My best friend came to town from TX this past weekend, and we went on what we thought was going to be a short hike, but ended up being 6 miles. But look at this view!

Beautiful pink roses Justin got me for our anniversary last week. They smelled heavenly! (Thank you, Costco)

You may have seen be talk about this cookbook on my Instagram, but I wanted to share it on the blog.

Welcome back! I decided to try something new on the blog today and share a cocktail recipe. Food and drink isn’t typically my forte, but I thought it’d be fun to share this yummy drink that’s perfect for summer! I love a simple cocktail, but this past weekend I played around a bit and created some tropical goodness.

Ingredients:

• Lemons
• Coconut Milk (I prefer sweetened coconut milk for the flavor, but you could use unsweetened if you prefer)
• Malibu Coconut Rum
• World Market Blood Orange Soda (you could also use this brand)
• Ice

There’s really no special way to add it all together, but I personally like to start with the ice, then add the rum, blood orange soda, top with coconut milk, then garnish with lemon!

Today is a very special day in the McAfee household because it’s Justin and I’s ONE YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. To those who have been married for years, I know a one year anniversary seems almost laughable. “Just wait until you’ve been married for 50 years”, they say. Or, “one day you’ll just be roommates with kids” and those comments break my heart to hear. The past 365 days haven’t always been easy, but I was never under the impression that they would be.

I briefly talked about this book here, but wanted to debut it again! It’s small, chic, and actually an interesting read.

We hung these a while ago, but I forgot to share! I love seeing these two photos as I walk to our bedroom.

Another Wednesday, another wishlist! Today’s post is all about organization, and specifically organization from The Container Store. Ever since owning my own home, it’s been slightly stressful to organize every room, closet, cupboard, drawer, etc. However, with the help of The Container Store, I’ve been able to put my mind at ease knowing every item in my home now has a place.

“Healthy” oatmeal banana chocolate chip cookies. Delicious, and guilt-free! Full recipe here.

Finally found a clock that’s black, large, and that I actually like!

Seriously the best product for blemishes! Read more about them here.

I’ve been using this eye serum for a month now and I’m officially impressed. I feel like it makes my eye area brighter and more “alive”, plus it’s under $10.

Wednesday, we meet again… For this weeks wishlist, I’ve curated a few items all from Nordstrom. Being located in Idaho, we don’t get the luxury of having large retail stores like Nordstrom. So, I’ve had to excel in the online shopping world. The great thing about Nordstrom is that they always have free shipping and free returns, no matter what you buy.

The famous Capri Blue Volcano candle. I love this scent and typically burn it in the kitchen or main living area.

I love a squeaky clean bathroom, and I just discovered that you can use these steel wool pads on porcelain.
