    Isn’t She Lovely

    Isn’t she wonderful? Not a bad song to have stuck in your head on a Monday morning. Well…Last night I tried to upload photos for well over 2 hours and I finally threw in the towel. I’ve had major issues with a full start-up disk on my Mac and the hubs has been trying to upload all my photos from iPhoto to the Cloud while I sit in the corner and have a mini heart attack that all my pictures will disappear. All that to say, no weekend re-cap, but we did have lots of fun! I’ll be back tomorrow with a full recap of life lately because if they husband…

    Weekend Thoughts

    My two year old took his diaper off and ran around the house dancing and singing Let It Go. It was pretty darn cute. Until he climbed up on the couch and pooped. And then somehow got it on his foot. And walked around. So that was fun. My 6 year old has also had the worst attitude this past week. So bad I almost made him clean up the poop. If this is an indication of what he’ll be like at 16 one of us is not going to make it. My computer’s hard-drive is also full making uploading pictures impossible hence no real weekend recap, not that you…

    Marinated Farmer’s Market Salad with Feta

The vegetables can be found at your local farmer’s market or grocery store and you probably already have all the other ingredients you need sitting in your pantry. *Note: Make sure you make this a few hours ahead of time that way the marinade really soaks into the salad. What You’ll Need: Adapted from here -3 medium to large tomatoes, cut into chunks -3 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick -1 onion cut into small slices or rings and separated -1/2 cup feta cheese {For…

    Friday, Friday

    Happy Friday!!! These weeks are flying by and I’m definitely not complaining. Summer weekends are just the best. This weekend is even more special because we’ll be celebrating the husband’s 34th birthday all weekend long, complete with presents and cake on Sunday, his actual day of birth. My 5 this week are ideas for celebrating your man’s birthday that don’t include a deck of cards with 52 ways I love you written on them. //one// Although I’m not a Jack Daniel’s fan, my husband is and these cupcakes are the perfect mix of dessert and booze so you really can’t go wrong. source //two// This is almost as cheesy as…

    Our New Home {The Before}

    It’s been almost two months since we’ve moved into our new house and if I put off showing you all pictures anymore it might just be Christmas before I get to it. Now when I say “before” pics, the house we bought was lived in for a mere 3 months. The fridge was brand spanking new so either the people never ate or bought it new to help sell the house. The couple who bought the land built the house, but ended up not living here very long due to his profession (doctor) and also what we think was a nasty little affair while he was still married. His loss,…
