  1. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE AMAZING FATHERS OUT THERE.  especially mine.  ❤️
  2. some days i just need to remind myself to breathe and relax.  when i'm feeling extra overwhelmed/anxious, i find the best remedy is to go on a long walk and find a park… especially when i'm in the city.  being surrounded by trees and grass makes me feel like i'm a little closer to home.  ??
  3. i want to go to ALL of these places ASAP.
  4. i'm thinking about joining classpass again. they have a 10 class deal for $30 going on right now and i'm curious about your thoughts.
  5. i've got some pretty cool posts coming your way this week and i'm really excited about them, be on the lookout for a “meal plan monday post” tomorrow and likely a traffic & income post later this week!
  6. i can't wait to read this!! i'm ordering it on amazon today! Jess from how sweet eats wrote recipes for it!!!
  7. TV. ummmm nothing really major to comment on this week.  i'm missing all my good shows and i can't wait for them to come back.  i've been watching bones (i'm halfway through season 8) and i'm almost up to date with Sister Wives.  i did see that orange is the new black got released on amazon this week at some point! so i'm excited to dig back into that!
  8. earlier this week my friend Kyle took Frankie and I out to dinner for our birthdays!! we went to the Jonesy Wood Foundry and it was super good!  after dinner we went to the sweet shoppe for dessert and i got toasted marshmallow + salted caramel gelato and it was TO DIE FOR.  and owner recommended! ALSO.  he made us brunch yesterday and it was a super nice spread!  thanks kyle ❤️
  9. OH also theres the semi annual victorias secret sale going on!! have you gotten anything??
  10. plus, for all you bachelorette fans out there.  THIS is amazing.

1. my heart goes out to all those impacted by the shooting in orlando this morning.  you're in my thoughts. ❤️

2. in lighter news – is anyone watching the Copa games?  how crazy was the colombia vs. costa rica game last night?!  Frankie's mad that the US won the group because he was hoping to go to see them play at metlife.  womp womp.

3. i think i've talked about my love for the follow me to series  before, here are some behind the scenes shots.

4. i'm making a quick (two-day) trip to DC this week and i don't know how to pack for literally one day… its super weird i feel.

5. i can't deal with how pretty these are.  UGH.

6. alllll my friends are getting puppies or babies.  i want both but i'm not ready for either.  SIGH.  also, i struggle with whether i'm really willing to ever have a dog in the city.  i grew up with a huge yard where our dogs were allowed to run rampant whenever they wanted.  i've never had to “walk” our dogs.  but i find the idea of having a running buddy SO appealing.  wahhhh.  also – my apartment doesn't allow pets… so there's that.

7. TV.  i'm still watching a ton of sister wives and bones!  and loving it.  ALSO.  we're two episodes away from finishing body of proof and that makes frankie VERY happy, he loves finishing a series.

8. this made my week.

9.  i'm struggling with the lighting this summer.  our apartment gets a lot of “dull” light.  i can't seem to find any time of day where i get flooded with light that makes it worthwhile to shoot content in. its INCREDIBLY frustrating because i'd much rather shoot in natural light but i've become accustomed to the reliability of my artificial lighting!

10. i'm caught in a conumdrum right now between which salad was better: the chop't salad i had for lunch on friday or the broccoli ramen salad i made and ate on repeat last week.  ??

Fruity Pebbles Boozy Milkshake

BOOZY FRUITY PEBBLES MILKSHAKES. I can't. a super easy, delishhhhh, and indulgent recipe. YAS. | thepikeplacekitchen.com

can i ask you a personal question?  WHAT was your favorite cereal as a kid?

mine was fruity pebbles.  always fruity pebbles.  (unless those frosted cheerios were on the table).   we used to have to fight for the fruity pebbles around my house because my dad would take the biggest bowl he could find and make a GIANT bowl of cereal for himself on the weekends.

the. worst. Read More
