Balcony Dreams

One of the best parts about my apartment is that it has a perfect little balcony looking over a grassy area outside of my apartment. The problem is, we almost never use it. Now that it is getting warmer I want to spice it up and use it more! Here are some things I know would motivate us to spend more time outside.

My dream balcony includes:

1. Boxwoods
2. Lots of Mossy Pots
3. A bright colored patio set
4. Mercury glass lanterns
5. A tiny succulent garden

Friday Fun

Since it is Friday and in honor of my little herb seedlings, which are just sprouting! (Aren't they cute?) I wanted to feature some delicious looking cocktails made with herbs from Martha Stewart! There are lots on her website and in last month's planting issue of Martha Steward Living but here are my favorites! (click the photos for the full recipes!)

Frozen watermelon cubes double as ice in your drink!

I love any mojtios and these honeydew ones look amazing!

Okay, so these don't officially have any alcohol in them but they are so darn cute... Plus, I know you, you are creative, you will figure out to spruce these right up!

I am very happy it is Friday, even though I had Monday off, this week seems like it has crawled by. The weather promises more rain around here but Mitchell and I are taking a mini vacation to SF so cross your fingers we get at least a few hours of sun! What are your exciting weekend plans? It must be sunny somewhere right?
