currently {march edition}

dreaming: about future coffee dates around cities – thanks so very much for all of the love about our new link-up. emily and i are both so excited for our march french press morning. for more info – a simply grey coffee tour. please join us – go out and explore local coffee shops, snap some photos and link-up with us on the last friday of every month!!

making: plans to cover many of the interior drawers and built-ins with fun designs in willow. i love the photo above and am also thinking about doing some small white and black polka dots {or gold polka dots!!}. any advice for the process or where to buy the materials? would love to do…

planning: we are starting to plan some more road trips… bring on the hot tamales {our go-to snack!} more info coming soon- along with photos from our trips to raleigh and annapolis last month! 

baking: how fun and delicious do these cake based donuts look!? 

watching: mr. monaco and i are at the end of season four of parenthood and i am obviously still – head over heels- in love -with everything about it! if you have watched it- you know why. also, a fun fact that i just found out… did you know that adam and sarah date in real life? they have been serious for many years… so crazy. although it’s very weird because they play brother and sister on the show- they are adorable together. completely loving some braverman time before bed… so good.

 what are you up to currently? 
 linking up with Jenna and Anne

    What a beautiful image!

    I LOVE Parenthood and started re-watching the series after the new year. Currently mid season 2. It's my go-to when I get home from work (and sometimes part of an episode before work). Just watched the episode with Crosby and Jabar: "But you're a boat guy. This is a boat and you're a boat guy." and my heart melted all over again. So cute. One of my favorite shows of all time.

    Love your idea for a coffee shop link up! Added it to my calendar.

    It's so weird watching the show knowing that! Like, "I know you're kissing your fake brother in real life!"

    That's a fun linkup idea! I work out of coffee shops a lot – I should try out some new ones around town… And yes, those donuts look way too good.

    I love Parenthood! SO good. It was super weird to watch Sarah & Adam when I realized they were dating in real life! I miss the Bravermans now that it's over! 🙁

      love it… so much! super weird, but think they're adorable, too?! i don't want the seasons to end. it's so amazing. and this is random- but are you from new bremen, ohio? if not- i am so sorry. i am from a town close to new bremen and know of a brittany bergman there that my little cousins know … 🙂 but just thought I would ask and i am excited either way to have you stopping in- thanks for the love! have a great weekend!! xo

    I really want to start watching Parenthood, even though it's wayyy past the point. (I always seem to do that with series and then when I want to talk about an episode, my friends are always like, "Em. That show ended like 6 months ago.") You already know about my extreme love of donuts, so I'm not even going there 😉

      sorry for the delay… i meant to write back soon! umm… you NEED to watch Parenthood- it's my favorite of all time! we watch it on our laptop/on netflix in bed almost every night and it's SO good. seriously. it's so amazing. and i can't get enough donuts in my life. ♥
