Friday Flair Link Party // Well… This has been a crazy, exhausting week. Last weekend was the big move and I've been spending a good portion of this week putting the house together and trying to get caught up on some looming deadlines for work. Man wouldn't it be nice is life could slow down a bit for major things like moves. It never seem to cooperate does it? This week I also threw my first little get together at the new place. I had a couple of friends over for a much needed Spa Night! I'll tell you all about that later today. It was part of this super fun Skinny Cow WoCavé program that I've been a part of this summer… so much fun!!

I went through the last Friday Flair and unfortunately I only have time for one feature (I know, I'm sorry!!) I'll be back full time next week!! In honor of back to school, I wanted to feature the cutest chalkboard from Michelle Lea Designs…

How cute is that? I'm a sucker for a good chalkboard. But, I think you all already know that! 😉

Friday Flair Link Party // Happy Friday!! Where has this summer gone?! My kiddos start school next week and I can't believe that summer 2013 will then come to an end. This is the earliest we've even gone back to school. I'm used to the week before Labor Day so this is a little odd for us.

In other news… We're moving AGAIN!! Yepo, we have finally found a house here in Lincoln that fits all of our needs and I'm THRILLED that we found it before the school year started. Just in the nick of time really, but before, so that's great. Now we get to start school and move at the same time… Great! We've been packing up as much as possible this week with a few back to school errands peppered in. I'm so excited to get into the new house and finally start building a home here!! We're still renting, so I don't have carte blanche but I have some fun ideas that I can't wait to start working on.

Speaking of fabulous ideas… Last weeks Friday Flair was packed full of great ideas for home and kitchen!! Here are some of the great post that caught my eye last week.

diy photo clipboards (love grows wild) // chocolate and cookie butter mousse cake (dieters downfall) // diy slipcovered headboard (tatertots and jell-o)

calzones (love grows wild) // diy rustic bench (live laugh rowe} // remoulade sauce (wonky wonderful)

coastal bliss dress (sugar tart crafts) // s'more treat bag (polka dots on parade) // diy painted rug (live love larson)

glazed peanut butter chocolate chip donuts by java cupcake (via pint sized baker) // pink grapefruit margarita (today's creative blog) // greek chicken (a pretty life)

Friday Flair Link Party // Well, happy Friday everyone! We are home from Colorado and finally getting back into the swing of things. Why does it take so long to get back to normal after a fun trip?

Currently, we are soaking up all of the last few weeks of summer before school starts again in August. the kiddos and I have been staying up late and sleeping in with all kinds on crazy summer fun in between. From the looks of all of the posts from the last Friday Flair, it seems like you've all been doing some of the very same. Here are a few of the fun goodies that caught my eye last time…
