Our July 4th in instagrams

It was a lovely and yummy day! I did not taste the deep fried snickers, that was just a bit much for me.  And, of course, to "celebrate America", I had Japanese food. yum!
I hope your July 4th was full of fun and yumminess. Have a lovely Thursday! xo

Peanut Butter & Honey Oatmeal + a weekend wrap up

I love oatmeal a whole lot but I can never find a really good combination that I like. It's either not sweet enough or too watery, etc. This morning, however, I stumbled across a peanut butter & honey oatmeal that sounded REALLY easy and tasty. Oh it was both. It takes about 1 minute to put everything together and 1 minute in the microwave and you're done. So, of course, I had to share! (I didn't take pictures because as we all know, oatmeal is not a very delicious LOOKING food...but I promise it tastes delicious)

In other news, the boyfriend and I took a trip to see his parents this weekend for father's day. We had a lot of good food, a lot of good drinks and a lot of good fun (as we always do). So this is a bit of a weekend wrap up in pictures.

I just love colorful fruits & veggies and can't help but photographing them.

1. The boyfriend and I on the 1 hour drive to his parents house.

2. Made a stop at the Post Street Ale House

3. Tried one of these Lime-a-rita's. YUM!

4. Cason's mom has 2 chickens and she gave us some tiny eggs from them as well!

I hope you enjoy this yummy oatmeal as much as I did! Have a lovely Monday xo

Today was rainy...

rainy, rainy, rainy. 

(congrats to my iPhone for taking a pretty detailed photo of the rain!)

but now it's sunny. I love sunny days, they make me happy! Since I'm so pale, usually sunny days are wisely spent in the shade but I love how bright it makes me apartment! So lovely.

I figured I'd show you my past few weeks via instagram since I have yet to find my canon cable (also why I have very few posts on here)

Me and the boyfriend took a walk out to the public market, which is amazing. We stopped for some food at Dick's. It's this old walk up hamburger stand, only takes cash and it's absolutely adorable. Walked down to Riverfront Park underneath the world's fair pavillion. And in hopes to speed up summer, I've been indulging in some of my favorite fruits. Yum! 

Well I hope you enjoyed my instagram tour of my week. It's wednesday and that means boyfriends weekend starts tomorrow! I hope you have a lovely Wednesday xo

Happy and Clean Tuesday!

Currently I'm deep cleaning my house. Usually that would not make me very happy but having this house clean and it being so bright in here makes me oh so happy! Vacuuming from floor to ceiling and dusting everything in between. Windows open, cats going crazy...just another day in the life.

I've been absolutely in love with this terrific song lately and I thought I'd share it with you guys. Hope you all have a lovely Tuesday!
