Cuter than Cute!

I just received the new Martha Stewart Living mag yesterday and I fell head over heels for this oversized magnet wallpaper. I even made an impulse buy after seeing it. HA. Haven't done that in a long time! They actually have a giraffe, bear, zebra, owl, and parakeet on Amazon. Of course they didn't have the rabbit so I ended up ordering from Europe which means I may not be seeing it for awhile. I almost went with the giraffe, but Ellie is bunny obsessed and it will go with her room best. I am thinking early birthday present. I can't believe she is going to be 9 in not too long!

Front Porch Spruce Up

The porch has slowly, but surely been getting a little spruce up. In the end I decided to save the money and just use what I had. Not quite as fun, but more practical for now at least. The only items that are new are the pillows, doormat and added plants. I still need to fill in my front beds some more and trim up the boxwoods. The only thing I may still do is change out the lanterns to something bigger. I always felt these were a little small for the space, but then again I tend to lean towards the oversized.

The Mr has decided to go paleo with me for the month. Granted our dinners lean that way anyhow, but his lunches, snacks and desserts are far from it. The only problem is that he is WAY picky when it comes to food. Salads sicken him, most fruits and vegetables are off the table, and I even have to be careful with the way I season meat. I tend to think his eating style is boring and he simply thinks its delicious. HA. All this to say the Mr needed a snack option that was more than an apple or almond butter in order to make this journey with me. When I came across Against All Grains granola I knew if I simply left out the raisins it would be a win. It's a long process, but in the end a yummy one. I currently have another batch of nuts soaking to make more. I am even pondering buying a dehydrater, but not sure where I would store it. Maybe one day though!

Have I mentioned how much I love this cookbook! It's been such a lifesaver for me.
