I should be back soon, I promise

Sorry I have been M.I.A for a while, I have had a lot going on. I should be back soon, I promise. Hopefully I can get some good posts up later this week, since I have a lot of photos to share! : )

In the meantime please enjoy some rain soaked Andromeda flowers from measuring in the rain this morning, since they look a lot prettier rain soaked than I do!

the perfect avacado

I had no plans of boring you with a post about an avacado BUT I am going to since the other night I cut into what I thought was going to be an over ripe avacado that I would throw right away and it ended up being PERFECT!!!!

So here is my PERFECT avacado! I was so excited!

A Anthropologie Napkin

So I recently discovered that I heart Anthropologie. But sadly my budget doesn't really allow me to do much shopping there. I don't even look at the clothes, I don't want to be tempted. I just head the housewares sections since there is at least a thing or two over there I might be able to afford.

The first time I checked it out, I got....drum roll...one napkin from the sale rack! hahahaha That is about all I can afford there! But I think it looks nice on my buffet and in the center of my dining room table!

I will get my nice things in baby steps! One cloth napkin at a time!!!! : )

A Fallen Friend

So I was very excited to receive from Nora a shiny hot pink gnome. Seriously, who wouldn't be!?! I got him for christmas and for a brief moment I thought he was an elf and I was very sad I was going to have to put him away with the christmas decorations! Then thankfully I came to my senses and realized he was a gnome and he could be out year round and thus he remained standing proud and tall on my night stand.

Take a peak, don't you love him!?!



Oh no, do you see what I see? OH NO!!!! He fell off my night stand and broke!!!!!!!!!



Thankfully I think a quick super glue surgery should restore him good as new. Perhaps I will schedule that surgery for today. Snow days are good days for gnome fixing right?

Soap Holder

So I got this pretty plate at Homegoods a while ago, and although I hearted it, I think I had only used it once and that was such a shame.





Then I saw in one of my magazines someone had this pretty silver tray that they used for salt, pepper, etc.. Things that they used cooking, but then also brought to the table for serving. And I thought, what a good idea. Then that gave me the idea to use my pretty plate to hold all my soaps and sponges in the kitchen to make it nice and neat and keep the rim of the sink soap residue and clutter free!

I love this idea, so I figured I would share! It keeps things neat, and looks pretty! Just the way I like everything to be! Neat and Pretty! : )






Note to self- Pale green dish soap coordinates much better than bright blue dish soap! : )
Yes that is dish soap, I find it much easy to have it with a pump! And the sponges and brush are tucked behind all the bottles.

Little Brother is a Home Owner!!!

So my brother Kevin just closed on his first home! A condo for him and his little dog Deja. So my family went over there the day he got his keys to check it out! It is so nice! Especially the kitchen! I am way jealous. And he has a garbage disposal! I dream of having a garbage disposal!

I got him some nice housewarming gifts!



There was one piece of furniture when we visited, but Kevin sure was excited to have his own place! And look a fireplace!



I told him to pose, but this is what I got! He is excited on the inside!



And look at that great mom!

Congrats Kevin!!!!!!

My Favorite Valentine

Guess who sent me a Valentine???? oxoxoxox Right back at you Sean!



It looks like Sean might be cheating on me with Pepper!

Some Poppies to Brighten your Day

I sit here blogging as the snow falls once again...and fall and falls...so instead of more pictures of the snow, I thought perhaps today I would surprise you with some pictures of things to come! Something to lift your spirits and brighten your snowy day! Enjoy! : )

Crate and Barrel Glasses

So I was a very good girl....well sort of! I had wanted some glasses from Crate and Barrel around christmas and was planning on using christmas money for them. But I ran out of christmas money long before I made it to the mall....so I decided that would just need to wait rather then use my magic money for them (aka credit card) Good Girl Megan!

BUT I made a ton of money babysitting two weeks ago, so I decided I could head over to Crate and Barrel and armed with $40 cash get some new stuff! Good Girl Megan- not the shopping part, but the waiting and using cash part! : )

What did I get you ask?????
(click on text above picture for links)

I got one of these. Since I keep breaking the ones I have.

I got 4 of these. They are very thin, I give them about 3 months! haha



Then I got 6 of these. Not that I don't still heart my plastic Target tumblers and my stolen beer pints, but I decided this girl was ready for some grown-up glasses!



I brought all my new loot home, washed them, and of course tested them!!! : )















Yep they work just fine!!!!!!! : )
