GOOD THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE.


Being away from the mister so much in the past few weeks has really made me doubly appreciate being home and enjoying the little things.

Sometimes its good to be reminded that life is too short to take the important things for granted.

HAPPY SATURDAY.

I hope you are having a beautiful holiday weekend- we took a nature walk this morning, lazed around the house and are about to head out to my baby sisters high school graduation!

I feel like ice cream is a necessity today. For sure.

HERS AND HIS STYLE: LITTLE FAM.

Have I mentioned I love our evening walks? Oh, I have? Well lets just set it in stone here and now, I really love them. Because I know you care :)

This particular night was warm and cloudy and was really a stunner- we walked to get dinner and the husb went to get ice cream. It had been a particularly rough day and I couldn't have asked to end it any better.

I love my little fam.

IN THE KITCHEN: GLUTEN FREE PASTA SALAD.

I have been cutting Gluten out of my diet more and more and finding yummy alternatives to my favorite foods  hasn't always been easy. It has been really hit or miss with gluten free pastas but I really enjoyed the Brown Rice variety I tried with this recipe. This is a great side to a cook out or taking to work for a light lunch!

You will need:
12oz Gluten Free Pasta (I used Tinkyada Brown Rice Elbow Pasta)
1/2 small red onion, diced
1 medium avocado, peeled and cubed
1 lemon
1 cucumber
1 cup Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup lite mayo
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp fresh dill

1. In a small bowl place your chopped onion and vinegar and let sit while you prepare the rest of the dish. This will help soften the flavor of the onion.

2. Prepare your pasta according to the packaging- drain, rinse in cool water and let it cool completely.

3. While your pasta is cooking and cooling, in a medium mixing bowl mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

4. Stir in yogurt, mayo, cucumbers, white wine vinegar, sugar and another squeeze of lemon juice. Mix well. Drain onions of vinegar and add to bowl. Add the dill.

5. Put your pasta in your serving dish and fold in the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and let the flavors develop.

Serve chilled- would be delicious with a sparkling lime water on your picnic blanket!

IN THE DAPPLED SUNLIGHT.

This past weekend was beyond b-e-a-u-tiful! I just wanted to spend every moment outside. Nate and I spent lots of time together because I am traveling again this week for work. I miss my little nuggets so much when I am away!

I love the collar on this shirt- so retro. And the lace is so girly, really a perfect combination. I wore this to lunch on the patio and running errands, easy breezy!
she wore: Forever 21
he wore: Target tee

I hope you all have a magical Tuesday- I will be packing to leave this evening and spending lots of time cuddling Stella while watching Portlandia (um- how did I miss this show until now??)

INSPIRATION: TWIN PALMS

 Twin Palms Sinatra Estate, Palm Springs. Designer E. Stewart Williams 1947 Photo Source

I have been so inspired by architecture these past few weeks, old and new. The Sinatra Estate is an easy favorite from mid century modern architecture and I just die over the windows! Other architects from Mid Century worth checking out- Charles Eames, Richard Neutra, Frank Lloyd Wright, and R.M. Schindler.

HERS AND HIS STYLE: BEAUTIFUL BLUE.

Happy Friday!

I am glad to see the end of this work week- and start what I can only assume will be an amazing weekend! The mister and I celebrated the start of the weekend with a little Mexican dinner, some ice cream treats and SNL reruns.

I guess we were both feeling this lovely shade of bright blue today, and aviators- great minds think alike!
