1. I haven't been around blogland much this week because my mom has been in town visiting from California.
I had a really wonderful week with her! She taught me the trick to keeping terrariums and succulents thriving indoors, and I can't wait to share with you all next week!
I just dropped her off at the airport. It never gets easier to say goodbye. I already miss her.
2. I'm hoping to get my bootie in gear next week to show you all the finished closet-turned-mudroom project that has been going on for over a year now! All my insta-peeps already saw this sneak peek.
I'm planning to paint the door tomorrow, so follow along on instagram for behind the scenes shots (carmel_ourfifthhouse).
3. Speaking of instagram, I've decided to start sharing more of my favorite paleo recipes there. Last week I shared my favorite paleo banana pancake recipe.
I'm still planning to share paleo recipes here on the blog from time to time, but sometimes taking a quick phone pic and posting a recipe on instagram is so much easier. For anyone not on instagram here's the recipe rundown: 3 bananas, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup almond butter, 1/4 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon, pinch of salt. They're so good I eat them with just a little grass fed butter - no syrup needed.
For more quick recipes like this follow me on instagram.
4. Since we're on the subject of Paleo, next week I'm planning to post the answers to the most frequently asked questions I've received from readers since embarking on my paleo adventure. So if you've got any burning paleo questions this is your last chance to throw them at me.
5. Lastly, for all my Game of Thrones peeps, how in the world are we going to survive?!?!?!?!?!?! Sunday nights will be so boring now.
Have a great weekend! I've been so busy hanging out with my mom that I have yet to get anything in the mail to my dad for Father's Day. #daughteroftheyear He just got back home from a 5 week vacation in Puerto Rico so don't feel too bad for him.
