Friday Favorites Feature ::Weekend Bloggy Reading::

Happy Friday, friends!

I'm wishing you a happy day because Friday is pretty much the same as any other day around here (except there's no church and nothing good on TV....is it sad that I judge a good day by what my DVR will be recording?)

If you're look for some good reading this weekend, here's a list of some of my favorite posts from around Blogland this week:

~I'm in love with this new (to me) site: How Does She? The tagline reads "Uniting Inspirational Women Sharing Inspirational Ideas." Sounds good to me!

~Britt's Prettified solution to plain old office labels

~Looove Morning T's twist on a popular bloggy craft project! (And I love Frappucino!)

~Lindsay reminded us that Real People Don't Live in Magazine Spreads. Boy, can I attest to that!

~Beth's Family Rules Window-- a great take on a popular project. She really made hers unique.

~Tidy Mom's recipe for The Perfect Snickerdoodle...yum! Her photos will have you drooling too.

~If Kate wasn't such a sweetheart, I'd be super jealous of her gorgeous kitchen's new look. Swoon-worthy!

~Rachel from Perfectly Imperfect gave her readers some great tips for using the FlyLady system. I enjoyed reading how Rachel created a housekeeping routine for herself, and if I can get over being called a "flybaby" I might just see if I can tweak some of these ideas for myself.

~Richella shared a wonderful tutorial for anyone who's interested in trying their hand at Upholstered Headboards.

Not much planned on the homefront this weekend. Natalie's little friend A is coming over this morning, and A's mom will stay to have coffee with me. I love playdates like that! I'd love to do a little thrifting on Saturday morning...I am on the hunt for a buffet to make over. Wish me luck!

{What are your plans for the weekend? I hope it's a good one!}

  5. Couldn't agree w/ you more as to how swoon worthy Kate's kitchen is. Hope you have a great weekend. I've been out of commission for the last 2 1/2 weeks so I'll be resting this weekend & hopefully catching up on some Dvr myself :-).

  6. Amanda! Thank you so much for the linky love! I appreciate it so much. I mean, REALLY appreciate it. I really like your feature posts--what catches your eye always turns out to be something that I want to see, too. So for something of mine to be on that list. . . yippee!!

    I got both headboards done and made new coverlets for the foots of the beds. And I still have a good bit of that green fabric left over. I'm afraid I went a little wild at the fabric store--I love this fabric, and I knew it would be GONE really quickly. So now I get to think about what else I can do with it. :)

    Have a wonderful weekend.

  7. It's another snow day here: DH is painting a room, and then will be clearing the snow. I see an afternoon of making hot chocolate and oatmeal.

    I've tried the Flylady system. It works when I actually stick to it. :)

  15. Great links! It's fun to visit new blogs.

    I hope your playdate morning was fun.

    I'm attempting to make a cake for my friend this weekend. She's an expert baker, so I hope mine will be up to snuff. A bunch of us are playing tennis Saturday night and I'm going to surprise her with the cake after we play. I spend over $20 on the ingredients...it had better be good!

  17. Love your post and can't wait to read your suggestions. Watching Sense and Sensibility tonight while the boys all sleep outside underneath a pine tree (we have three feet of snow!) and then tomorrow I'm attempting a slipcover on a chair/ottoman I found on CL.

    Have a great weekend!

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
