I Spy {Swoon Worthy Outdoor Escapes}

A while back I posted about my dream home where I am determined to one day reside. I still dream daily of living a carefree life beachside with my little kiddos and hubs-hmm wait, do I have to do the hubby part?! JK! However, a second dream of mine is to adopt…so in that case I could totally skip the husband part right?! ; ) Anyway, as you can probably guess I am not quite at the point in my life that I can just pack up everything I own and skip town for a tropical locale. All in due time!

Until then, we can feast our eyes on these outdoor escapes that send my perfection meter into overload!

For The Love Of Cooking

The mere sight of the word Morocco stops me in my tracks.  So, when I browsed through the delicious recipes of the 101 Cookbooks Blog it was a no-brainer that Heidi's (the talent behind 101)  Moroccan Mint Roasted Veggies would be this weeks recipe. 

Now here is a dish I have full confidence in duplicating!  
Mint, cumin, cinnamon, ginger...need I continue?!

I Spy: Moroccan Decor

As many of you know I am over the moon obsessed with Moroccan decor!  I am still to this day (3 years later) absolutely baffled by the fact that I did not decorate my entire house in gorgeous warm and rich shades of orange and pink with the most eccentric lanterns hanging from every corner!!

I dream daily about the day I pack up and move to South Beach where I plan to build my Moroccan Oasis...Living in Miami, tile flooring is a must as it is in Morocco...so duh is just the place if I am going to keep it in the States...right?!!
