My pintrest life

I'm still sick, which royally sucks.

I mean were on day 10 here people.

I know what you're gonna say, "why haven't you gone to the DR."

Well the truth is I keep telling myself it has to be on the tail end, I mean how long can this possibly last. So I wait another day, and another, and well here I am on day 10.

 

So, lots of sleepless nights lead to lots of pintrest love...

 

I really want to paint my red wall in my kitchen this turquoise color

 

It will be amazing.

 

 

I have been so short tempered with my kids because I don't feel good-

I constantly need a reminder that there is no perfect mom.

 

 

I saw this and loved it. (I don't have a basement, I do live in Texas after all).

 My sister Anna could (& should) totally do this.

 

 

and I want some Lace in my life

 

 

Sometimes I need a reminder to be myself and not try to fit other people's mold of what they think I am or should be.

 

Here's to hoping I wake up feeling better tomorrow.

If not, maybe I will finally go to the DR. (maybe ;) )

Ribbon Pinspiration

 

Here is my Pinspiration for the week. My effort to make Pintrest more than JUST a time suck.

I have an abundance of ribbon spilling over in all areas of my house. And I already had a large jar that I used to hold my ribbon scraps. So for this project I only had to buy the Popsicle sticks and pins.

Ever since I found out Miss Monroe was a girl, I just can't pass up a super cute spool. The lid didn't fit on this overflowing box anymore.

Some of my spools were new and full

and it made for a FAT roll.

Some were half empty

It was pretty simple. You just wrap it around until the roll is done and then stick a pin in it to hold it.

I did this in a couple of hours while the kiddos were playing.

It IS time consuming, but it's mindless. You can do it while catching up on shows or sitting with the kids while they play.

 

Here is my finished jar, and I still have room left in there.

Which means now I can buy more ribbon ;)

What has Pintrest done for you lately?

Outfit Pinspiration

I LOVE Pintrest...who doesn't? But I want for it to be more than just a timesuck.

In my new hope to be regular feature, i will bring some "Pins" to life.

Here is an outfit that I pinned some time ago.

 

 I loved the green and navy combo but didnt think I could/would pull off green pants.

 LOVE

I found some green pants at Old Navy for super cheap( like $20 cheap) and went back and forth on what to pair then with. Here is the outfit as I wore it...

 I also realized that I do not own a full length mirror, I will have to remedy that soon.

 

 green skinny pants- Old navy

blue/ white floral shirt- Audies boutique, old

cream cardigan- express, last season

brown wedges- old

 

here's to making Pintest more than a timesuck!
