Odd$ and End$ - Last Day of School Edition

Today is my oldest daughter's last day of preschool. The school year went fast and we are looking forward to the summer: playing at the park, swimming, picnics, running in the sprinkler, ice cream cones. Good times!

This week's carnivals:

• Carnival of Personal Finance at Canadian Finance Blog
• Finance Blog Carnival at Maximizing Money

Some interesting reads this week:

• I have discovered design blogs and many of them are DIY-ers and very inspiring. Layla, from The Lettered Cottage , and her husband recently renovated their dining room. WOW, some people are so creative. Thank goodness for design blogs because I was not blessed with that gene.
• Laura from Decor To Adore just finished at 23 year DIY project. You will be truly inspired. Congratulations Laura!

My Favorite Food Posts this week:

• Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake with Fresh Berries at Red Couch Recipes - this looks amazing!
• Mojito Shrimp at Heart N Soul Cooking - I certainly have the mint for this recipe.
• Foraging for food; what a neat concept. Butter Powered Bike has foraged for wild asparagus and now morel mushrooms. Free food right on her property.
