Hello, everyone!
It was a b-e-a-utiful week here in central Iowa, and today’s supposed to be the nicest day yet with temps climbing up into the mid 50s – yeehaw! I’ve made sure to get out and soak up some vitamin D each afternoon with a quick walk around the neighborhood since we all know this won’t last very long. I believe I saw a high of, um, ELEVEN early next week? BLARG!
At any rate, if you need me today, I’ll be twirling around in the sunshine. ;) Hope you’re able to do some of the same, and in the meantime, please enjoy my favorite finds from around the web in this week’s Friday Favorites!

Favorite treat: Easy Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes. Normally I’m a 4:1 ratio of cupcake to icing kind of gal, but holy buckets I would totally reverse the rule for these babies. Mouthwatering, and adorable!
Favorite spring: Michael Kors Persia Sandal. Say it with me now, SPRING! What beautiful, fun embellishments on these casual wedges, right?
Favorite bite: French Toasted Sausage & Pear “Hot Dogs”. I recently blogged about these sausage and pear stuffed French toasted sandwiches for BHG’s Delish Dish blog. They are TO DIE FOR. Ben and I could not stop stuffing our faces with ’em. A must-try for any French toast lover!
Favorite space. This is the mail center I’ve been dreaming of! A must-have in our next home so I can finally get rid of the piles of stuff that always seem to accumulate on the kitchen counter.
Favorite dunk: Pretzel Rolls with Beer-Cheese Sauce. Ohhhh myyy gaawwwwsshh. I’d like to dip my entire arm in that cheese sauce…
Favorite sip: Citrus Margarita. Don’t these drinks look perfectly thirst-quenching? Loving the orange-salt rimmed glass, too.
Favorite fashion: Marc Jacobs Classic Q – Percy. Obsessed with the coral and gold color combo on this bag. It’d be perfect for my spring break trip!
Favorite wake-up: Vegan Blueberry Muffin Pancakes. Complete with streusel topping!!
Favorite furball. Temptation…
Favorite slurp: Beefy Nacho Soup. Warm and filling, this soup would be great for the arctic blast coming our way next week.
Favorite accent: Finnia Curtains. Call me crazy, but I think these curtains are absolutely adorable (plus they’re on sale!) I think they’d be cute for a kids room, or to provide a fun burst of color in the living room.
Favorite sweet: Italian Lemon & Olive Oil Pound Cake. Mmmm, luscious and full of bright, lemon flavor.
Favorite fitness: Brazilian Butt Workout. Yep, still obsessed with butt workouts! I did one earlier this week and can barely walk (in a good way!) Here’s to big booties!
Favorite DIY: Shutter Mail Center. I found a TON of old shutters when Ben and I were out antiquing a couple weeks ago, thinking they’d make an awesome mail sorter/picture holder. Inspired to actually pick one up next time and put it to good use!
Favorite combo: Whiskey Walnut Blondies. Ahhh, I can practically taste that vanilla-y hint of whiskey in these dense and gooey blondies. So yum!
Have a GREAT weekend, everyone!
I was just making out my grocery list and all I need to add to it will be the cheese soup to make the Beefy nacho soup! I’ll do lean ground turkey instead though! Yum!
I look forward to your Friday Favorites every week! I pin at least 3 things to Pinterest every time, too. haha :) You always find the best stuff!
So great that the weather was nice today for you! And wow, that French toast with the sausages, I’m pretty sure if I made this I’d be stuck making it everyday. Wowza
The shutters are very cute. Great idea.
Hi,
Including a link to a website called ‘getthin-or-dietrying’ promotes unhealthy attitudes towards food, poor body image and destructive, health-endangering behaviours. As much as I enjoy these round-ups, the inclusion of this link and website name strikes me as irresponsible.
Mmm…must have Italian pound cake…(drool)
LOVE that shutter idea. I actually have leftover paint in that very color, how convenient ;)
I’m thinking that shutter idea would be a wicked cute way to display table numbers for my wedding in August :)
Thanks for sharing all your online scores!!
I. already. went. out. and. got. everything. for. the. STUPID. NACHO. SOUP. ahhhh :) Any suggestions for changing out the canned nacho cheese soup? I’m thinking some sour cream and an extra can of Rotel?
So funny! I JUST made those funfetti cupcakes for my friends birthday on Wednesday! They are just as amazing tasting as they look!
I was totally thinking Spring this Friday too! It must be the warm weather!
I think my tummy actually rumbled looking at the pretzel bites and cheese sauce picture. YUM.
That purse is classy and beautiful!
Hope you enjoy the weather!!
