Pinterest Picks: Still in Love With Mint

I can't help it...I'm just as in love with mint as I was earlier this year, last year, and the one before that too. Here are a few of my recent minty faves from Pinterest. If you're a fellow mint lover you can find a whole board of mine purely devoted to the hue right here, and / or explore all my other boards here. xo Ez

My Weekend in Photos: July 27-29

Hi friends! How was your weekend? It has been hot as blazes here in Oklahoma, and seems to be getting hotter still (109 and sunny is the forecast for this whole week - yuck). Despite the heat, we managed to enjoy ourselves (indoors). Here are a few photos I snapped and shared over on Instagram. You can see more snippets of my weekend over there if you'd like. Wishing you all a fabulous week and a great end to the month of July (August is here on Wednesday, eep). xo Ez

1. I had a carton of whipping cream sitting around in my fridge, so I decided that there was no better way to use it than to cook up some tasty homemade caramel sauce of course. The sauce it so good (and pretty easy to make) and is tasty on ice cream and apple slices...or just by the spoonful sprinkled with a pinch of fleur de sel. Yummy! 

2. Making crepes (usually stuffed with strawberries) has become a weekend tradition for my daughter and me, but this time around we mixed things up and filled them with a dollop of Nutella. Holy-moley are they ever delicious! They were so good in fact that we had them again for breakfast yesterday...this time adding strawberries in along with the Nutella. OMG! Thank goodness we're starting up at the gym again today!!!

3. Along with all the boring chores that we not interesting enough to photograph (laundry, ugh) I decided to tackle the much over-due cleaning and organization of my office.

4. It's always so satisfying to see it come together in the end. Now I just need to keep it that way!

5. While cleaning up I found some old jelly molds and thought they'd make sweet little tea light votives. I just used battery operated candles in them, but under close supervision they would be beautiful with traditional candles lit inside!

6. And finally I started working on a DIY that I've been wanting to create for several months now. I have half of the photographs taken and will be wrapping up the rest of them today so that I can share the project with you all later this week!
