I have too many ideas crammed into my head, with new ones barging their way in constantly. Blame it all on pinterest. It leads me from one DIY to the next, a new blog to another, a recipe to try yet again...AHHHHH! But I absolutely luuuurve it. I do. I'm in creative heaven now that I have more time to indulge in it.
After a loooong 2.5 hour walk exploring our city with Trav, Hank and Isla today (finally back into a home routine after travelling for most of the month,) I found the time to chop rhubarb out of our backyard. It's growing wildly in the back corner next to my garden boxes, and I've been eyeing it for quite some time. After getting a few tips from my awesome MIL, I've decided to take the plunge (rhubarb is something I've never ever worked with before, and I'm not sure I even like it). Travis loves rhubarb betty, so that's one of my many challenges for tomorrow.
I'm also planning on more DIY...for one, repainting and reupholstering our dining table and chairs. It sounds like a big job, but with the inspiration and amazing tutorials I've gathered from here, I'm ready to take it on...and am super excited for the overhaul. Our dining room is the one space in our house that isn't even close to how I envision it to be. I just came inside from an impromptu spray painting session of some lamp bases, and I'm super pumped with the results...especially because it was so easy.
And as another random side note...I found an amazing recipe (via pinterest of course) that yields CRISPY sweet potato fries every time. FINALLY! I love my sweet potato fries, but they often end up a soggy, burnt mess. I tested the recipe tonight...perfect. If you love these fries like I do, you better get on it.
And lastly, I have a baby shower to plan in - eep - less than three weeks! I'm excited to see it come together...more on that once I get pinning!
