5 Things- Pinterest Edition

Sorry that this is coming late today.
The terrible twos have been in full forth at my house.
Lots of whining and a super short nap- awesome.

Anyway I thought that I would share with you a few of the pinterest projects that I hope to try in the next 6 months or so.
That gives me a little over a month per project. I think that I can handle that.

5 Things

Hey Guys!
It's Friday again so I am going to share some of the things that I am loving on this week.

Fresh Tomatoes

My Mother In-law just picked the first batch of tomatoes from her garden... yum! I am determined to plant my own garden this year so I can grow some delicious tomatoes of my own.

Pooh Bear

source
I love this quote- it reminds me a lot of the one from "The Help" but with proper grammar. My mom also used to read us a lot of Winnie the Pooh when we were little so I love the pictures.

Bluum

I got my first Bluum package in the mail in the beginning of the week. If you haven't heard of Bluum, it's a company that sends you a little package of goodies once a month to try for you and your baby. They had a good deal on a 3 month membership on Plum District plus I had a $10 gift card from my Santa photos for the site so I got a pretty good deal on it.

Bubblegum Mini Skinny

I love Baby Gap's mini skinnys. They look so freakin' cute on my daughter. They just rolled out their spring line with lots of fun colors and I pretty much want them all.

Wasabi and Soy Sauce Almonds

Blue Diamond Wasabi and Soy Sauce Almonds are amazing.I'm kind of addicted to these but my husband thinks that they disgusting. Then again- he won't eat sushi so he isn't use to wasabi.


I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! We have a friend in town and I think we are going boating so mine should be pretty awesome. Don't forget to check out the sweet giveaway that I have going on right now.

Nella's 2 for 2 Fund

source

Blogger, Photographer, Writer & Mama- Kelle Hampton has launched the 2 for 2 campaign in honor of her daughter Nella who was born with Down Syndrome. All of the money raised goes towards raising awareness of Down Syndrome and provides opportunities for those with Down Syndrome and their families. Kelle is about $20,000 away from her goal of raising $200,000 by Nella's second birthday on January 22nd.

Hearts in Chicken Noodle Soup

source

I saw this on Pinterest and I think it is an adorable idea, especially with Valentine's Day right around the corner. I also think that it would be cool to cut the carrots in all kinds of shapes and use it as a learning tool.

New Cell Phone Cover


I got a cover for my new phone the other day and I absolutely love it! Mallorie turned me on to Society6 and they have so many great designs to choose from.

Kitchen Closet Re-do

source

We have this huge closet in our kitchen that just gets piled up with junk. This picture is my inspiration for what I would like to do with that closet. Our closet is about twice the length of this one so we would do half like this(but a little less fancy) and the other half with shelving for storage. We have a contractor coming by in a couple of weeks to help us get started.

Paper Roll


I've had my eye on a paper roll for Aubs for awhile down. The ones that I found online were $30 plus except for the one from Ikea. The only catch is that it wasn't available online from Ikea. So I finally drove my butt down there last Friday and picked one up. It was only $6.99 and $4.99 for the paper. Such a steal! It was super easy to put together too. We love it, my only regret is not getting it sooner.

Last put certainly not least-
The winner of the 200 follower giveaway is Jaime M. and she actually just started blogging so head on over and say hi!

5 Things

It's Friday again!
How was your week, mine was pretty good but kind of boring.
Time to share some of my favorite things of the week.

Flash Face

I rarely use my flash and this is one of the reasons why.
It makes Aubs do this "flash face". I kind of love it but it's not exactly frame worthy.

Words that Inspire

source
I have always been a big fan of quotes and now that Pinterest is around I have full on access to them written in pretty script with pretty prints. You know who always pins the best quotes? Joanna
You can follow her Pinterest here.

Soup

We only get little glimpses of winter here in Florida. Today we are- it's a breezy 60 degrees. I take full advantage and eat soup for lunch whenever I can. Lately it has been Panera low fat chicken tortilla that I buy at Sam's Club. I also chop up half of a small avocado and put it on top with some low fat cheese. I really want to make my own so that I'm not eating all of those preservatives. I'm definitely going to try Karly's recipe some time soon.

The New NBC Thursday Line-up

source
The hubs and I are big fans of Parks & Rec so we are super excited for new episodes. The bonus is that all the shows that night are good. We didn't really like Community but that's off now and Up All Night (which is hysterical) took it's place.
Oh and 30 Rock is back- woo hoo!

New iPhone

I finally got an iPhone. Yeah I know I'm a late to the game. Last year when we when to Verizon to get me one my husband and the sales guy talked me into getting a droid instead. The droid was alright but the pictures were crap and every time I listened to music my phone would shut down after 3 songs. So far I'm happy with the iPhone. Siri and I are already bffs.

I hope that you all have a fabulous weekend and don't forget to check out my Giveaway! It's a good one.
