Our Weekend

Was full of all kinds of kickassery.....

like the sweetest stage five clinger. Ice cream sammichs. Baseball watching. Hand holding. Kidless dinner. Mexican run for chips & salsa after said dinner was craptastic. Fires. Male bonding. Romper purchasing (a-wee!). Jackie O inspiring. Beer drinking. Coming home to fresh cookies baked. Cousins together. Sprinkler running. My baby isn't so much of a baby anymore realization. Weather hot enough to melt your face off.

Hope you all also had a fabulous weekend with your families. And are as equally bummed to see Tuesday here already.

p.s. I still have 4 open slots for medium ads at the BOGO price. If you're anything like me, 'free' is music to your ears. And your wallet. Get on it! :)

Brookie told me yesterday afternoon that "since it's Mawmaw's 16th birthday today, we should all wear dresses for her party". Good call, kiddo. What better way to celebrate Mawmaw's sweet 16 then to dress up and go out in the gorgeous weather for dinner, shopping, and dessert? 

The Outback food was delish. The sales at Old Navy were fab. And the barista at Starbucks was pretty great in making us venti's when we only ordered grande's.

So I'd say we've had a pretty kick ace weekend so far (full of date night dinners with crappy food & pricey booze which turned into an early night home with ice cream & cheap wine, and a momma's day out today) and we still have our annual family picanic tomorrow.

Oh and it's supposed to be 93 degrees tomorrow. Let's hear it for schweaty betties and BBQ!





Linking up with Mandy at The Haps.

Floral Lovin'

One.//Two.//Three.//Four.//Five.//Six.//Seven.

Without a doubt, one of my favorite looks for this spring & summer. Who am I kidding? One of my favorite looks ever. So classic & feminine and easy to match with other prints. Love it.

Are you as George Swooney over floral as I am? Tell me where you find your favs, because SOMEBODY {won't mention any names here} has a birthday coming up and has a fascination with list making. Especially wish lists.  

Spoiler alert--it's me. Deets please. xoxo

oh here i am!

You may have noticed that I've been a wee bit MIA here lately. But I can't apologize for this. You'll understand once you hear my reasons, which are threefold.

1.) The toyroom/bedroom revamp.
The girls room & old nursery look like a hoarders paradise at the moment. And it's driving me bat shit crazy. But, as my husband adoringly (red font) reminds me, I can never start one project without finishing another. So I'm in the midst of two room do overs. And since my friend Laura & I finished painting the toy room...

it's all I want to focus on now. Green and pink and yellow and turquoise and chevron and polka dots, I can't wait for everything to be up and finished. Oh & to reclaim my master of the living room title again. Hobby Lobby has been my right hand man as has Pinterest, and I'm hoping to have a big reveal for y'all in the next few weeks.

2.) Hello ridiculously gorgeous weather.

I think it's safe to say summer has officially arrived in Ohio. It's been in the high 80's all weekend and looking ahead the next 10 days, I don't see much change ::fist pump:: We've spent more time outside than we have inside & all have the rosy cheeks to prove it.

Banana popsicles. Fresh produce. Grilling out. Windows down. SPF 50. Ice cream. Water. Adorable biscuits in adorable suits. Kinda makes me want to fist pump again.

and finally, 3.) Christian Grey.

Oh lordy. I should probably go pray, but I.cannot.put.these.books.down. Since getting the series last weekend, I've finished the first two books and am mid way through the third. I'd more than likely already be finished by now & restarting book one, but little things like work and motherhood just keep interfering...

It's smut. It's poorly written. And it's completely unrealistic. But? I'M SUCKED IN...for lack of a better term.

So? You get it, right? Clutter.Remodel.Sunshine.And smoot.

Amen.

this week(end)...

I could've high fived everyone I came in contact with this past weekend. Cashiers. Waiters. Your mom. Everyone! It was that fantastic. Gorgeous weather. No tantrums. No melt downs. And the girls behaved too!

Yep, this weekend was perfect. Full of beautiful spring weather. First time braided piggies. New reads.{Can I get a bwahahahaa at my mother buying me smut for Mother's Day?} Back seat grins. Milk side eyes at dinner. The girls first drive in movie. An afternoon with my Momma. Pedi's. Coffee. Fro-yo. Lunch. Starby's happy hour. Mother's day eve gifts from the hubs. Sleeping in. Mother's day gifts from my girls. Brunch coloring. Being together. Art work for the grandma's. Sunday naps. Steaks. Brownies. "Tangled".

::highfive!::
