Lest you thought I forgot… I have not! I’m just running on island time these days. Mike and I are having a ball here on Kauai just enjoying the island flow of things. We’ve been eating our weight in Ahi Poke and enjoying the sights and smells the island has to share. I’ve been documenting everything on Instagram if you are interested in following along. But… this post is not about me, it’s about YOU and your amazing talents. Here’s a little taste of what caught my eye last week during Friday Flair…

Friday Flair Link Party /// Blueberry Truffle Tartlet Edition

Wowza… it’s late! The good news, It’s even closer to FRIDAY! I’ve been madly working on getting the kiddos ready for the first day of school, planning for the blog while I’m away and getting ready for Hawaii. CRAZY!! My Honey left for the islands last Sunday so I’ve also been doing all that while flying solo. No worries, I’m almost finished and then it’s nine days of rest and relaxation on Kauai. If any of you have been there and have great suggestions for some hidden gems on Kauai I would LOVE to hear them. We are leaving our kiddos with some of our favorite friends on the planet so my family planner is going to come in handy. So glad I already have that ready to go!

Now, on to this weeks inspiration photo. It comes to us from Love & Olive Oil…

Don’t they just look delightful? I’m going to have to add this to my must try list. I can’t say I’ve ever thought of putting blueberries with chocolate, but I don’t see why not. Have any of you guys tried something like this? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Now it’s time for you to dazzle everyone with your genius…

It’s time for Friday Flair!

I have to say, I’m going to be a little sad tomorrow, now that the Olympics are over. Our family has totally gotten into the Olympic spirit this year and it’s been so fun! We have been watching the closing ceremonies tonight and I just had the pleasure of explaining to Hales that Victoria Beckham was Posh Spice long before Mr. Beckham ever came around, it was kind of funny.

Here are some fun things that caught my eye during this week’s Friday Flair…
