Some Yummy Fruity Recipe Ideas...

Hello, hows your Tuesday? I am very un-motivated to do anything productive. Don't know if I am getting sick or what. There is nothing good on TV, so I am watching old episodes of Dance Moms on the internet and thinking about creating something. Might dabble in some quilting tops. Maybe a cute table cloth.

Pinterest never stops impressing me though. 

Here are some yummy fruit concoctions. I especially want to try the fruit salsa. 

Have a great day!

Saturday Morning Prettiness...

Hello, happy Saturday. IT has been unseasonably warm here in the mountains. Snow is forcasted today, but I think it may be rain we will see. 

I am just catching up today so I thought some more pinterest was in order. I really need to take some pics of my own to share. 

Anyways, have a happy weekend.

Dancing the Day Away!

Hello. I am so glad today is Friday. We are ready for the weekend. It should be a fun filled one.  Today the girls have dance. They were so excited last week to find out what their costumes are going to look like for the recital this year. I was able to find the stock photos online so I thought I would share. 

 

So cute. Hope you have a great Friday and do some dancing of you own.

I am heading off to school to volunteer today, but wanted to post a quick hello. 

I am having the best time surfing pinterest ideas so I thought I would share some more. 

Have a great day!

Fun Ideas for Valentines Day Decorating and Crafts

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. We have been very busy. Nothing exciting, just day to day activities. I am still on a mission to de-clutter the house, however it is accompanied by decorating for Valentines day so I am cluttering it back up. Oh well. Here are some great ideas from Pinterest for Valentines Day decorating and crafts. Must try some of these. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Maileg

Isn't this the cutest thing. My little girl got this for Christmas. It is the Princess and the Pea set from Maileg. I love it. Probably more than her. It is super cute. 

 

Hope your day is great. Just playing catch up here some more. 

 

Happy Tuesday!

-9 below 0 and Sunny....

Good Morning, happy Monday! Ahhh, school is back in session, house is humming with dishwasher and washer and dryer running. Pellet stove is burning and the sun is streaming through the windows. Today starts my cleaner eating. No sugar, bread or oils and drinking lots of water. I am thinking about starting yoga and trying to treadmill 20-30 minutes a day. My paperwhites have stalled, don't know if they are going to grow. Out of 6 bulbs, I have one that has exploded and is getting ready to bloom. I dug through my magazine stash and found some of my favorites. Time to sit down with some coffee and look through them. 

Hope your day is great!!!

Night Sledding and New Years Eve....

Here are the pictures from our wild New Years Eve...

We started a new fun family activity, night sledding. 

It is so much fun. These pics are from right before dark, because my camera just wasnt going to take them in the dark. 

Also, we enjoyed lots of noisemakers and 2013 sunglasses. 

Fun. 

Have a great day!

New Years Resolutions...

I am not much into resolutions. I think it puts way too much pressure on an already hectic life. But this year I have a few...

1. volunteer less ( I really need to learn how to say no)

2. read and play with my kids more. I have gotten really used to my older daughter reading to my little one as homework. 

3. get more exercise.... need I say more?

4. learn to take really good pictures and try to make my photos look more professional (already learning my new camera)

5. make homemade noodles (trying this this weekend)

6. finish a granny square blanket (I am getting on to this one pretty good)

anyways... this is my list. I think it is pretty doable... maybe the only obsticle is the the exercise... he he!

Hope you have a great weekend.

Greengate Summer 2013

Happy Friday!

It is super cold, -25 degrees outside and I am happily dreaming about the Greengate Summer 2013 collection. I have to emphasize dreaming because it is pretty hard to get in the USA, not to mention pricey. I think I would justify a few pieces if I could get it. Oh well. 

I have to just satisfy my obsession with copy-cats and the occasional Ebay find. 

Have a great day, we are hoping to get in some sledding today.

Fresh New Year

 Fresh new flowers starting to grow. I love paperwhites...

 My geraniums are making it through the winter nicely...

and I love this spray by Cath Kidston...

Hello.  Happy Thursday!

I am doing much better today. I am hoping to shampoo carpets today. Yesterday was a great day for catching up, but now today I am doing more clearing out and cleaning. I have a recent obsession with old Cleanhouse episodes on Netflix (much to my childrens dismay) and am cleaning house. 

Have a great day!

New Calendars For a New Year...

Happy Wednesday everyone. Just a quick post to show you my fridge calendars. I have been cleaning and cleaning, trying to get laundry done, re-arrange furniture, haul out any clutter, upload pictures... etc. I am going crazy.  I got a fun new camera for Christmas and am trying to learn how to unload it. It seems to be working. Hopefully there will be some new exciting picture taking opportunities in the new year.  We are 5 days until school starts up again, and they girls are driving me bonkers.  Right now the dog is woofing at me and the beeper is going off on the dryer....

I need a spa day!

Hope your day is great!

P.S. Loving my Tilda cutouts. Perfect for my calendars.
