Just hanging out

I think the second I get walls that belong just to me I am going to follow along Ruby Ellen's idea and hang an indoor hammock. If you haven't stopped by Cakies before then you simply must- its one of my daily reads. Ruby's darling girls take center stage and really could not be any cuter, always dressed in their best and doing what kids do, have fun. I am always inspired by her crafts, meals and now indoor hammocks. Such a fun idea, I would have never thought to hang one inside but now that I see it I want one now. Just even more inspiration to finally getting out of the rental game and finally take the plunge into home ownership...hopefully someday soon, this SF rent is a killer! Be sure to stop by and say hi to Ruby, you wont be sorry, she's one fun momma I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet in person while in L.A.

Make this: Cold soba noodle salad

One of my most favorite blogs to read has got to be Cakies, a site filled with love, family, crazy crafty goodness and mouth watering meals. And when Ruby posted about her family meals consisting of that cold soba noodle salad my mouth started salivating on the spot. When we lived in L.A one of my favorite eateries was M Cafe, I could eat their soba noodle salad all day long so seeing this recipe not only brought back fantastic memories it made me long for those flavors all over again. So thank you Ruby for sharing I cannot wait to get my hands on these ingredients and try this for myself....seems easy enough.
