Back to Reality

So sad…sometimes it’s nice to get home after vacation. This time I could have used a few more days. I’ve been back to work for a week now and back in the routine of things.

It was a fantastic vacation!!! The Mr. and I are not good at planning relaxing vacations we try to pack in as much fun as possible. A couple of days the Mr. dropped me off at the beach and then went off on his own adventures. I have tons of pictures haven’t sat down to sort through them all quite yet…stay tuned photos to come soon, promise.

So what’s new in our Bungalow?

Well we are in full brewing mode. Beer has taken over! The Mr. wants to put a 7ft freezer in our guest room!! Yes our future baby room, he said and I quote “it can double as a changing table”. This is where I have drawn the line. So I spend a good portion of the weekend cleaning out shelving in laundry room to make space for his equipment. We did have time for a Sunday Batman date night.

I’m a sucker for some Batman.  The middle got a little lengthy but the ending made up for it!  Definitely need to see it but it’s very long so don’t go too late at time.

Happy Monday!  Promise I'm back on the ball and have fun things to share this week!

A little catch up

Happy Belated 4th of July!

We have had some bad luck in our bungalow the past couple of days.

#1 - 5 gallons of pale ale the Mr. had brewed leaked all through our bedroom.

#2 - our kitchen facet handle broke off and needed to be replaced.  This has been a challenge to say the least.  We went without water all day on the 4th.  And it's still leaking.  However I do love our new facet just waiting on it to work correctly.

old one:

new one:

#3 - we had guests at our place before fireworks and bought beer.  The case we bought had a malfunctioned cap and decided to leak on our ivory rug.

So at least we can say we've had our 3 so hopefully our luck has turned around just in time for our vacay!

I did get a lot of time to decorate for the 4th while the Mr. was working on sink :)

Our new end table from Ballard...love it!  Need to work on styling it but here it is for now.

I found the deal on living social and now it’s my new favorite work out. It’s a blast!

I can't wait for this view at a new beach [for us] in Rehoboth, DE.

 I’m less than 2 weeks from a vacation, a much needed vacay.

I'm love reliving my sorority years by helping my cousin get ready for rush this Fall!

 

All things turquoise! I got some earring like this for Christmas last year and I love them. Serious you can wear them with pretty much everything. It’s such a pretty pop of color for boring work clothes.

Happy Hump Day!

Fresh & Clean in the Summer

It was so nice to wake up on a Monday morning to a fresh and clean house. Thanks to my mama for all of her help. The housework had definitely piled up over a busy couple of weeks. I’m happy to say I’m back on the ball and I am within site of our vacay, t-minus 14 days.

Since I’m back on top of things I’ve created my summer bucket List! I’m so so excited to enjoy summertime! My list looks a little like this….

Coffee Thoughts

Summer has arrived….thank heavens.

Life just seems a little be easier but a lot busier in the summer, hence the lack of posts.  It’s hard trying to get everything done plus capitalize on catching a few rays and not gaining a million points on summer treats.

I have a very full weekend of ‘to-do’ fingers crossed it all gets accomplished.

Happy 1st Weekend of Summer!

Mid Week Pretty

Never under estimate the beauty of mixing texture!

Babies in our Bungalow

No not from us.  Just some new baby birds in the near future.  We have had quite a bit of activity in our hanging ferns on the front porch.  It started with watching a few birds steal the leaves.  Then over the weekend when it started to rain I pulled them down to put out in the rain.  And I found these little guys....

So we will not be watering this fern anytime soon.
