Top 10 Pins of the Week #Pinterest

Here are some of my favorite #Pins this week:

Awwwwwww!!

DIY 20 Minute Beach Cover Up. Might have to try this!

Make your own feather duster. Might have to try this too since buying Swiffer dusters can be pricey!

I love Chipotle corn salsa! I hope this copycat recipe is the same!! Yumm!

I wish I was this organized!

Adorable!

I almost bought these at Target. I still want them.

Pretty.

This is a cool idea! I have lots of black picture frames!

I must remember this for the 4th of July

High Five for Friday!

So....I'm really bad at actually making this post on Fridays!! Anyway, linking up with http://www.frommygreydeskblog.com/ for another edition of High Five for Friday!

Here are some of my favorite things from the past week:

1. Finding a new trail to walk/jog on!! It's awesome! I only wish I found it sooner since we are moving this week!

2. The weather was beautiful and I spent an afternoon at the park reading. It was lovely!

3. We have our apartment pretty much completely packed up. I'm getting really anxious to move!

 

4. I started Couch to 5k this week! I'm using the rundouble app. Hopefully I can keep it up and get into better shape!

5. We celebrated my dad's birthday Friday by taking him out to eat! It was a good time!

Easy Greek Pasta Salad REMIX!

I made a DELISHHHH pasta salad a couple of days ago and I wanted to share the recipe with all of you!

Just looking at this photo makes me want to go eat a big bowl of it right now...YUM

Okay, so I started off with the Easy Greek Pasta Salad from The Happy Housewife (click this link for the original recipe). I decided to make a change because I do not like olives!! Before I begin, I think this was an amazing pasta salad, but you could make it into a regular salad and sub lettuce/spinach for the pasta for a healthier alternative! It would be great either way! I actually threw some spinach on my plate and mixed it into the pasta salad when I ate this the other night!! This recipe is so easy and versatile...you can add anything you want or have!! So here it is:

You will need:

• 12 oz box of bow tie pasta, cooked, drained, and rinsed
• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 1 cup Feta cheese crumbles
• 1.5 cups Greek Vinaigrette salad dressing (more or less, to taste)

Instructions:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl
• Refrigerate for 1-3 hours to allow flavors to infuse throughout

Notes:

• You could add chicken
• You could use any additional vegetables
• This is really good served with some crusty garlic bread!

Sorry, a day late again.

Time to reflect on some awesome things that happened this week! Linking up with http://www.frommygreydeskblog.com/!



1. We went to the zoo last weekend! Always fun! I usually like to pick my favorite animal of the day, and that day was the red panda! SO ADORBZZZZ!

2. My sis-in-law came to visit all the way from PA and we spent the night with her at a campground!

3. SQUATCH WATCHING WITH OUR SQUATCH KNOCKERS

4. Setting new records on Runkeeper! It's really fun to track my walks and try to beat my own records!

5. Starting to pack! This one is a little sad and a lotta happy because I really do like my old apartment, but I'm so excited to start a new chapter of my life in the next one! This year is so exciting and I'm sure a lot of great memories will be made in my new home! Can't wait until the move is OVER and we are settled :)

----------

1. For Ian's birthday, we went to downtown Madison to Wisconsin Film Festival. We walked around for awhile, then saw the movie "We're Not Broke". It was a good documentary, but we definitely left feeling angry.

2. We went to celebrate Ian's birthday with his family a few weekends ago. The day was really fun and we drank a lot of wine (and I was feelin' fine!)! Also, I had a classic drunk facebook status update that Ian and I are still joking about.

3. School is out for the summer!!

4. Free stuff from Target and JC Penney that I blogged about here and here.

5. Don't make me snap my fingers in a z formation, hip rotation, booty sensation! (I love saying this.)

6. Going to the Amana Colonies for a family gathering! I love spending time with my extended family and it was really neat to see Amana during Maifest!

7. My Jedi cat lol.

8. Random trips to DQ to get a "swirl". Hehe. *Bob's Burgers reference*

9. Finding awesome shows on Netflix Instant and watching ALL THE EPISODES as fast as I can because I get so into them.

10. I FINISHED the full 7 circuits of Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD. I have been trying to do this for weeks, and finally did it last week. So difficult!
