Happy {Working} Weekend!

Its the last weekend before a 3-day weekend, and I feel the need to be productive - really productive. The more I do this weekend, the more I can spend my 3-day weekend relaxing with Josh, taking hikes with the pup, and spending time with friends. And the productivity has already started! I got cracking on our (very) long list of things to do on Wednesday night, and since then I've already started putting my desk together, measuring and picking out paint for the accent wall, and hanging art around our apartment. Beginning with an early trip to Lowe's tomorrow morning - I know this weekend is going to be so productive!

Of course, I still plan on taking breaks to do a little bit of reading (I'm almost finished with A Dance with Dragons!!!) and to do a bit of cooking (read: a lot of cooking). If you have a chance for a break this weekend, I hope you'll check out some of this awesomeness below - they are my favorites from the blogosphere this week!  

Amazing laundry room renovation project

This makes me want to move to Oregon and buy a mountain lodge

 

Alissa is beautiful, talented and inspiring. Her letter to herself is sure to resonate with all of us.

Yellow is my favorite new color for decor
