Where Have May Days Gone.


I feel like I’ve been caught in a whirlwind the past few weeks.  I wish I could rattle off a list of things I’ve accomplished, but that is not the case.  I hope that tonight I can clean my house, make dinner, and start to get a little bit of schedule back in my life.  I have a new planner and list of ‘to-do’s’ so I’m hopeful I can start to get back on track.  Why I haven’t been on track is a mystery but it’s ok it happens every now and again…right?

Coffee Thoughts


This is my morning routine…cup of coffee on my way to work and then a cup tea. It’s Friday already. The week has dragged out and sped by at the same time if that makes sense. Haven’t gotten through half of my list this week…fail, but did get some good quality time with the Mr. and a few others so socially it was a successful week. I’ve found some great finds through pinterest this week.

Sugar doilies how cute would these be at a tea party.

You can find such great inspiration on the pinterest...


find them on my pinterest 'quotable' board

This weekend I have a full Saturday with a JL leadership class and the derby! Sunday I’m planning on getting a few projects finished up around the house and hopefully venturing to the outlets.
Happy Weekend!

May 2012

We are hopeing for lots of luck this May and a little extra free time to appear.  We have a few irons in the fire this month and would love to see them completed!  At the top of the list is the yard. 

We need to finish up clearing out some very unwanted weeds and replacing them with healthy and organized landscaping. 

The first step in the bathroom is being completed and I would love, love, love to see the additional bathroom start to take shape this month.

I would love to finalize plans for our summer/fall get-a-ways + the Mr.'s 30th celebration!

Happy May Day...I guess we should go dance around a pole with some ribbons or something.
So what do you have planned this month?

Coffee Thoughts

Happy Monday!

Had to share this wonderful little pinterest inspiration I found!  Yes I printed this for my bathroom mirror.

Anywhoo….my relaxing April is winding down. I didn’t do too much and it was a very nice little break. My calendar and to do list are starting to fill up again.

We are in full planning mode for a couple of little summer trips…so exciting! Summer weather has returned and I do not mind one bit!

I feel like the summer is always a great time to start over. School is out (yes I am not in school) but it’s still a great feeling. We have some really exciting things happening and I looking forward to what the next few months will reveal.

Make it a great week!

Friday Morning

I swear it has felt like a Friday for the last 3 days! It’s been a loooong week. A few fun things to report…

I almost started my Photography Class last night….however the instructor was a ‘no-show’ so the class will need to be rescheduled.
The Mr. took down our sliding shower door! Very exciting we have a new curved rod and I love it! We have wanted to do this for awhile and finally pulled the trigger. Pictures to come soon promise.
After a week long dose of steroids my poison oak is almost complete cleared up!

On the agenda for the weekend:

A little yoga + food festival
Facial – yes!! Check another item off my 30!
Shopping for and sewing a shower curtain
My little bro returns home after his 1st year of college! So excited to have him back.
And then some cleaning for some mid-week company.

Summer weather is here and I love it!! Happy Weekend!!

My List: 30 Before 30

I have roughly a year and a half before I hit the big 3-0. At the beginning of 2012 I decided I would create a little bucket list to complete before I leave my 20’s. I’ve tried to make it obtainable and fun. Since I have beginning to cross off one of items I decided I would reveal my first little section. Let me warn you some are very silly, few very important personal items, and some totally random things I’ve always kind of wanted to do and am going to (in the words of Nike) ‘just do it’.

So….here are the 1st set of 10 in random order…

1. Bake bread from scratch

2. Get a facial - I know crazy I've never had one.  I'm frightened I might have a crazy reaction but I hear they are very refreshing so why not give it a shot.

3. Kick a field goal from 15 yards - yep that's right I'm going to do it!

4. Spend a 2 whole uninterupted days, 48 hours, with my husband and NO phones!

5. Take a photography class - I'm starting this one tonight!!  I'm taking a 6 week continue ed class at a local college.

6. Harvest honey from bees - I haven't figured out how I'm going to pull this off but I've always wanted to do it.

7. Shoot a rifle - I want to do this on my Grandaddy's farm.

8. Take a mother/daughter weekend, just us girls....hopefully very soon.

9. Host a formal dinner party

10. Master flipping an egg - The Mr. is going to put to work to help me with this one.

Wish me luck!  Some may be a bit challenging but I'm looking forward to checking a few things off my life list.
