Hi there......

Very random today....that's what happens when you stay gone for so long ; )

This is my all time favorite breakfast.....toasty bread, eggs, and greens- yumm!

I moved Avery's bed in front of the window- not sure if I like it, but it's going to stay that way for a while.

and I finally hung her tissue pom-poms from her b-day party in the corner of her room.

The trader joe's roasted red pepper and tomato soup is sooo good! I made croutons to top it with and added a little Parmesan cheese. I've never been crazy about tomato soup but this was really good!

Have you seen these? I bought them for the kids and they love them! It's milk flavored straws. You just put the straw in your milk and drink. D got cookies and cream and A got strawberry. And the best part there's no artificial anything in them or preservatives and gluten free.

No schooll day yesterday so we baked. Frosted sugar cookies with sprinkles on top "for the kids" ; )

Then we made our Valentine boxes.
I'm working on re-doing the upstairs bonus room. Hopefully It will all come together soon.
And we have a few other "big" things going on that I'm excited to share (for those that don't already know)

Ok...is that making you want to come back for more???

I hope so!!

Have a great weekend!

Our snowless snowman....

I have to admit, I really wish we would get one good snow.
That's it.
Not a big blizzard, like last year.
Just enough to cover the ground and be able to play in.

Unfortunately that doesn't look very hopeful.

but that doesn't stop us from making a snowman.

All you need is:
empty tp roll
paint
construction paper
buttons
ribbon
black marker

Then let your kids get their hands dirty.....

Isn't he cute??

I think it's safe to say, this will be our only snowman we make this year.

How about you?

{2012 Organizing Goals}

It's dark and gloomy here in TN and I'm finding it hard to get motivated.

So I thought I would share some of my organizing goals (via pinterest) with you in the hopes that it will be enough motivation for me to get started today.....and maybe you too ; )

1. Organizing Kids school work.
With having two kids in school and one already in 4th grade, this is at the top of my list!

2. Organized Pantry
Okay I know I said I was doing this a while back, but unfortunately it never got done. I love the baskets here and the use of storage for things other than food.

3. Organizing Pictures
This would be a huge accomplishment for me to get done! My pictures are all over the place and I don't want to risk loosing anymore than I already have.

4. Keep the paper clutter away!
For some reason this is a constant battle for me. So I am determined to put that to an end!

5. Last but not least: Daily List
I am a visual person. If I see it I can do it. So I want to be consistent in using a daily list to help me accomplish my goals.
