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.
