Wants VS. Needs

On Monday my mom called me at 8pm and was telling me about how great her week is going. While I'm happy my mom is having a good week the first thing I said was, "Mom, it's Monday don't you think you're jumping the gun?!" She is so funny sometimes but it makes me so happy she's already having a great "week." Lord knows that woman deserves it.

I've been in a huge cooking mood this week and I'm planning on sharing some recipes soon for Tuna Cakes and Planko Tilapia. Here's a picture sneak peak of the Tuna Cakes:


Can I just say that I am SO happy July is over with! I swear every year that month just seems to drag on and on. My favorite season is next... FALL! I absolutely can't wait for another beautiful Northwest (No, not talking about Kanye's baby) Fall. I'm already on the lookout for candy corn and I really need to decide on what I'm going to be for Halloween.

I also really want to go spend some money. I get in these shopping moods every couple of months and one is hitting me now... I NEED THINGS. Okay, I don't really need anything but I want, OH HOW I WANT!

Feel free to send me any of the following as gifts:


Cartier inspired swag.
Oh and you can buy me the REAL thing here... if you've got 6K just laying around.

Why is everything I want so dang expensive?! But... I could use all of it at the same time... how cute would I be!?
