HAPPY FRI-YAY!
Oh my gosh, y’all. I’m exhausted. I’ve been trying not to whine about being tired, but let me just state again: I’m exhausted. Blogging has been way low on my priorities, which sucks because I love blogging.
That’s why I love posts like Five on Friday because I only have to be coherent for a few sentences at a time.
ONE // LAVENDER THINGS
I’m currently sipping on a Blackberry Lavender White Mocha from Lionheart, and I’m remembering that on my 101 in 1001 list is to bake something with lavender extract. How great do these recipes look??
Lavender cupcakes // Honey Lavender macarons // Salted honey lavender caramels // Lavender shortbread // Lavender & Honey Cookies // Lavender Fudge // Lavender Blueberry Muffins
Uh so none of those even use lavender extract. and given my newest love of blackberry/lavender… maybe I’ll be making up my own recipe. Stay tuned.
TWO // PINK KEYBOARD COVER

I’m pretty hard on my computer. It maybe drops a lot. I have a protective case on it that was cracked within the first week I had it. and my up key is not attached; I often say “BE CAREFUL OF MY UP KEY!” when people use my computer. Because I do NOT want to lose my upkey!
Now I have a keyboard cover on my computer which serves multiple purposes. First, it is pink so it’s really cute and it matches the case and I just love it. Two, it keeps my upkey safe. Third, it protects my computer from my spills (I spill coffee a lot) and crumbs and messes. It’s lightweight and while it took a little time to get used to the feeling of something on top of my keys, I am LOVING it. I just really love not having to worry about my upkey.
THREE //Â FRIENDS
Last week my Twitter feed blew up as my boyfriend and one of my closest friends decided to make breakfast plans for us. They’d never even met each other at that point, too. I just want to point that out. I love the internet. Anyway. this is what I saw when I finally looked at my phone:
So we had breakfast. and I just want to say.. there are few people in the world that I could see all the time and never get tired of them. Susannah is one of those people, and I’m so grateful for the internet for bringing us together. I wish we lived closer, insert wailing emoji right here.
FOUR // TINY FRIENDS
Over the past week or so, I’ve been playing phone tag with my tiny twin best friends. I try really hard to either answer right away or call back the very minute I can, but it’s just never worked. I bought a car mount for my phone so that if I was driving and they called, I could talk to them without having to hold my phone… and it finally worked! They called me while I was driving back from Seattle last weekend, and we spent about 45 minutes FaceTiming. I am so honored to be a part of their lives; they bring so much joy and love into my life.
FIVE // PINTERESTING
Last week we were upcycling clothing for youth group. I helped one girl make a dress out of a maxi skirt (it was so cute! I’m going to do that for the summer!), and there was a lot of headband/bracelet making going on.. and I discovered this pin, where you could no-sew DIY a t-shirt rug. YES PLEASE. So I started making one… for our church nursery. It’s actually REALLY COOL, and when I finish this one I’ll be making one for EVERYBODY I KNOW. It’s much bigger than this already — it’s kind of sloppy, but whatever…. kids will probably take massive dumps in their pants while sitting on this so I’m not worried about impressing the crowd.
But you guys I AM MAKING A RUG! HOW COOL IS THAT!
JUST CALL ME MARTHA STEWART!
Alright well my mocha is gone and I have to pee so badly. Be safe, make good decisions.
I received a product mentioned in this post for free one change for my honest opinion. All opinions are my own.
Love the pink keyboard cover! Wish I’d seen this sooner… I think it’s too late for my laptop at this point. Also, that Twitter convo is the greatest- love that the internets are still truly connecting people, there is hope yet! Thanks for sharing! Have the best weekend!
haha i’m so worried about my computer getting ruined – not worried enough to be less hard on it, but worried enough to put a cute pink cover on it. good to remember for next time! ;D

Omg pleeeease post the link for where you got that keyboard cover! And what kind of case you use…I really need a good protective case but don’t know which to get #amazonisoverwhelming. Also this is completely off topic but have you ever had short hair? My hair is at an awkward length & I keep going back and forth (and back and forth and back and forth) about getting it above my shoulders & so maybe that’s why I have haircuts on the brain. But I feel like your adorable face is the perfect shape for short hair. I’m jealous. BUT OBVIOUSLY I LOVE IT LONG TOO <3 <3
i added links to the post for the cover + the case! amazon is super overwhelming sometimes. like… ugh can’t you just show me the one that the bloggers i like have purchased or something?! haha.
when i was younger i had shorter hair ALL THE TIME, but i really think my hair makes me more confident – i think my face is too chubby for short hair, haha. even when my hair is up or back i feel REALLY exposed, so i think i’ll stick with long hair.
YOU should just kinda snip off a few inches at a time, though!!!!! ease your way into it ;D
Brunch was the best! And you’re so nice and cool and almost made me cry. #notpregnant
that rug is so cool! i may have to try my hand at that! i could use it for the rabbits…not trying to impress the crowd there either haha so no pressure!
and how fun that you guys got to brunch together!!! 🙂
