a royal friday

i'm just going to admit, i love a royal wedding.

i'm no fanatic, but i am about to go home and watch the ceremony.

maybe just to see the dress.

maybe cause i'm a big romantic at heart.

(shhh… don't tell anyone that).

anyway, have a wonderful weekend.

i'm going to attempt to buy a new car (sigh).

must also go grocery shopping (even bigger sigh).

but all that aside hopefully have a happy one.

a bit of love for your weekend:

some great smoothie recipes.

(i'm currently smoothie obsessed).

an amazing spot to soak up the sun.

a very cute project with rubber duckies.

just about the coolest tricycle ever.

spoonful happiness

i got asked to write a "happiness is" list for the latest spoonful magazine!

design yes, write no.

i'm a bit honoured.
