Thoughts for Thursday

Happy Thursday!  One more day to get through and the weekend will be here!  I am ready for a couple of days off to spend with my family.  It's been a crazy week at work, and I think I'm mentally exhausted.  I'm ready to sleep past 4:30 in the morning and stay in my pj's for a few hours in the morning =)

Today I am linking up with Annie and Natalie =)


Have you ever started a project, and that project snowballed into 500 other projects?  That was me the other night.  We had a "junk" cupboard if you will in our kitchen.  It's been progressively getting worse and I knew I really needed to clean it out.  But it wasn't until I opened it the other evening and something fell out, and then I agreed that I needed to clean it out.  I really should have taken before pictures, Ha!  Anyway, our junk cupboard is now home to our coffee and coffee mugs =)





I have quite a few more mugs, but I'm trying to do away with some.  So for now, the cupboard is all nice and organized =)

That cupboard then took me to my cookbook cupboard.  Oh my ladies, it was horrible!  I had recipe cards that had fallen out (or maybe I had just thrown them in there) and cookbooks that were all just thrown in.  Now I can easily find what I am looking for!


I really wish this cupboard was a tad bit bigger so I could fit my sugar and flour in there.  But alas, just the flour fit.

After that cupboard, I worked on another.  And can I mention that this was all done after 8pm at night?!?!  I'm not so sure what got into me! ha!


So much better!  And I couldn't believe the amount of stuff I threw out.  It's much more organized now and I love it! 
It feels so good to get more organized for sure!

Have a great Thursday, and I'll be back here tomorrow for Friday Favorites!

Pinspiration Wednesday

Happy Wednesday, Friends!  We're just that much closer to Friday =)  Today I am linking up with Erica, Justine and Leigh for their series, Pinspiration Wednesday =)


Today we are chatting about our favorite Spring/Easter decor or Easter recipes.  I'll be honest, I don't decorate for Easter at all.  I'm not sure why, but I never have.  But I have lots of Easter stuff pinned on Pinterest!  You can find all of my pins by clicking on my Pinterest button on my side bar.

I love a nice wreath on my front door!  I have yet to actually make one, but I think that these ones could totally be done!




I LOVE LOVE LOVE Forsythia!  It screams spring to me =)

Spring table top decor can be simple yet beautiful.  And I love these from Pinterest.




And for a Spring/Easter treat, I thought these would be perfect!!

These would be good for a classroom treat as well =) 

So there you have some of my favorite Spring "Pins"

Tuesday Talk

Well Happy Tuesday!  We had some crazy beautiful weather here yesterday and it was amazing!  Emma was so funny, when she got out of school yesterday she got into the car and said "It smells like Florida outside!"  haha, I laughed =)  

Yesterday my parents came down for a bit and we went to lunch with them at our local pizza place.  Alyx colored a picture while we waited for our lunch and then the waitress came over and took Alyx and let her hang her picture up on the wall.


She was too cute!  And pretty proud that her picture was now hanging on the wall =)

I made a homemade lasagna last night, which was so so good, but it always makes a TON!  So I told Emma after dinner we would bring dinner to our neighbor.  She is the sweetest lady ever, and both of my girls just love her.


Emma painted her a picture too, I love how it says "Coolest", this lady is in her late 70's so i'm sure she LOVED this!  

I will have to share my lasagna recipe soon because it's really good, and so easy!


Horrible picture, I know!

I hope Tuesday is a good one for you!  Linking up with the ladies of Tuesday Talk =)

Weekend Recap

Good Morning!  And HAPPY Monday! =)  It is suppose to be a beautiful day here today, and it just so happens that I am off from work today, so that makes today even better!  
We had an exciting weekend, so let's recap!

Friday evening Emma had her basketball banquet.  It was a really good time, and the girls received trophies for their undefeated regular basketball season.  


They were all excited to get awards!  The coaches also put together a slide show of photos and videos from the entire season and put it to music.  It was sooo good, and I may have teared up a bit watching it ;)

Saturday the girls were off to their tournament!  Brian and I both had to work so we weren't able to get to all of her games.  Brian did manage to get to her last one on Saturday evening.  They won all their games on Saturday and Sunday they went into the Semi-Final game, and won that, and then they played for the Championship.  They ended up winning the Championship 25-15!!


I'm thankful for all the moms that texted me pictures since I couldn't be there!!!





I am beyond words excited for this group of girls.  They are just an amazing group.  They all get along SO well, and have fun with each other.  I pray that they are always this close!!  

Meanwhile, Alyx always has fun at the games.  And then I find these pictures on Facebook later in the evening.


My nieces friends, and Emma's friends always take off with Alyx and take pictures and have fun.  She loves these girls! =)

So yes, our weekend was completely basketball filled but now I think the season is officially over.  I'm sad because they've had such a great time, but also i'm ready for a bit of a break and some relaxing evenings now before Softball starts! haha  
I hope you all had a great weekend!!!

Linking up today with Biana and Meghan today =)
