harry potter

It comes out so soon. I have to wait to see it until this weekend. At least that gives me time to finish my Harry Potter marathon, I still have 4 and 5 to watch. I can't wait.

travel tuesday: your downtown

I recently discovered the blog reading my tea leaves. One of my favorite things on this blog is the "Your Downtown" series. This series features various bloggers who take pictures of their downtown. I love it. So that is what I am featuring for Travel Tuesday this week (along with a photo of my downtown), go check it out.

rain bangles

I love these bangles from Sundance.

birthday cakes

Devil's Food Cake

Yellow Butter Cake

My husband's birthday is this week so a birthday cake must be made. Unfortunately cakes, frosting and I have had a bad relationship as of late. Hopefully we can fix that this week. Perhaps with one of these chocolate cakes? Any tips on making cake making and frosting are appreciated!

pita bread

I will be trying my hand at making this home made pita recipe. So that I can make these for our picnic tomorrow and maybe try to make some homemade hummus? Only time will tell.

wood cabinets to love

My sister and I have been perusing wood cabinets (anything not white). We have determined that wood cabinets are not all good looking, in fact most of them are ugly. Here is a picture of one kitchen we both loved. I found this while randomly looking at MLS listings. My favorite part is the backsplash.

P.S. Don't forget to enter the baby blanket giveaway!

dear costco, you won.

It is always my goal to make it out of Costco without buying something I sampled but is not on my list. This month I lost. The white cheddar was that good. Plus, I really do need some for this sandwich.

baby blanket giveaway!!

Beddingsets.com has graciously offered three baby blankets for the giveaway. If you haven't heard of this website you should go take a look. They have an awesome variety of bedding for babies, kids and adults. Here are some of my personal favorites from their site. I love the color and simplicity of this receiving blanket. It comes in green too.
I have a soft spot when it comes to airplanes and little boys, chalk that one up to my Gramps and Dad.
I love the crib bumper on this crib. Might have something to do with my new obsession with Navy Blue.
I loved this ABC quilt.
There are few things that look better than a bed with a white quilt. I love white quilts, clean crisp and homey.

Now to the giveaway. We are giving away three baby blankets (two of the first and one of the second).
To enter- leave a comment on this post. Be sure to include which blanket you would like to win, I will do separate drawings.
For 1 extra entry- blog about the giveaway and include "win baby bedding" somewhere in your post. Then leave a second comment and post the link to your blog entry in that comment.

Also, because of shipping restrictions you must live in the USA or Canada to win.
I love this blanket so much I asked them if I could give two away.
Equally darling but only one of these to give away.

Good Luck!
