Good morning, friends! I woke up this morning to the sounds of thunder booming and rain hitting my window. A spring like thunderstorm was absolute bliss to lay in bed and listen to on the third of February! I hope your day started just as wonderfully!
I’m doing a little something new here at Buffalo Roam – sponsor swapping! I’m so excited to have both these girls, and so therefore, they are my first favorite thing on this Friday!
Ashley over at Attempts at Domestication is one of my favorite reads. She and her husband just bought their first house, so you’ll want to head over and see all the fabulous things she has planned!

I’m a newlywed housewife from Richmond, VA. My husband and I met as kids and dated all through college before getting married in April 2011. We love traveling, watching movies, hanging out with our friends, cooking and Star Wars. My blog, Attempts At Domestication, started as a way to keep my college friends who are scattered all over up to date on my life, but I’ve really gotten into the whole DIY blog thing. It keeps me motivated to try new things and to actually make the things I pin on Pinterest. I do posts about my attempts at DIY, crafts, throw in a lot of random stuff about my life and share recipes from time to time too. My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home (we close on Feb. 15!) so the blog will definitely shift focus to mainly home decor and DIY after the big move.

You can also follow her on Twitter and Pinterest!
My second is also an Ashley, and she blogs over at First Home Dreams. I stumbled across her blog one day, and was immediately hooked by her beautiful historic home, and all her fabulous projects.

Hi there! I’m Ashley, the rambling author of First Home Dreams, a blog dedicated to the restoration, renovation, and decoration of our brick farmhouse built in 1899. We’re located in Minesing, Ontario, Canada. We’re trying to do as much as we can ourselves, learning as we go. I hope you’ll pop on over!

Here are links to her Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!
If you’re interested in sponsoring, advertising, or swapping, shoot me an email – I’d love to work with you!
My second favorite thing today – white ink!

I know that may seem a little weird, but as a gal with several tattoos already, I feel I should warn you that they are, in fact, addicting. I think my spring fever is adding to my itch. The only problem is placement. I’m running out of space to put them that will allow me to remain gainfully employed and also not cast me into the social pariah circle. It’s a fine line to balance.
Third, antler and antler related things.

(via)
I accidentally stumbled into Hobby Lobby the other day, and they have all sorts of antler stuff now. Even fake mounts to hang on your wall. One of them was price-reduced down to $12.37, oddly enough. But I refrained. I decided I needed to save that $12.37 and put it in the “Buy a Real Antler Chandelier” fund for the living room. I’m on the hunt. (Pun intended.)
Fourth favorite thing – You! I like you.
So tell me, what’s up this weekend? Is it raining in your neck of the woods? Who else has/loves ink??
