So I was totally going to finish up our Maui trip today.  And then I realized that we are having a garage sale tomorrow and I should probably get my act together.  Hold on to the edge of your seats for Monday's Maui finale.  Stop by our house tomorrow to buy our crap.  I mean find yourselves some treasures.

Today I'd like to do a little blog housekeeping.  I announced the winners of the Mohawk Rug giveaway and the Paisley Print Boutique giveaway.  Were you a lucky winner?

Aloha again! Beings Nate and I spent the last week and a half exploring Maui, we have zero projects to share.  But who doesn't want to see other people's vacation photos? I personally love vacation photos. 

Nate and I explored almost the entire island of Maui.  We passed on a couple of stretches of road that would void our rental car agreement.  Pansies.

One of our days was spent traveling the Road to Hana. The drive is popular in Maui because there is so much to see and do. The trip is only about 50 miles but it's on a narrow two lane road with lots of one lane bridges.  I almost forgot the estimated 600 turns in the road.  The reviews made us think this road was sketchy and that I would be barfing my motion-sick little brains out.  I popped a Bonine and we hit the road with Nate behind the wheel.

Aloha!  Nate and I returned home from Maui on Friday.  We had a fantastic time!  Maui is full of beautiful scenery and definitely kept us busy.  We're currently working on trying to remember how to live non-vacation life.  Alarm clocks?  Work?  Feed the dog? 

Happy Monday!  Hope your weekend was fabulous.  Nate and I have been hanging in Maui since last Wednesday so our weekend was, of course, amazing.  How could it not be?  It's Maui.

Beings not much new is happening on the home front, let's continue our Then and Now series.  (Check out our living room, kitchen and master bathroom!)

You may remember that our powder room looks like this.  You also may not remember this because we haven't touched this room since 2011.  Crazy.

I was wandering aimlessly through Hobby Lobby a few weeks back and I stumbled across this metal/wood map of the world. I was very drawn to it.  You know how inanimate objects sometimes speak to you? This one was yelling at me.  

(Excuse my crap pictures. I've clearly mastered our new camera.)

It's Friday! It's Friday!  Who's pumped for the weekend?  We're supposed to have some stellar weather tomorrow. I can't wait!  There is hope for Iowa after all.

Today I'd like to share with you our favorite coffee cake recipe.  We call it Extra Crumble Coffee cake.  Because it has extra crumble.  We're also clever.
