Bathroom Storage Inspiration...

I am on a mission to organize my home. We are anticipating a move in late summer and I feel the need to organize and make it as easy as possible. So this month and next I will be doing much needed purge and organizing. 

Here are some great ideas from Pinterest.

LOVE them. 

Happy Wednesday!

Some Fun and Flowery Valentines Decorations...

 This wreath was actually made years ago, but when I hung it on the door, it sort of looks like a heart, obviously I wasn't paying very good attention to how I glued on the flowers. Ha Ha. 

 Fun twist on the original paper chain. Love this!

 A yummy candy staple that we indulge in every year. 

 Whats left of my roses...

Valentines... so soon?

Yes I know, it seems soon, but it is only a month away and my girls wanted to decorate, sooo.... who was I to disappoint. 

; )

We had fun making lots of papery sweetness. 

Also, I am loving my new candle from walmart, a steal at $3.99.

Mandarin Cranberry, yum. 

Happy Tuesday!

Fresh Pink Roses...On a Snowy Snowy Day!

Hello, Hello, Happy Monday!

I am enjoying some fresh flowers and coffee while doing the mundane chores in the house.
Laundry, dishes, etc. 

I look forward to sharing some de-cluttering and organizing that I am working on this week, as well as some fun decorating as well. 

Have a great week!

Squat and Push Up 31 Day Bootcamp

Hello, Happy Monday. Ahhh, the kids are back to school, the house is humming with washer and dryer running, the toys are put away, and I am having coffee and catching up on my TV Shows. I have started this Squat and Push Up 31 day bootcamp program that I found on Facebook. So far it seems to be pretty fun. Dont know how I will feel about it at the end of the month, but we will see. 

I am also trying some great infused water recipes that I have found on Pinterest, ( what would I do without pinterest?)  

Enjoy the peace and quiet if you can. 

I will.... till 3:45

Ha ha.

Thirty One Bags...

Hello, happy Sunday!

I am so happy to be up before my kiddos and hubby today. I am enjoying my coffee, looking through pinterest, and finding so many wonderful ways to use my thirty one bags. I am loving all the great ways people use them. I love these bags, gave quite a few for Christmas gifts this year. I am lucky (maybe) to know two lovely ladies that sell them and they love to tell me all the ways to use them as well. 

If you have never heard of them, check their website

Have a great day, I am off to do more cleaning and decluttering, and them maybe some sledding.

Mrs. Meyers Clean Day.... Basil, ahhhhh.....

Hello, Happy Saturday!

I just wanted to pop in and tell you about my favorite new scent for the new year. It is Mrs. Meyers Clean Day in Basil. YUM!  It smells so fresh. It just makes me want to clean, clean, clean. 

Hard to believe, but true. 

Today we are cleaning out closets, I am on a roll, cant stop. 

Gotta go.... Have a great weekend.

New Year, New Routine....

Hello, Happy Happy Friday!

We just got home from the dollar store. I love the dollar store. They have started their dollar days and there were lots of great cleaning products as well as these super cute tubs. I am trying to get the girls excited about helping me more this year. One of the things I have done, is put together cleaning kits for the bathrooms. My girls helped me this morning and I think they have it. Along with bathroom cleaning, they are going to start helping with laundry and loading the dishwasher as needed. I am super excited to start this new chapter. It may cause me some more work, but maybe, just maybe they will appreciate mom more.  Hmmmm, we will see. 

Have a great day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Is everyone ready. 

Lets make it a great one!

 

Happy New Year's Eve.....

Happy New Years' Eve. 

My goodness, this year flew by. Right now I am cooking raviollis, after cleaning and cleaning today. I am ready for a new year of possibilities. 

Ready to clear out clutter, decided what matters most, including how I volunteer my time.

Spending more quality time with my girls, they are growing so fast. 

And just being excited for what the future brings.

Come on 2014, 

I am ready.

Hope yours is a happy, safe, night. 

 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas. 

These are some of the scents and smells around our house this morning. Yummy Centerpiece on the table (thanks Mom), 

A pretty silver candle and Norwegian Incense and a great Silver owl from my best friend. Thank you. My house smells wonderful!

We are happily settling in for opening Christmas presents and enjoying the quietness of the morning. Santa made quite a visit to us last night. I can hardly walk through the living room.

Hope your day is great!

Peppermint Bark...

 So so easy. 

Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips, spread in a pan on wax paper, put in the refrigerator to cool until hard. 

Melt white chips, spread over top of semisweet, 

sprinkle crushed candy canes, 

put back in fridge to harden. 

Take out when hard, break and put in a pretty container. 

done. 

So so easy. 

Hello. Hope your week is going great. Just wanted to wish everyone out in Blogland, Merry Christmas Eve. We are hoping to have a very relaxed day. I look forward to sitting, crocheting and maybe a little pie making. I want to catch up on all the fun Christmas shows with my girls, snuggled up on the couch. 

They are anxiously awaiting Santa's visit tonight. I admit, so am I. I think there are going to be some happy girls tomorrow. 

There might be some more posts later. But if not. Merry Christmas to all.

Antics of a Very Naughty Elf on the Shelf...

This year, we decided to start the Elf on the shelf tradition. 

Our Elf has been very busy this year. 

She has hidden in stockings, the tree, on top of a plush moose head, ridden a horse, hung upside down from the lamp, hidden in a toy horse stable, played with the gingerbread houses, hid by the coffee pot and put bows all over the bathroom mirrors. 

I will be glad when Christmas is finally here. 

I will post more pictures later of her crazy antics. 

Happy Monday!

Fiesta Ware....

Hello, happy Sunday. 

Hope your weekend is going great. 

Today I am dreaming of colorful Fiesta ware. I have often seen this at yard sales and stores, and I admit, it never really appealed to me. But then I saw this Purple pitcher and that color makes me really happy for some reason. So thanks to Pinterest I have found lots of yummy colors to make me happy. 

Hope your Sunday is great!
