Happy Sunday! This morning I am actually writing this from the Atlanta airport, on my way back from the World Domination Summit in Portland. While the whole trip was a bit of a whirlwind, it was great to catch up with my mom, sister, brother, and cousin. In addition to meeting Darren Rowse, who has been a huge source of inspiration for me since I started blogging, I also had a chance to hang out with my friends Michelle and Andy as well.
I usually attend conferences more for the connections than the actual sessions, but I have to say that Michael Hyatt’s keynote yesterday afternoon was downright awesome. I’ve seen him speak several times over the past year, and he always has great information to share, but this time he literally rocked the house. It was awesome!
But now, on to my picks for Weekend Wandering! There were once again well over 450 budget-friendly posts linked up this week at Thrifty Thursday, and as always, it was SO hard to choose! Here are just a few of the posts I loved:

First of all, This Pesto Caprese Macaroni Salad from Sizzling Eats looks so fresh and yummy! What a perfect summer meal!
This Southwest Quinoa Salad from Luv a Bargain is also hearty enough for a refreshing summer meal and it’s also gluten free. Wow, does that look good!
Keeping with the Southwest theme…A New York Foodie has an Easy Guacamole recipe that is just crying out for some tortilla chips. This would be perfect poolside with a frozen margarita!
Frugal Coupon Living has a Chipotle Parmesan Summer Corn Seasoning that sounds delicious!
Moving on to some sweeter treats. These Individual Frozen Key Lime Pies from This Silly Girl’s Life are so cute and look so tasty!
Switching gears to some cute projects, this No Sew Patchwork Teepee from Sunshine and Hurricanes is adorable and looks like so much fun.

Great links, Ruth. Thank you! I missed the WDS this year for the first time in a couple of years. I would have lived hearing Michael Hyatt– he seems to share from a place of wisdom. I hope you can share a few things you picked up. Portland is a lovely place to visit. Did you get to the food trucks and the farmer’s market? Love those!
