Remember Lord of the Flies? Apparently a group of 6 boys ended up on a deserted island with no adults for 15 months in 1965, and it was nothing like that at all.  Makes me feel better about human nature, really.

These movie posters arranged as flatlays are so interesting and gorgeous.

These aerial photographs of different agricultural fields are so hypnotic.

A few tips on how to be more optimistic, if you are struggling with keeping positive.

My Favourite Pins This Week

Easy dinners for the barbecue or the oven, whatever you refer- these chicken and veggie foil packets are SO easy, and so delicious. Easy to substitute for whatever veg you have, too! Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe is right over here.

My mom made these bars and we could NOT stop eating them! I think they lasted just about 24 hours, and then they were all gone. I stumbled across the recipe on Pinterest recently, and got so excited- I can’t wait to eat all of these again make these! Pinterest link is here, and the easy-peasy recipe is here.

How fantastic are these leopard pom poms from Hiber Knits? I’m amazed at how easy teh technique is, and they look so great. Perfect for topping hats, gifts, making a pom pom garland, throwing them at your cats, really, you can never have too many pom poms around, I think. Pinterest link is here, and the step-by-step tutorial is here.

I am so in love with these crochet dish scrubbies! They are the same structure as the plastic kind, only you can make these out of some cotton, linen, or hemp and reduce your plastic consumption (yay!), while also potentially destashing. I don’t know how to crochet this sort of mesh, but I want these scrubbies so badly, I might learn! Pinterest link is here, and the full pattern and instructions are over here. 

If you have a small outdoor space, this is such an inspiring round up of different styles and ideas for taking a tiny balcony or patio to next-level beautiful. I think it’s safe to say we’ll all be spending a lot more time at home this summer so it makes sense to enjoy as much of whatever bit of the outdoors we have!

I hope you have a safe and lovely weekend, full of comfortable moments and little treats for yourselves. xo
