what’s on my mind this friday

Hey friends!  Happy Friday!  Thank you all so much for your kind words on yesterday’s post.  I was really blessed by your comments and email messages!  

As usual there are lots of random things on my mind this Friday, so let’s get right to it – shall we?

1. Have you all seen this new collection at Target?  I’m in love!

That striped lampshade made me smile.  Those of you who have been around this blog for awhile might remember that I made my own striped lamp shades a while back.

It was a super simple diy, and I still love them!

2.  In other Target news, a couple of these jumped in my cart the other day!   I mean, really, how could I resist?

I bought them to use in the boy’s closet that I’m currently reorganizing.  I’m kind of in love with them.  😉  Can you blame me though? 
3.  The other night I threw some brussel sprouts in foil with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt and pepper, and then had my hub put them on the grill along with some salmon.  I had never made them that way but was in a fix-it-and-forget-it kind of mood, so I thought – well, why not?  To my surprise they were ridiculously good, and my kids LOVED them!  Win – win!

I’m so pumped for grilling season.  And so is my kitchen.  😉   Who’s with me?! 
4.  I finally got me a Magic Bullet!  So, if you’ve got any great smoothie recipes, I’d love for you to share them!  I’ve been playing with lots of combinations, and I just can’t believe how well that thing blends stuff.  
5.  Game of Thrones fans, are you ready for this season?!  I promise no spoilers for anyone that is behind, but I just can’t contain my excitement!  Are you fan?

We’ve got a busy weekend ahead filled with a soccer tournament, birthday parties and prepping for my mom to visit.  I’m already tired.  😉   Hope you all have a great weekend!

  • My favorite smoothie recipe consists of 1/4 cup ice, 1/4 plain greek yogurt, 1/4 cup pineapple orange juice (or any citrus juice you have on hand), 4-5 frozen pineapple chunks, and about 6-7 cherries (pitted). Add more or less yogurt and juice depending on what you like. Cherries make for the BEST smoothies ever, and the frozen pineapple chunks give it a nice thicker texture! Enjoy your Magic Bullet!

  • Picked up some brussel sprouts after your IG pic yesterday. I love them, but no one else in my family does. Hubby and I are grilling tonight, so brussel sprouts for me, potatoes for him! LOL
