S'mores Galore!

Since we have been camping a lot this summer I've been in search of good/different/interesting/unique s'more recipes. I know it sounds strange, what can you do differently with graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows, but I am determined! 
S'more Rice Krispies Treats via Glorious Treats
Graham Cracker S'mores Cookies via Glorious Treats
S'mores Pops via Glorious Treats
S'mores Cupcakes via Glorious Treats
Beer Marshmallow S'mores via How Sweet It Is
Campfire Cookies via Keep It Simple Foods
So I thought I found a pretty good list of options and then I stumbled across Gotta Have S'more -- seriously a bakery dedicated to s'more muffins?! If only I lived closer ...

mason jars ... who knew?!

Who knew Mason jars could be so versatile? I've been seeing more and more people using them for everyday or special occasions. I recently used one for A's birthday as a fairy wand holder and thought it turned out cute. Then I came across 10 Things to Do with Mason Jars. There are some super cute ideas! Below are a couple of my favorite ideas.



Some additional cute ideas were found at the ediTORIal website. And a few more practical ideas are available on the Budget Wise Home blog. Enjoy!

Bathroom Redesign

Ok so it's more like designing for the first time. We have lived in our current home for almost a year and a half, but we have yet to decorate the downstairs bathroom. (Hey, I've been busy!) While coming home from our trip to North Carolina my DH and I discussed what we wanted to do. So now I'm ready, I know what I want ... the only problem is I need time and money to get it done! Here's some of the inspiration I've found.
This is the color of blue we want with white accents [source]
I like the base of this vanity, but not the counter portion [source]
I like these lights, maybe one on each side of the mirror [source]
I like the scroll work mirror, not sure if I could actually DIY-it [source]
