Friday Faves

{via}

Hi, hi! I missed last week’s Friday Faves because I had a very sick babe to tend to. Double ear infections. Head cold. The works. Poor little guy. I was scrambling around last week trying to get him to the doctor and getting his medications and all that jazz. Thankfully, he’s doing much better this week. And so is my Mommy Stress.

I am traveling for work this weekend (to Chicago! My fav city) and have a bajillion and one things to do before I leave. We’re also hosting a family birthday shindig tonight. Both my sister and my husband have birthdays within a week of each other, so we’ll be kicking things off the right way tonight with honkin’ slices of this. Yes. Haven’t made that in so long. It’s a killer recipe, guys. Next week, I’ll find myself back home and trying to get back into my regular groove, I’m sure. Lots of quick and easy meals are likely in the near future, along with a frosty batch of these sorbet wine spritzers and possibly even a big bowl of {healthy} comfort. Yessss.

We also have a big trip planned for the end of August. Dan’s family is having a huge reunion in the Outerbanks, and we’re flying there with Kieran for the first time. Eeeek! It’s a short flight, so I think we’ll be OK, but if anyone has any helpful insight on what we need to bring/what we don’t and how to keep a toddler calm on an airplane, please pass it along! We’re excited and terrified.

Anyway, in lieu of last week’s round-up, I’m sharing a double duty of awesomeness today. You’ll find some stuff that I originally planned on linking to last week below. Enjoy!

 

This Pineapple Peach Agua Fresca is so pretty and sounds incredibly refreshing.

This Summer Squash Sandwich is my mind of summer meal.

These Black Forest Popsicles. Oh. Em. Geeeee.

I’m totally craving these Cold Spicy Kimchi Noodles! These look like the perfect post-travel meal for next week.

These Vanilla Berry Pinot Noir Slushies look killer…and maaaay happen this weekend.

These Lemon Tie Dye Donuts are ridiculously fun. Plus, anything lemon? Yes.

This Cherry and Almond Quick Bread is screaming my name. It’s right in line with my cherry obsession.

This Kombucharita Punch! Wow! So fun and such a great idea. I love me some kombucha.

It doesn’t take much for me to get excited over iced coffee, but this Cardamom and Rose Iced Coffee is making me lose my shiz. GORGEOUS.

These Marble Macarons are the cutest things ever!!! And pink lemonade filling?!? SIGN ME UP.

This Grilled Lemon Chicken with Basil Dressing looks divine. Adding it to our dinner list!

These Passionfruit Raspberry Marshmallows are so fun! Love the idea of swirling two flavors.

How delish does this Pina Colada Smoothie Bowl look?! This just might be the one to make me crack my “no smoothie bowl” rule.

This Mix and Match Summer Crostini Bar is genius. I will be doing this at my next gathering, for sure!

 

So much good stuff, right?! Love it all. Happy Friday, friends! Xoxo.
