Since I’ve had a lemon cake recipe up for over a year now, I figured it was high time I post the very similar lime recipe. I feel like this would go really well with marshmallow frosting because that frosting is kinda similar to meringue. (Key lime pie, anyone?) But hey. Key lime or coconut frosting can’t be a bad idea either 😉 Let me know what you pair it with should you decide to try this recipe! Lime Cake…
Another round-up of five things I’m loving this week here on the blog. Here’s a little positivity for your Friday! Photo by Jeff Mindell of Studio DIY. 1. These DIY Fruit Slice Umbrellas from Studio DIY. What a beautiful blog Kelly has. And these fruit slice umbrellas are just to die for! Anything to brighten up a rainy day wins in my book.

We got to Portland Saturday evening and then slept under the stars by night. That was cute. On Sunday we took in as much of Port Elizabeth as we could and then boosted back to DC for as much sleep as possible before Monday morning (this ended up being about five hours for…
Did you miss me? As you may have noticed, I’ve been a tad distant lately. But such is life when you’re working with quite a few design work deadlines! Last weekend I went on a sweet road trip to New England with a few friends of mine. It was great because we spontaneously decided to do it Thursday evening and then departed the very next day.
