I decided to revisit this recipe because of how much Grant and I still love it! I blogged about this a while ago, but it is still our go to pancake recipe, and I don’t think we will EVER go back! 🙂
At Christmas time, I got a gift card for William and Sonoma, part of it I used for the items in the previous post, the rest I used at West Elm because they are owned by the same company so you can use their cards for other stores as well as Pottery Barn. I had been wanting things for my bathroom, but since it wasn’t a necessity we weren’t spending money on it.
Sometimes things NEVER get blogged about because they are random or failures or just too little information to do its own post about. So, here are random things that have been going on and lots of these things are really old,but still things that happened so what the heck, I will blog about them.
So on March 3rd, we were invited to Ally’s birthday party. I never really get invited to these since they seem to fall during the day while Grant and I are working,but this birthday party was on the weekend so we were cool enough to get an invite! They had the birthday party at Kiddie Acres which is a kid’s sized amusement park in Austin. It is really close to where we live so that was convenient! I had a BUSY day to say the least. We were lucky enough to have Simon and Sarah Stay with us that weekend. It was the weekend before Grant left for his training in Chicago, I was hosting Elana’s Baby Shower that morning, then came to Ally’s birthday party, and then were able to spend some more time with Simon and Sarah. So to say the least, it was busy!
When I was younger, my mom bought me these two black and white pillows for my room. I loved black, white, and red in almost everything and really haven’t changed. I still love the pillow cases, but was never happy with the actual feather pillows inside. They were VERY prickly since I am assuming there wasn’t a lot of down inside. I decided to donate the insides and keep the pillow case cover especially since it was nice sturdy fabric as well as had a nice zipper on the bottom of the cases. My next issue was that these pillow cases were a custom size that most stores don’t sell, so, I went to Ikea and bought two of their 20″x20″ down feather pillows, but of course the cases were too big. So, I decided to make the cases smaller so that I wouldn’t have to buy a special sized pillow for these cases.
I don’t know why I am blogging about couches so much, but here is another one. I feel bad that this post is so late because we got this couch a month or two ago, and I helped my friend Ashley find one for herself, and she has already blogged about her new couch so I felt I needed to get moving. So, here is my post finally. As you all know, we wanted the Ikea Arild couch which is pictured below, but we just can’t find any being sold second hand since you cannot buy them new.
