Early Weekend Roundup
I’m signing off a bit early this week since we are headed out to do some camping in Yosemite! I’m hoping for no snow (unlike where Jared camped last week in the high Tetons- image above), lots of sunny days to hike and explore, and an endless supply of marshmallows to roast over the fire. Have a great one! Below are a few links to explore:A few more spots in my Exploring Advertising Options class this coming Monday. Sign up!
I’m hosting a giveaway with Target here!
I’m really excited about all these relationship classes by Mara
I’m kind of obsessed with Kersey’s flower party poppers in Styled. Beautiful!
The prettiest cheesecake birthday cake
Colorful stools I need
Very cute pencil holder idea
I like this post about avoiding the comparison trap
Wow, guess what she made from a bubble mailer!
So easy but so pretty, love the pastels too
And a few babble links:
Someone needs to snatch up this $22 colorblock skirt!
I’m still obsessed with everything geometric
I live in the first pair all summer long
Also, I’m really itching to buy a cool cruiser bike. Any mid-range recommendations?

Have a wonderful time! I can’t believe that bubble mailer turned iPad case. So clever!
My absolute favorite cruisers are Electra bikes! They’re made to be ridden flat-foot and so cute. If you check out the ladies’ cruisers there are tons of designs
My favs: Gigi, Daisy and Karma
Lucky! Have fun!
I got a new cruiser by Electra for my 30th bday last summer and I loooove it!

Firstly, I love this blog.
Secondly, “colorful stools” is probably the most hilariously/unfortunately named link I’ve ever seen. Well done.
Felt is my family’s favorite bike brand right now. They have a cafe and a cruiser line for women and they are really pretty and light weight. I wanted the cruiser style but needed more gears so pulling a baby trailer would be easier. I don’t know if Felt meets mid range price qualifications though. Happy bike shopping!
Yosemite is on our list of places to visit – any tips on navigating the reservation system? Where to stay? Hoping that you post on your weekend away!
Enjoy the weekend camping…
Oh, how lucky you are that you’re such a short drive to beautiful Yosemite! We’re planning a summer trip out there this August and I’m already counting down the days. Really enjoy your blog!
Thanks, Liz! So glad you like the flower party poppers!
ok, i commented recently, but i have to comment about the cruiser. when we first moved to the city, i got a trek calypso. it’s aluminum, so it’s much lighter than the steel cheap ones. so you can lift it onto the bus. also, it has like 8 speeds?
