Friday Faves

{cherry trees in bloom}

Happy March Madness Friday! What are you up to this weekend? My plans hinge on the Zags winning tonight (so nervous!!!) and then their game time on Sunday.  We’ve been having amazing weather lately so hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy it tomorrow at least, if it holds up. It feels more like May than March! Some links and pics to get you through the work day – which I hope is ending early so that you can watch the games! TGIF!

• I may have to make these basketball cupcakes
• How adorable are these?
• I’ve been drooling over this since Tuesday
• I love this post on how to take/frame photos to use as artwork
• Planing my next international vacation – any tips?

{go zags! blue friday, cherish, joy}

Friday Faves

{this candle was a gift from my friend Amanda – isn’t it perfect?}

Would you believe this is B&B’s 100th post?  I know, it seems crazy. I have yet to receive a book deal (sigh), but I would like to think I’m getting a teensy bit better at wordpress, at least.  Baby steps. The blog has been so much fun for me, and even though I’m not always as consistent as I’d like to be (see, e.g., mid-May through mid-July 2014), it’s so much more fun to try a new recipe or restaurant when I know I get to share it with all of you.  And – confession time – sometimes I use Friday Faves as an excuse to buy things. Don’t tell.

This week has been spent waiting around for my new baby nephew to make his debut – today’s his due date, and we’re still waiting.  I’m predicting he comes today – cross your fingers (for my poor sister, who is R-E-A-D-Y to be done being pregnant).  If I’m wrong, my weekend will be filled with more waiting. Come on, Baby P!! In the meantime, some links and faves. Happy Friday!

• Who Belongs in the Rom-Com Hall of Fame? This is long, but worth the read – and it makes me want to re-watch some of my old favorite movies. “Big mistake. BIG. HUGE.”
• Nine years later, I still want to take this trip.
• If you’re in the market for a good summer read – I always am, and would welcome any recommendations!
• Summer hairstyles for short hair – thanks, Emily, for the third week in a row.
• Dying to watch this movie.
