Dollar Daze~

It is thursday morning and i'm washing clothes and cleaning house for the 4TH of July weekend. It isn't raining so the kids and i are gonna spend the majority of the day outside. :) Love IT!

Do you secretly love the Dollar Store?? I DO! HEHE! I go every so often and pick up some random things. Like stickers and crayons and chalk for my girl. Sometimes i find pretty cool storage containers. I had to go the other day because i was in need of some gift bags and paper. And my haul was once again pretty random...glitter baton and princess bubbles, Popcorn containers, sea creatures that grown in water, and 2 very cool place mats for the kids. Pink with white polkadots and blue with white polkadots {or peepadots as my daughter calls them}. :) I thought they were to cute not to get a few of. I brought them home and you guessed it....monogrammed them! Now they are personalized and oh so cute!

I did their monogram in white. I like the white but if i make more i think i will do the monogram in a brighter contrasting color.

I'm off to start my holiday weekend. What are some of your big plans for this 4th of July holiday?

Make sure to check back next Tuesday. I have some CA-UTE things planned for next week!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!

Busy Weekend and a Little Bit of Red-White & Blue~

Friday was a good day. I finished up the Kitchen! I have EVERYTHING that belongs in the kitchen in the kitchen. You see...when we moved and started this house remodel the hubby gave me a "guesstimation" of when we would get to the kitchen remodel and how long it should take. So when we moved in and had this plan i only unpacked what i thought we needed till the remodel. That means we had like 15 unpacked boxes of Kitchen. And THAT was driving me loco!! Well we have been in our house for almost a year now and well the kitchen is no where near being done NOR is it on the list of things to do in the near future. So something had to be done. I unpacked everything and pulled everything out of the cabinets and got started. I worked and worked till the kitchen was done...organized and "decorated". Now i actually enjoy being in there. :)

Mid-day Friday i hit up a yardsale. JACKPOT! Tons of boy clothes...new or practically new. CUTE, Cute, cute stuff. I got some SA-weet deals. Mostly winter items. But here is what i got {sizes range from 18 months to 3t} : 4 pair of PJ's, 4 button up short sleeve tops, 5 button up long sleeve tops, 2 sweater vests, 5 sweaters, 4 pair of dress pants, 2 pair of jeans, 2 pair of shoes, 2 pair of shorts, swim trunks, couple of shorts outfits and a BLUE umbrella stroller. Grand total of 50 dollars. I say that is awesome for expensive name brand clothes. AND the hubby was happy.

Saturday came and the hubby loved what i did in the kitchen so much...he thought we should go down to the bonus room and do the same thing!! Our bonus room is another room in the house that is packed full of things that are still packed from the move and/or just down there cause we don't have the room it goes in remodeled. We worked hard but it still isn't done. So that is what i will be working on today. Nothing like seeing all your "JUNK" everywhere and not having a home for it to go to......Hubs is going to have LOTS to take to Goodwill today when he gets home. Cause i'm done looking at it!!

I don't know about you, but I am getting excited for the upcoming weekend - I just love the 4th of July! Great food, great company and a great day to celebrate...or weekend, right? Here area few photos just to get you in the mood.
