Inspire me Monday #5: Pinspiration

March 23, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

It’s time for another Inspire Me Monday! A place where I share some of my current inspirations, and you can share yours as well.

Inspire Me Mondays

Good morning and happy Monday! It’s been a crazy few days over here so I’m gonna keep this a bit shorter than my usual lengthy ramble posts. Winking smile Big things are happening around here and I promise I’m going to share soon…just not yet. muahaha.

Pinspiration

I am slightly addicted to Pinterest, but who isn’t..right? Here are some pins that have jumped out at me and possibly made me drool all over my keyboard. (please pin from the links since this post isn’t the original post.)

Brookies (Brownie + Cookie) pinned to my Dessert [ I Heart Cookies ] board

brookie cookie + brownie 

Pretty sure my cookie board has the most pins…I seriously am a cookie monster.

Classic Bansai Bowls pinned to my Food [Breakfast] board

bonsai bowl 

The author admits this in her post, but this is pretty much a thick smoothie with toppings. Nothing wrong with that…but what the heck is a bansai bowl? Why not call a kettle a kettle? Winking smile Still…it involves fresh fruit deliciousness and it looks pretty.

Blondies Have More Fun pinned to my Desserts [Bars] [Brownies] [Breads]

I can’t decide if the title is clever or cutsie, but I definitely want to take a bite out of my screen.

Inspiration from the Blog:

Raspberry Homemade Fruit Roll Ups

raspberry homemade fruit roll ups or fruit leathers. super simple to make at home and perfect to roll-up for snacks, treats or running fuel. via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com 

I’m not gonna lie…I am insanely excited about how well this recipe turned out and just the overall concept. As I type, Dave is working on a mixed berry version which I’m going to start using as my training fuel for my upcoming half marathon! (Also on the menu…procrastinating my 7 mile run! Woot!)

Confessions of an Imperfect Blogger and Person

confessions of an imperfect blogger 

We all know that no one is perfect, but sometimes it’s hard to not compare our daily behind-the-scenes with the highlights of someone else’s life. It’s good to be reminded every once in a while that we all have our flaws. At least I certainly do.

Just a handful of bloggers who have been inspiring me lately.

Inspiration from Last Week’s Link-Up:

Marble Banana Bread via Treat and Trick

Easter Cupcakes via a Momless Mom

Most Clicked on Link From Last Week’s Link-Up:

Skinny Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

A very interesting recipe (and weird title because I’m not sure I agree on the “skinny” but maybe I’m missing something), but pretty creative. I want to try it.

    The little chick cupcakes are too cute! And I didn’t comment on your Confessions of an Imperfect Blogger post, but I loved every part of it. And I could relate to so many things you had mentioned. We’re all imperfect. And I’ve always like quirky and different more than put-together anyways!

      So glad you loved it, Kaylin!! I think it’s a good to remember we are all imperfect (and probably quirky and weird in our own way) because it’s really easy to forget!! <3
