Bon Appetit

Dining room sneak peak.
After a little more playing around with accessories and the hanging of the pics on the wall we'll have a room ready and waiting for dinner guests.
Full photo shoot coming soon!

The (almost) finishing of the dining room project snowballed into the complete tearing apart of my family room decor~at 2AM last night. Hmm...now what? The possibilities are endless!
Don't worry hubs, no painting involved. Promise!

Weekend At My House


It's project time!
hi ho...hi ho...it's off to Home Depot we go. 
That would be me singing in a happy, excited sort of way.
For the hubs it would be in a bit of a grumpish, annoyed sort of way.

To the best husband ever,
I know after the last house you are soooooo over projects BUT just wanted to let you know that I think you're the coolest guy on the planet for loving me no matter what surprise projects I throw at you! XOXO

And to prove my love I painted you a (pink) love letter on the wall. 

Let's just hope the people who own this house after us never take down the ginormous chalkboard you're about ready to make and hang over this love creation.  

Yes, we made a 8ft x 4 ft chalkboard for the dining room this weekend. It's a cutey!

SO, 

 tickle me PINK the dining room is approaching done and I LOVE it!!
Pics to come soon. 

It's Monday. Make it a GREAT one!

P.S. Is there such thing as too many chalkboards in a house? I didn't think so.

It's Friday! Dinner At My House

If you came to dinner this weekend at my house we would eat something like this:

 (because i could eat toasted cheese and tomato everyday!)


We would drink something like this:

(by my imaginary pool of course.)


We would have happy conversations around my new dining table like this:

(score! mine came from downeast home...bargain!)


And enjoy the beautiful PINKness I painted on the walls. Yep, pink.
Remember the secret paint color and location from a couple days ago?
 PINK dining room!

 (no this is not my actual dining room. mines not quite done yet. ran out of paint. stay tuned.)


And lastly....
my most favorite part....

 We would all snap our fingers and sing along to this catchy song. Download it! It will put you in a happy mood!



Happy Friday all!

HA! HA! HA!

Yeah right!
An alternative for salt and vinegar chips and Red Robbin fries?
I doubt it.
But, if you're curious click here.

P.S. A little random but I really like THIS post about spending time with kiddos. If you've got kids I recommend reading it.

ZERO Checks


 These beautiful creatures exist in my town. To learn more read below.
No I haven't gone kookoo. Okay maybe a little.

So yesterday went nothing like I planned.
Zero completion on my To Do list.
Instead I attended a ballet barre class at another gym and I hated every minute of it. It was horrible and boring and the instructor kept talking about the "patella"and I wanted to yell at her and her fancy pants vocabulary. It's a knee! Just call it a freakin' knee lady! And during her winded lectures of multi planer and spinal articulation I couldn't help but stare at her arms. Her perfectly shaped itty bitty beautifully toned arms. And then I really hated her. Enough of that.


After that I made a stop for some paint. I cannot reveal what color or where it's going yet because my husband knows nothing about it and he just might kill me. It's my little secret. Well, not really anymore now I guess. Love you hot cakes.

Then my sister informed me that the return address on the card I sent her said Gilbert, WA. She was wondering where that was. I told her it's a very magical place where rainbow unicorns dance to OMD and the sun always shines (but doesn't give you wrinkles) and your family is always near by. It is also a place abundant with beautiful shoe stores where the shoes are always free. Sounds lovely doesn't it?

The evening ended with football practice at the most annoying park ever. With the two younger siblings in tow not stopping to smell the roses wasn't really an option. Ducks, stinky water, rocks, dirt, swings, and a starving, exhausted mom. What to do? Cross your fingers there are fruit snacks hiding in the bottom of your purse and smile. Just smile.

Today's a new day. Phew!
I'm definitely taking a nap.

Weekend At My House

This weekend I was smothered in everything kid. Haircuts, swimming, puppet shows, story time, bike riding, playgrounds, temper tantrums, pizza making...you get the idea. So, what's on the agenda for today? Can you say Mom time?

Mom time TO DO  list:
1. Catch up on Project Runway.
2. Make (my favorite) coconut bread.
3. Walk past the laundry.
4. Browse my latest In Style mag. (Just in. 2013 best beauty buys here.)
5. Wax eyebrows. (Interested in this new kit.)

And that is what I'll be doing today. Check, check, and check!

I hope you all find your Monday to be a great one. A really, REALLY great one!

P.S. I'm sure some of you have noticed a few changes in my posts. Where's TT or FFF? I'm over it. Thinking about a reinvention of this spot. Just not sure what, where, when. Until then, I'm just playing it by ear.

Playing Favorites

I absolutely love an inspiring quote that makes me happy. 
This one makes me extra happy. I think it just might be my new favorite.
Don't forget to smile!

Enjoy your weekend.
