Monthly Recap | June 2016

Whoah. Sorry, guys. This recap post is laaaaaate!

My most sincere apologies ♥

There’s been a lot going on in the CPL household as of late, so I took a very needed break from posting to get caught up on life. Keep reading for the details! 😉

First things first… last month in my recap post, I mentioned a specific announcement that I’d share with you this month. And I definitely keep my promises. So, you ready?!

Within the next month or two… we’ll be MOVING!

The husband and I are already in love with our new place & we can’t wait to give you a home tour once it’s picture-ready!

I hope this helps explain my partial absence here on the blog 🙂 But, I also want to let you know about a few more changes coming down the line. I’m going to continue slowing things down for a while because I want to give you guys the best content possible. So, I will not be posting twice a week for the foreseeable future, which means that I’m pressing pause on my #ThriftyTuesday and #DIYFriday series. I’ll still make posts, they just won’t be confined to a certain day during the week.

I’ve also spent a lot of time brainstorming, dreaming & planning about how I want to move forward with this blog, so don’t be surprised if you see more changes down the road! In the meantime, be sure to follow me on Pinterest [here] to see all the lovely things I find during the week.

Alright, now I want to recap some of my recent favorite things for you all…

FAVORITES THIS MONTH

• Homemade croutons… it’s so easy & cheap. I made some last weekend and the husband & I think they are definitely on-par with store-bought croutons. If you want a recipe, this is the one I used! I think I am due to make another batch soon.

PINNED THIS MONTH

• I found this amazing recipe for chocolate covered pretzels, which I tried & loved! Find it here.
• I can’t wait to make these chocolate & peanut butter greek yogurt popsicles. Perfect for the summer!
