Pinterest picks

Welcome to another edition of Pinterest pics! Here are just a few of the things that I've been enjoying  on Pinterest lately.

The year's most breathtaking travel destinations, from National Geographic's 2015 Traveler Photo Contest. Please click through to the post. It'll put all of your best travel photos to shame in the best way possible. And you know, hopefully inspire you to do more traveling (and to keep taking travel pictures).

Most of the time Jake and I grill the most simple foods ever like hamburgers and steaks. Recently we made marinated chicken / steak and mushroom / onion kabobs, and they were one of the best things ever. I can't wait to make more.

I love circles, random craft projects, and the turquoise / purple color combination so this project is right up my alley. Of course I'd probably make mine red and turquoise, but you already knew that.

Just because.

For the love of all things coconut. Plus they're mini!

Are you tired of kraft wrapping yet? I love these kraft packages because they work well for so many spring and summer occasions (birthdays, weddings, showers, etc.).

I love all kitties, but why are the orange ones so photogenic?

Pinterest picks

I try to put together a Pinterest picks post once a month or so...but I guess that I haven't put one together since May. I have no idea how that happened. I'm happy to be back at it today and sharing just a few of my recent favorites from Pinterest with you.

 I'm always looking for smoothie recipes without banana. I'm sure that seems ridiculous to most of you, but it's such a issue for me that I put together a whole article about the topic. This mango smoothie only contains frozen mango, yogurt, soy milk, and vanilla, which is right up my alley.

How adorable is this little birdhouse? I would definitely not hesitate to spend several hours making one for myself.

Who else made a lot of friendship bracelets back in the day? Any time I see a tutorial for a woven friendship bracelet, I want to get out all of my embroidery thread. I love these little woven bracelets, too.

Baked sweet potatoes loaded with spinach, cheese, and chickpeas. What's not to love here? If it doesn't sound amazing to you, click over to the post anyway and admire Lindsay's amazing photo skills.

I'm not even into throw pillows, but these watercolor pillows are so beautiful.

Kraft wrapping...why is it so awesome? I can't seem to stop pinning all of the cute kraft wrapped packages.

I have no words for this amazing photo except look at the spots on the belly!

Welcome to another edition of Pinterest picks! Here are just a few of the things that I've been enjoying on Pinterest lately.

 Because this guy reminds me of my Apollo. Also, kitty paws (!!) and little orange kitties make my day better.

I finally started a Turquoise and Red inspiration board. I'm not even into anything vintage or camper related, but this camper is too adorable.

The whole kraft wrapping paper thing is way out of control. So many fabulous ideas.

I'm sort of afraid to make this sandwich because I might not eat anything else ever again.

 Lately for a change of pace I've been browsing sketchbook pages for creative inspiration.

Super adorable little petals. It doesn't hurt that they involve buttons and pink and green.

More ridiculous food photography pinning from a non-food blogger.

Finally, this past month I've been making over my entire Pinterest account. Such an improvement, right? I've been cleaning up long abandoned boards, consolidating and renaming lots of smaller boards, deleting pins that are no longer of interest, and generally making things more organized. Hopefully it'll make the content that is still there more accessible.

Pinterest picks for my birthday

I haven't put together a Pinterest favorites post in forever. My birthday seemed like a good excuse to make that happen again. Enjoy.

Recently I've started pinning cat pictures, which is a slippery slope. Of course many of them are little orange guys. That face...seriously, how does your heart not melt every single time you look at it?

Ever since Christmas, I can't stop browsing kraft gift wrapping ideas. Apparently this is going to be my thing now because I literally have enough ideas to keep me going for decades.

 This is the best melted crayon idea.

This picture is so perfect for so many reasons.

Because I can read about all things photography for hours at a time lately (surprise, right?).

Butterbeer is a real thing, and no, it doesn't contain beer. I made the hot version for a get together earlier this month, and it was a big hit. Put it on your list of things to do.

Finally, the past few months I've been listening to Pat Metheny's cover of The Sound of Silence all the time. And at the end of the day, I still have The Simpsons' The Sound of Grandpa in my head instead. #reallife Also, this made my whole month better.
