spring color: inspiration for a mint and blue wedding

Mint and blue.  Preppy and classy with a side of travel.

Baby's Breath bouquet from Heather Glen

Aren't these mint bridesmaids' dresses dreamy?  I love the ruffle details 

around the hem, and it looks like the bride let her girls choose their own 

shoes in silver.  That's what I did and my bridesmaids really appreciated it!

Baby's breath is one of the most affordable wedding flowers

because it's seen as a "filler flower."  This aisle decor would

be a cinch to DIY with wholesale baby's breath and ribbon.

I can't do a mint round-up without a minty drink!

I don't know about you, but as far as I'm concerned, it's now officially summer.

Love and Lavender

spring color: mint

This spring's mint is a fresh take on 1980's seafoam.  Here are the color pairings I've seen that make mint contemporary, feminine and chic.

WATCH.

• This summer's season of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE premieres this Thursday, May 24th. Wives, if you need help convincing your husbands that you need to watch a dance show, show them this video.

READ.

• Michelle's post on being a people-pleaser at her blog, SomeGirl's Website, really rang true for me.  Do all teachers struggle with this?  Probably.  All bloggers?  Almost definitely.
• If I wasn't already girl-crushing on Scarlett Johansson after watching The Avengers, her Huffington Post article about weight and exercise would have done the trick.

COOK.

• The Country Cook's Sweet Chicken Nuggets taste very close to Chick-Fil-A, and the post includes a honey mustard recipe - I thought the honey mustard was a little thin so I added brown sugar to mine.

pink and green cheer me up; it's my inner prep.

One of the things about being married that I'm still getting used to is Mr. Q sometimes knowing better than me what is good for me.  Yesterday was a prime example.  On the majority of Friday afternoons I am exhausted after going at 100% all week.  Last week was busy and stressful - afterschool tutoring, talent show auditions, a parent calling the principal when I wasn't available to take his phone call, trying to find a tactful way to explain to said parent that his child had lied to him, finding out that one of the seventh grade teachers used our textbook last year and having to change my lesson plan at the last minute, and finding out that one of my best friends is having a really tough personal situation... my plan for the evening was going to bed.  After which I would have probably woken up still grumpy.

Mr. Q changed my plan for the evening to dinner with the guys followed by this amazingness...

Sweet Frog cheesecake, peanut butter and strawberry frozen yogurt with cherries and waffle cone!
