Grey Obsessed Lately....

Hello, Happy Monday. I am on a cleaning frenzy today, but had to sit a bit and eat lunch. I thought it would be a perfect time to add a quick post. I am completely obsessed with grey lately. I keep planning any future living spaces in my head and they keep going to grey. There are so many different greys out there. I love them. And I have to admit Ikea has lots.  Thank goodness Pinterest  is around to feed my grey need. 

Hope your day is great!

Fall is in the air....

Fall is in the air. The weather is cooler, the nights are definately cooler. The girls are in school. And things are getting back on track. Today I am busy. I have invested myself in too many different activities and the daily calmness I had hoped to get, has been averted. Oh well. At least I live a rich full life. For now I am taking a dream break. I dream of a wonderful front porch and all the great decorating options that come with it. 

Happy Thursday!!!

Boot shopping for Mom...

Hello! Hope your day is going great. We are cleaning house (as usual), getting haircuts, and going to Preschool open house tonight. Busy day. In a few weeks, me and my good friend are going fall shopping for us. We are both on the lookout for boots. I love the idea of tall boot socks poking out above the boots. Or just leg warmers for over the top. I cant wait to go searching. 

Hope your day is great!

Ready for Fall...

I am ready for Fall. I wasn't sure until today, but I am ready. Today was cool, and overcast. Drizzly and breezy. I had the windows open all day and there was a nip in the air. We baked cookies and did laundry and loved it. I love Summer. But am always ready for Fall. 

Happy Monday!

Happy Friday. I thought I would post a few pics of some of my progress. It may not seem like much, but this desk was piled high with odds and ends. There will be more pics soon. 

This weekend is a busy one.We have our local county fair and will be there a bit. Plus I am hoping to have a cookout sometime this weekend as well as watch some fireworks. Should be a great weekend. 

Have a great one.

Organizing Time...

I have been buzzing around the house, trying to clean and declutter. Yesterday I started to clean and organize our den. It is a computer-craft-excersize-storage area and it is a mess. I am tired of tripping over stuff and it is not a creative space that I would like. So out with the clutter and in with the organizing. There is something about back to school that gets me moving with organizing. Especially with school supplies, I love them!!!

Hope your day is going well. Have a great one.

Fun Craft Project Idea... Glitter, Glitter, Glitter....

I love Moose. And the idea of a bunch of glittered ones around my house just really makes me happy. I also think I need some fancy clips for my kitchen. I think the next shopping trip will include some fun glitter and a stock up on all the cheap elmers glue out there. So fun

Have a great day!

Cooking Out...

I am so happy to say I finally got my fire pit. Hubby dug it this weekend and we cooked out on it Sunday. It was a blast. I wanted it earlier this summer, but with the fire danger and fire bans, it just wasnt going to happen. Now we have had lots of monsoonal weather and it was time. We were able to build it without any cost, thanks to family who gave us brick, and our own hard work. I couldn't be happier. I look forward to many fun cookouts this summer and fall. Maybe even winter. Now wouldn't that be fun. 

Have a great day!

Furry Visitor...

Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a great weekend. We had an exciting one. Our town has been visited. We live in the middle of the mountains, in a fairly flatter part of the county, and don't usually see many bears. But this year, they are coming in for a visit. We live towards the end of town and as far as I know, they have not been here yet. But I do know they visited a house about a mile down the road. Not too far. Exciting, but a little scary. 

Have a great day!!!

(p.s. these are not actual pics. I do not think I would be brave enough to get this close to a hungry bear). Thanks Pinterest.

New Ikea Goodies

Last Friday I got to go enjoy the one year anniversary of our Ikea opening here in Colorado. I was hoping to win a gift card, but didnt. Thats ok. I was able to get a look at some of the fun new looks they came out with. I especially loved the Chandelier with the fabric strips hanging down. (see top pic). It was great. We also got some much needed back to school shopping done. Whew. Happy that over. Hope your week is going well. I am ready for the weekend.
