Pinning and Pining: April 2014

Since we are in full kitchen reno mode, I thought a kitchen inspired Pinning and Pining would be appropriate.

Pinning:

These Gorgonzola truffles look delicious.  I love all the ingredients, so how can I not love them.  When the kitchen is done, I plan on making these.

I found a hack for a microwave built into Ikea's cabinets.  We had to get another microwave to fit it right, but I'm okay with that.

Pining:

Now, I need some cool things for our new kitchen.

Crate and Barrel

Amazon

A simple utensil holder, oil mister, and a turquoise immersion blender will all go nicely in the new kitchen.

Pinning and Pining: February 2014, Valentine's Edition

This month is a simple Pinning and Pining.

I love Salmon, and this Honey Salmon sounds great.  This will definitely be part of the Valentines menu.

Pining:


NHL

I have gotten back into hockey after too many years away.  Go Avs!  Nick and I will really enjoy this mutual gift to each other.

Pinning and Pining: January 2014

Well, it's a new year, and I'm looking forward to finding more to pin and pine.   January is a little slim right now.

Pinning:

I collect fortune cookie fortunes, and I think a bowl full of these clay fortune cookies would be fantastic!  May have my summer project lined up.

I found this at the right time.  We have one of these in Nick's office, and I would love to do this when we redo the floors in there this year.

Pining:



I'm pining for a new job.  I've been looking for a couple months, but haven't gotten very far.  I'm trying to keep optimistic, but it's been tough.  Hopefully, soon.

Colorado Avalanche
 I'm very excited to go to my first Colorado Avalanche game next week.  I've been wanting to go for a long time.  We are in the lower section, 3 row in the corner.  I can't wait to see the hits that close!

Next month, I will be pinning and pining sooner to give Nick a chance to get me something for Valentine's Day.

Pinning and Pining: December Wish List Edition


This month is all about the holidays.  I miss snow living in Florida, but I try to get into the holiday spirit with a Christmas tree, and cooking.

Pinning:
 I made this last year, and it was delicious!  I plan on making this every year.


This is my most repinned and liked pin on Pinterest.  I found this years ago, and finally pinned it last year.

Pining:
Nick and I don't usually exchange gifts.  We agree to buy things we've really wanted and call them "Christmas gifts".  This year Nick bought a Xbox One, and a new electric razor.  I bought some Packer items, and tickets to see NHL game (Avalanche @ Lightning).  I have lots of things I'm interested in though.  Below is my wish list of things I've been pining for, in no particular order:

Jewelry:







Accessories:



Bath and Body:





Home:





Kitchen:






Books:




Sports:





These are just a sampling of things I'd like to have, but of course don't need.  All I really need, I have.  And I'm grateful to be in a place in my life where I have the opportunity to get the things I want, and not have to decide which need is more important.  A sentiment I hope all of us remember this holiday season.
