Bar Cart Love
(Pssst.....I'm over HERE today)
Minus special occasions, I have never been one for wine/mixed drinks. In the back of my mind I secretly cringe at drinking my calories (alcoholic or nonalcoholic).....I would rather splurge on something sweet. But during my pregnancy I did crave some Disaronno. So, Red and I bought some to have on hand as a celebratory cocktail after Reese was born. That brings me to today's post......I love a good bar cart. There is something so timeless and hospitable about a bar cart. Enough Said:

Welcome to the World my Little One
R was born June 13th at 6lbs 13oz. We could not be more in love with our little lady. In a word, I feel incredibly blessed......so blessed that God would give us the care of this little angel.

Small Bathrooms, Big Statement
First of all, I'm being featured over at Apartment Therapy today here.....thanks to everyone for all the kind comments. Whether you've been around for a while, or found RestlessOasis via my recent features in Knock off Decor /Apartment Therapy, I hope you decide to stay a while. I would love to hear from you!
Secondly, (besides the pending birth of our baby...HA), wallpapered bathrooms have been on my mind lately. Specifically- I love a small bathroom with wallpaper. So often, many of us don't know what to do with a such a small space....and end up not doing anything at all (right?). I love how these rooms are celebrated and beautiful without being overstyled. Insert big impact wallpaper.

Cauliflower rice
It's been a little while since my last "healthy living" post, so I thought I would share with you my current obsession. Cauliflower Rice. It sounds revolting (hence it taking me forever to give it a try), but I promise you it's genius. Besides being a healthier option, it's also takes less time to make if you can imagine that. Red actually prefers it to rice now. You can cook it on the stove (one of my friends does this, but I have yet to try) or you can make it this way:

(Images and recipe from one of my favorite blogs that I've found via pinterest, Delighted Momma . Be sure to check her out! )
It's really very simple.
1. wash/dry cauliflower
2. Cut into chunks
3. Shred into rice size pieces in food processor
4. Put it in the microwave for 5-6 minutes.
5. If we are eating it with something else, I usually just sprinkle it with salt & pepper and a little garlic powder ( you can add butter if you think it needs it). If we are eating it by itself, I add some green onions.......delicious.
The thing I find most surprising is that it actually tastes good AND there's enough moisture in the cauliflower to make it a nice consistency without adding any water. Pin-test success.
