So this weekend, I took a stroll through my Pinterest boards, looking for fresh inspiration, and I thought I'd share a few things with you!
* I found this idea for making an outdoor tic tac toe board. Whether you have kids or not, this could be a fun thing to incorporate in your landscaping, because it's kinda classy looking! Small paver stones make up the board, and then small stones marked with X and O make the playing pieces.
* This is actually how we store our plastic grocery bags. We fold every single one of them into these little triangles and they fit nicely into a storage container until we need them. Yes, people make fun of us for this. No, we don't care.
* My one attempt at homemade marshmallows was...lackluster at best. Still, I am intrigued by the process, and this recipe for espresso marshmallows really has my attention. Maybe I will get brave and try again.
* A wreath made from the pages of books might be just what the door to my office needs. I have a partially broken down book from this past Christmas when I tried to make ornaments from book pages. (That was a fail.)
* I have yet to make my own post of this recipe, but this is the one I go back to over and over to make cheesy potatoes for carry-in dinners. It is really delicious!!
* I have a whole bunch of baked donut recipes pinned, because I bought a donut pan a few years ago. Guess who always forgets to make donuts? You guessed it! These birthday cake donuts look pretty yummy though!!
* Ryan and I have this DIY farmhouse table on our list for someday. It would work well in our narrow space. But we have a few other projects ahead of it!
* We gave this taco-soup-in-a-bag as a Christmas gift to Ryan's siblings a couple of years ago. It would be a great porch-drop gift right now! (Since it's still soup weather...)
* This is still the ultimate dream...doing every single one of these road trips. (Scroll to the bottom to see all eleven routes.)
I only have a billion more pins than what I shared here, but hopefully something gave you a little surge of brightness for your Monday!

So funny about the plastic bags. They're banned in MA (few exceptions like take out and recyclable ones!) so barely ever see them!!
Tamar - Really! I had no idea!! We use them to line trash cans and for cleanup when Phoebe comes. (And for shoe bags when we travel.)
We also rarely get plastic bags. Most of the ones in our house currently we have because friends hand down clothes for the kids in them. And then I fill them with things to go to the thrift store.
Dave actually brought groceries home in plastic bags at one point near the start of this and I got mad at him. "WHAT are we going to do with them?!?!?"
Also, thank you for the reminder to browse my Pinterest recipe board for inspiration of new things to eat and my "Sum-Sum-Summertime" board for inspiration of things to do with the kids.
And you KNOW Route 66 is on my dream vacation!
I've been making donuts every Sunday since we normally have them at church. We've had cinnamon sugar, chocolate peanut butter & strawberry lemonade so far...
