Happy Tuesday....

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. Ours was full of coming and going. We spent alot of time outside. Lots of flower planting, yard cleaning, playing and marshmallow roasting. We flew kites, played in the sprinklers, ate popsicles and just had a great time. We have one more week of school left, which looks to be a full week and then we are done for another year. With everything going on, it really couldnt happen soon enough for me.  Its time to have some space from everyone who robs me of all my sanity and joy. I am sorry to say that it happens, but it does. I don't know why so many choose to live their lives full of drama and lies, but it is they who have to live with them. For now, I choose to focus on me, my family and my close friends. Lets get this show on the road and close this chapter in our lives. 

Have a wonderful day and enjoy those close to you!

Summers right around the corner...

Hello, happy Wednesday. I don't know about where you are, but around here, we have a very wet end of Winter, which we lovingly call "Spring". And then we catapult into Summer. It is all very fast. But we still get the cold evenings until 4th of July. It has been very common for us in the past to be sitting outside watching fireworks in blankets and coats. Today was a very nice warm Summery day. We spent part of it at school for field day, then my oldest daughter felt sick so we left. But we still finished out picnic outside. It was lovely. 

Everyone feels better now. But I am glad we could spend the afternoon together. 

Hope your day is filled with sunshine.

Baskets Blankets and Owls....

My kids are always tossing my pillows and blankets off of the couch. So I set up this vintage laundry basket to hold what is not in use. I love it. 

Also, check out whooos watching all the excitement. 

I love scentsy!

Have a great Monday!!!

Fun Paper Goodies....

Happy Friday! 

Just wanted to post more organizing goodies. This time its my paper goods. Fun toothpicks, napkins, cupcake holders and other goodies. 

I love that I can spruce up the simplest of lunches with some fun whimsical goodies. 

And this cabinet is another one that just makes me smile.

 We are headed out to our good friend's house to visit, celebrate, and welcome spring. Just might take in a garage sale or two. 

Have a great day!

Drawers Full of Fun

Hello, Happy Thursday!

A while ago, I got busy on a cold blustery day and organized my pantry and cabinets (well some of them) and a few drawers. I decided instead of all the junk in the drawers, that just kept adding up, I would have a spice drawer and a sprinkle drawer. Yes I know... sprinkles? We use sprinkles all the time. On cupcakes, on cookies, on ice cream... they are just fun. 

 So nothing makes me smile more than opening that drawer full of fun to remember all the times that sprinkles are needed. 

Funny how something so simple can bring such joy!

Hope your day is sunny!

Morning Goodies...

Good morning. Coffee?

Time for some coffee and a something sweet. Just figuring out a grocery list. 

Hope your day is just as Sweet!

 

Mothers Day Flowers...

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a great Mothers day Weekend. Ours was busy but good. We had dance recitals the whole weekend. But It was fun. The girls had a blast and danced great. We also squeezed in eating out for breakfast and dinner in there as well as a hike. Whew! Now I feel that I can breath a little. What a great weekend. 

I was also treated to lots of flowers this weekend. 

Most of these flowers were from my girls dance teacher, some were from the girls to me on mothers day, and the rose was my corsage during the recital 

( I was lucky to be able to help behind the scenes)

Now to kick off a great Summer season, only 3 more short weeks of school and they are jam packed with fun and activity. 

Have a great day!

Learning a Lesson about getting involved and wishing I was on a beach right now....

Last week I learned a huge lesson about getting in the middle of issues. I am on a volunteer board of 6 women and somehow I ended up in the middle of a disagreement. And worse, I ended up the bad guy. Now this week, I am trying to dig myself out and lay low and I find myself wishing I was on a beach somewhere. My kids playing in the sand, away from all the stress and drama. I am thinking moving to a secluded spot, homeschooling my kids and raising them to be free of all of lifes stresses would be really great. Oh well, back to reality and to school. 

 

Hope your day is great! ( and maybe a little sandy)
