Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have great, fun, and relaxing plans for the weekend. The Olympic Games are wrapping up this weekend so if you haven’t been watching this is your last chance to soak up some winter sport fun!
A few links to wrap up the week:

What do you think about edible front yards?
I’m a little obsessed with the Approval Matrix.

Confession time everyone: I still have our holiday wreath hanging on the front door. Sure, it is small and it doesn’t by any means scream Christmas in February, but still. As it is almost March it is definitely time to replace it with a more Spring/Summer appropriate look. Even if the weather doesn’t seem to think so. I think one of these paper wreaths would be a nice addition to our black door, and would be really fun to make!
Top to bottom: Recycled Magazine Wreath (this wreath is sewn together, I think I will take the easy way out with a wreath form and a hot glue gun), Circle Punch Paper Wreath (the instructions are for a holiday wreath but since you can easily adjust the color palette it can be made for any season), and Looped Paper Wreath (another holiday idea but again with the right paper anything goes!)
Inspired to play with paper but don’t need a wreath? Try your hand at a Junk Mail Starburst Clock.
We could always use some extra seating options, especially in the kitchen where the only way to enjoy a cozy fire is to sit very un-cozily on the cold hard floor. I’m hoping to remedy that with some floor cushions, though lately they have become pretty hard to find, I was able to round-up three options that I really like.

The only thing that could make me happier than watching a US team win an Olympic medal is watching a US team who are also students at U of M win an Olympic medal! Much hand wringing, finger crossing, and let’s be honest, yelling was had at our house the past few nights. So excited for these two Wolverines, Meryl Davis and Charlie White. Congratulations, and GO BLUE!!
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! One of the highlights over here was roasting marshmallows in the fireplace. A warm, gooey, toasty marshmallow is one of life’s simplest and most yummy pleasures. Especially when you sandwich it in a delicious S’more, as we did! And I’m awarding us bonus points for only catching the stick on fire once.
