25 ways to wear a scarf

If you're a scarf lover like me, you must watch this video! My friend showed me this a week or so ago and since then, I've been trying out all these cute new ways to wear a scarf! I wish it would just warm up here in Spokane so I didn't have to bundle up still, but until it does, I'll be happy sporting one in all these different ways.

Fun(ny) Reads

I am so looking forward to reading these books by these two funny gals. Bossypants is out already and I thought it would make for the perfect birthday present next month! Let's be honest though, I don't think I can wait that long. :) Methinks Barnes and Noble is calling my name on this lovely Saturday afternoon. Mindy Kaling's book doesn't come out until November but I am equally excited to read that one too!

I'll make sure and give some feedback on these after I read them. From what I've heard though they are quite the page turners that have you laughing from cover to cover. I can't wait!

what kate ate

Welcome to the newest segment (ok, the one and only segment) on my blog called, "what kate ate". I got this idea a few days ago. Now I'll have an excuse to blog more...and about one of my favorite things-FOOD! Who doesn't like to read about food, right? (just humor me guys...) When I eat something absolutely delicious, I'm gonna tell you about it. Lucky you. :)

Brown sugar pork with garlic mashed potatoes and string beans.

YUM.

This meal took about 45 minutes from prep time to out of the oven and took all of 2 minutes to consume. I'll definitely be making this one more often.

A little vacay

This weekend I am going to Utah and I can't wait to-

Meet her:

Snuggle her:

Eat a cherry turnover from this place:

Shop at this store:

I am so looking forward to a little weekend getaway! See ya on Thursday Utards. ;)

For Jordy

While scrolling through ffffound tonight, I came across this image and memories of the Santa Barbara apartments came flooding to my mind. One of my dearest friends Jordan (who was my Santa B roommate at the time) had me watch this movie with her and I loved it. It's such a beautiful story of love and finding meaning in life.

Jordy thank you for introducing me to this movie! Methinks it's time I get on Amazon and purchase it to be my own. It truly is a classic.

The leaning tower of toss pillows

This evening while I was getting ready for bed, I neatly stacked our toss pillows in their usual home. Tonight though their towering sight made me giggle. This photo is sure proof that I am Pam Gerber's daughter. My mother has given me a love for these babies. Jason thinks they are ridiculous but I know he secretly loves how cute they make our bed look! :)

I just purchased this rug from CB2. You buy the rug by the square so you can make is as large as you want and you can mix up how they are arranged. I really love the look of it, but I don't love how easily it shows dirt. :( (Please ignore the crap under the bed. Our apartment has absolutely no storage space.)

I made this necklace holder awhile back and I absolutely love it! I got the wood and stain at home depot, the nobs at hobby lobby (on sale, even better) and had myself a little craft night! It was super easy and super cheap. I love how it turned out.

Lastly here's a picture of us with our Anthro mugs. We used them as decor for the wedding and now we get to enjoy them forever! That's the best part of using practical decor in a wedding, you get to make good use of it after. :) Thanks mom.

Mac love

I really love it when we hold hands and play on our computers at the same time.
