Make these now...

If you know me, you know I love dessert. 

If you don't know me, I LOVE dessert. 

Not like love it...like you love cute pictures of babies and puppies.  But, like LOVE it and will sacrifice all of my calories for a day for just one piece of cake.  But don't get me wrong, I'm not going to sacrifice for just any piece of cake.  It has to be good.  To die for good. 

That is why when I tried these dessert bars at a party recently, I almost died.  Almost grabbed the plate and hid in the pantry of my friend's home to devour them in privacy.  Don't judge.  I didn't.  People were watching.  I used self control.  Instead I came home and googled the ingredients so that I could make them for myself and take them to share with my bible study girls.

The original recipe is from Tasty Kitchen (where all deliciousness originates). 

Make these now...

Tasty Kitchen Graham Cracker Cookies


You'll end up hiding in a pantry devouring them all.  I won't judge. 

Happy Friday!

Wisdom...

Do you ever just look at your house and hate everything?  Hate the lights...the furniture...the paint color...everything? 

You just want to host a massive garage sale and get rid of it all and start over, but then you realize what a waste that would be.  And how much effort that would take.  And how much you hate planning garage sales. 

And so you log on to Pinterest and just pin away.  Pinning is free and fast and you can design all of the perfect details without the real hassle of actually designing the details.

Welcome to my life.  I go through these highs and lows quite often...and end up pinning a lot. 

But, I will say that pinning has been enlightening.  I can actually see the pattern of what I am loving and wanting.  Pinterest is like my very own design therapist.  Without the leather couch and hourly rate (thank God!). 

These are a few of my fav pins lately...

Alright, feeling a little better now...and like the living room might be exactly where I need to start.  The whole house isn't looking so bad now.  But, this room needs to change. 
 
I'm already feeling a little more like I've done something, designed something, come up with an amazing plan for down the road.  All with a few clicks. 
 
Thank you, Pinterest.  My sweet design therapist.  You are so wise.
