Just Another Day at the Office

Literally nothing to do

Loving Lately

1. My new Lilly Planner.

I had a May book and used it for less than a month before I had enough. I am super picky about my planners and the spacing and lines and all of that. The Lilly planner is so much better than May books.


2. Kidtown

I love children's ministry. I love building relationships with kids and their parents. I love my volunteers. Sunday's run effortlessly hugely due to my awesome volunteers. We had an open house recently and it was such a great night.

3. My DVR

I have become a grandma and cannot stay up late enough to watch some of my favorite TV shows. So glad to be able to record and then fast forward through the commercials :)

4. Neighborhood walks with Cecelia

I love my neighborhood. I have a love/hate relationship with the hills. Love the workout they give, hate walking up them. Cecelia gives me just the motivation I need to make our walks successful.

5. Baseball Season!

I adore baseball season. I love being at Carolina Stadium. I love the road to Omaha, it sometimes gets bumpy, but that's the fun of it.

Powder Room

Two posts back to back and with a house update?!? I know, foreign to the blog, but I want to get better about this.

I am in love with the fact there is a half bath downstairs. I always think it is so awkward when you have to go into a bathroom with personals in it. I much prefer a simple bathroom for guests when I go to someones home.

I wanted to pull the navy in from the kitchen and living room, but wanted to add a new color, so I chose yellow.

 
 
Sweet Valentine's Day present from my mom. She has a new monogram machine and is monogramming up a storm. She guessed on the color and it was a perfect match!

 
These are some of my favorite pictures from our trips down to Mexico. All I did was modge podge scrapbook paper onto a canvas and then modge podge the picture onto the paper.
 
 
My parents had a extra mirror that was in their half bath they brought to me instead of the huge piece of mirror the builders put up.

Laundry

I first started this blog when I bought my house to show off my house and how I decorated it. I epically failed at that for the most part. Well actually, I can't make a decision to save my life so things are finally all coming together.

Today you get to see the laundry room. When I rented, the house came with a washer and dryer. This house did not. My sweet parents gave me their washer and dryer and got a new one. I think they got the better end of the deal. ;)

 
To continue my love for chevron, I got a chevron curtain (from Esty, of course) to hide everything that typically goes in a laundry room.


This cute piece was in my parents kitchen but they gifted it to me when I moved in. It's great to throw stuff in that we need easier access to.


I searched and searched on Pinterest for something cute to decorate the laundry room with and saw these cute decorated letters. (It's just scrapbook paper modge podged on-super simple)
 

 
And to continue to love of chevron, curtains tied up with bows (which need some adjusting, add that to the to-do list :) )
 
 
Having a decorated laundry room helps make doing laundry just a tad more enjoyable ;)

Library Care Package

I was just on a care package roll a few weeks ago. One of my best friends is still in school for Social Work and it keeps her busy, especially in the library. I remember those late nights up studying and hanging out in the library. I decided to put together a sweet care package for her late nights in the library.





What's inside?

- A variety of snacks- sweet, sour, salty
- Favorite drink
- Fun pens and pencils to get work done
- Note pad to remember things to do

Then you find a super cute bag like this one from Target and add the goodies and hand to a super stressed friend.
