This Week in Pins

by Jenni in


Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have some great plans for this weekend- maybe even seeing Captain America, heh, heh! This week there have been some super cute things on Pinterest that just must be shared. Lots are about houses since spring is in the air and all I want to do is decorate/clean/read. Talking about reading, has anyone read The Ring and The Crown? I read it this week and must say, it was not my favorite. Palette cleanser time. If anyone knows a great action with a love story (there must be a love story) send it my way, I am in bad need of some new reading material. 

Home Style Quiz, Henderson Style

I put this one first because it is the most important. If you read nothing else and go straight to taking this quiz, reading the article, and having a wonderful laugh, I will not mind in the slightest. It is the funniest thing EVER. Like Emily, I also made the hubs take this last night, that was a close second in the funny category. How can a guy not understand that you are not actually picking a home location from a picture, I. do. not. know. He got the Property Brothers and I got Nate Berkus. There is truth in this quiz. 

Take it! 

White Chocolate Poppyseed Blondies

Yum! I think that is nuff' said. Seriously, these are spring and light and wonderful. They look amazing and I want to make them right now. Put it in my mouth. 

Calorie Torching Workout

This actually looks kind of fun, right? All we need is some weights and a few minutes to get in some serious fat burning! Just might have to do this over the weekend for some super fun calorie torching! 

Catt Sadler's Home

I love Catt Sadler and I absolutely love her home. Some may say that using so much quite is a fear of color, so not true. It is just plain pretty and simple and swoon. 

Savory Cheesy Bread

Last, but not least, we have the least P+K thing on the whole list. Our aunt made this for us awhile she was visiting a few months ago and it is seriously the best thing I have ever crammed into my pie hole. You may be thinking, "oh, this is on P+K so there must be something secretly healthy about it." No, there is nothing redeeming about it. It is a fat filled starch bucket with more fat than we want on our entire bodies. This is one for the splurge day for. sure. 

To make this a bit healthier, I would highly recommend using this dairy-free pesto recipe from the wonderful Nicole at Pumps and Iron


What I Would Do with $1,000 at Crate and Barrel

by Jenni in


Snapguide has teamed up with Crate and Barrel for their first ever contest and the grand prize is a $1,000 gift card to the aforementioned home decor store! Second prize is a $500 gift card, third prize is a $100 gift card to Amazon, and two fourth prize winners get a Snapguide swag bag. All of these sound pretty fantastic, but I sure do love the sound of a $1,000 guilt free shopping spree at one of my favorite home decor stores ever!

Anyone can enter, just download the app, start an account, and add up to five guides relating to making your home better for the new year! Yes, that is it. So far, I have four of my five guides secured and am just waiting for pictures and details... But, in true putting the cart in front of the horse fashion, I have already been shopping and made a list of all the things I did not know we needed but now must have for under $1,000!

Note, the couch is a bit more than $1,000, but we would be selling ours, so it counts. Right?
