It’s another round of Friday favorites and this week I’m obsessing over plants. I however, will kill just about anything that is green so that puts me in a bit of a conundrum. How do I put real plants in our house that has doesn’t have a lot of natural light that are also very low maintenance? So, I’ll probably spend a bunch of money on plants I have no business buying over labor day weekend and then half of them will die. More to come on that note.
This weekend I’m in Green Bay visiting my family and celebrating my little sister’s birthday. I’ve been tasked with making a Harry Potter themed cake so that should be interesting given my lack of cake decorating skills. This ombre cake I whipped out last year is probably the best I can do.
this week’s favorites:
I snagged this beautiful pillow in a flash sale last night. It was so hilarious, I recruited my 13 year old sister to help me refresh, refresh, refresh and then frantically comment. BUT we got the last one, so I’m not even ashamed about it.
These examples of IKEA hacks for a cluttered entryway. I was given explicit instructions not to let our apartment turn into an IKEA warehouse.. but I still think these are good.
Flights to Europe for $300? I’m not sure if I believe this but I’ll be sure to check it out the next time I’m planning a trip. And if you’re wondering, I’m totally okay with flying crappy airlines that might get delayed as long as I don’t have to pay much. But then again, I don’t have any kids sooo, it’s a bit easier.
Anybody else ready for fall? I’m already drooling over pumpkin recipes like this one and waiting for sweater weather. These look pretty good, too.
Speaking of fall flavors, this ravioli from ohladycakes looks heavenly. YUM.
That’s a wrap, have a great weekend!

$300 RT! My roommate is taking WOW to Copenhagen for about $500 from San Francisco. I’ll have to report back to you to see how these transatlantic budget airlines are! I would be a little nervous too many corners would be cut, but all that money saved means more trips!
