Happy Friday! May is already here, and that means it's time to go through our favorite posts from April! Let's start with home tours. We loved sharing Elsie and Emma's video home tours with you! You can see Elsie's here and Emma's here.
So many great recipes this month! We shared chocolate mousse-filled strawberries, baked vegetarian sloppy joes, one pot creamy broccoli pasta, gummy candy, chocolate bubble waffles, spring salad nicoise, baked asparagus fries, cookies + cream baked donuts, and more!
We did an unboxing video of the April Messy Box and Happy Mail subscriptions. If you haven't already seen April's Happy Mail, it's seriously one of our favorites. Both are still available in our shop!
Laura showed us how to make glitter sunglasses and how to create this awesome eye manicure!
Elsie shared her favorite wallpaper sources, the best gold spray paint, and tips for painting a dining room table.
We showed you how to make easy clay votives, pleated pom pom curtains, a yarn fringe pillow, a wooden sofa sleeve with a cup holder, patterned photo mats, document plush pillows, how to use drawer knobs as wall hooks, a DIY utensil organizer, and more!
Emma shared some great self-promotion tips and a recent read, The $100 Startup.
Last but not least, we brought back our "At Home with" series. So excited about this! You can see all of our featured homes here.
Have a great weekend! -The ABM Team

I love that you do this monthly recap – as I missed some of those and I’m glad to know about them here (like those waffles and the pasta – holy yum! I think I have dinner and dessert figured out for tonight, and in that order too! lol 😉 )

Hi! I have just found your blog after searching for an online book club. I’m loving every single post.
I’m hoping that you’re still going to continue with the book club? I know you said that you were revisiting how you were going to go about it, but I hope that doesn’t mean it won’t continue eventually.
I’m starting with The Interestings, so I’ve got every month after then to keep busy with till it continues 🙂
