos – my fave!
Favorite DIY: Map Artwork. Stitch your vacation path on a map with bright red string, then frame it. Love this idea!
Favorite BLERG: Peanut Butter Passion Cake. I might start making this cake for every single one of my friend’s & family’s birthdays. BLERG!
Favorite sip: Skinny Sangria. This looks ruthlessly refreshing!
Favorite kicks: Sperry South Hampton Wedge. Adorable for the summertime!
Favorite hairspiration: Top Knots. I straight up had a dream earlier this week that I had a rockin’ top knot after seeing this pic! ;)
Favorite print: Holstee Manifesto. Must. Have. ASAP. Love, love, love, this – I want it front and center somewhere in my house!
Favorite bite: Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars with Brown Sugar Glaze. There is NOTHING about these that I don’t adore!

I just ordered the earrings, but in the aquamarine color. Can’t wait to get them!
Definitely want to hear your organizing tips please!
I was so happy to see my Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars here. Thanks for the little feature:)
I love everything on here today!!
And I would LOVE to hear your organization tips!
Sh!t people from ______ is hysterical! I love the one from Chicago, it is right on the money!
Yes, your organizing tips would be fun to read!
The carrot cake looks so good, nice to see a less horrible fat/cal version too:)
While scrolling down your blog, I fell in love with that Kate Spade watch at first sight… then started salivating although I had my lunch lol
Will definitely try that PB CHOC CAKE!! :D
That PB cake looks divine! Seriously makes me want to get baking right this second. Drool.
Have you ever tried to mix your Leinie’s beers?? I have a cup at home that has recipes on it… I know you can mix half berry weiss and half honey weiss and its called a Honey Bear. My favorite, was 3/4 berry weiss and 1/4 creamy dark…but I can’t recall the name of it. I tried to find the recipes on Leinie’s site, but failed. I know they had cards to take that lists the the mixes & recipes. The tour is so fun! You should definitely go if you get the chance!
No – I will look for that though! I’ve been mixing halfsies with Bud Light platinum which is good for cutting the calorie count a bit.
Yes, please do share organization tips! :)
I think I fell in love several times over reading that post! That bookshelf is amazing; As a writer, I have a habit of collecting books and that would be an amazing way to keep them all :)
The best part of the map stitching? The trip starts in “Nummytown.” That is going to be my new word for everything YUM. DELISH. etc.
Bahahaha! I didn’t even notice that – but yes, nummytown = everything from now on.
I just told my husband I want that print for my birthday! Hoping he got my subtle message. :)
Toly will pull through, I’m sure of it! ;)
