Lazy weekend!

It's was a nice lazy weekend... well maybe not lazy but low key :-).  Saturday the girls and I enjoyed a "girls day" of shopping!  There were some really good sales.  Even the hubby made out in our shopping trip!

The rest of the weekend we hung home.  Accomplished a few small projects around the house but most of all we enjoyed some down time.  It's nice sometimes not to have to be any particular place at a specific time!  February is a crazy month for us so its been nice to have a few weekends this month to be low key.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Happy Monday!

Crazy week!

What a crazy week this has been!  TGIF!!!  I am so ready for the weekend!  We have no plans all weekend, so excited!  I am hoping to sleep in {ya know until like 7:30a/8a, LOL}... and maybe even accomplish some house projects too!  The next couple of weeks will be busy so I am trying to accomplish as much as I can around the house before it'll be put to the back burner for a while.

It's gymbuck redemption week this week!  Started Wednesday and usually I have already ordered and all my gymbucks are used but this time I am having the hardest time deciding.  The girls really don't need anymore winter stuff and since the spring line is still full price I am having a hard time deciding.  There are a few super cute bathing suits that the girls really like so those are a must!

Hope everyone had a good week!  Happy Friday!

Crazy girls!

Rest of the weekend

I had all intentions of posting yesterday but what a day I had!  It started out at the surgeons office to confirm whether or not I need to have surgery.  Unfortunately I do :-(  The recovery shouldn't be too bad, I am just more worried about the anesthesia, I hate that part, but everything will be okay.  After I got home, my husband went to the doctor because he wasn't feeling good all weekend, after an ultrasound at the hospital if confirmed he has a bad infection.  Thank goodness after some meds he will be okay.  He definitely had me worried!

I did get several little projects accomplished over the weekend which was nice.  These were things that have been on a "to do" list for 6+ months!  Ironed 5 curtain panels, hung a collage frame in my room, prints in Cam's room, finished the Valentine decorations, and even did some organizing!  I love weekends were I can actually get some things accomplished!

Rylie's Birthday Party

Today we got to celebrate Rylie's 5th Birthday with her!  The girls had a blast as always.  This gym is a ton of fun for the kids.  Happy 5th Birthday Rylie!

TGIF!!!

TGIF more then ever this week... this is my first 5 day work week in almost 6 weeks.  So lets just say its been a long one!  Plus throw in dance class started back for the girls this week as well, along with back to the gym, and juggling the hubby's busy schedule.

I am looking forward to tonight's Girls Bunco Night!  Yummy drinks, delicious, great laughs, good friends... great way to end the week!

We don't have too much planned this weekend so it should be a fun/relaxing weekend!  Love those!  Happy Friday!!

New Year = New Projects

It seems like once the New Year hits I get into house project mode.  All ideas are brewing through my head.  Pinterest definitely doesn't help.  I found this one photo gallery display that I LOVE!  Now I am determined to start this in my living room!  Isn't this awesome?! {this is from TatersandJello}

I've always wanted "barn yard" looking garage doors.  What a great idea and its less then $10 to do!  

Love how this bathroom mirror is framed out.... love this idea for the guest bathroom just in white!

I've been eyeing this idea for the bookcase in my office.  Looks like I'll be at Joann's this weekend for Fabric!
