Favorite Friday: Pinterest Top 5



I really do love colored pants. I have two that I wear all the time that I got from T.J. Maxx. I think I need to add some pink pants to my collection, and maybe a leopard print shirt too :) 


How great would this be for a laundry room? It looks so much better than having a bunch of those cheap plastic baskets sitting everywhere in the floor (like our laundry room looks like now). Maybe we need to add these to our laundry room when we get around to remodeling it. 


Now let's be honest, wouldn't you instantly feel happy walking into a classroom and seeing all those bright colors?!? I know I would! I love everything about this welcome center! From the colors to the organizations, it is perfect!


I am obsessed with this printable on Etsy. It is gorgeous! It would look so good hanging up as part of a gallery wall somewhere. Now, I need to decide where to hang this in my house! 


We have so much wasted space in our pantry, and I think this would be a great addition. They would be easy to have anywhere in your kitchen honestly, in a large cabinet would work. I like that I wouldn't have to leave my bag of potatoes on my pantry floor with those drawers!


What did you find on Pinterest this week? I'd love to know!!

Favorite Friday: Pinterest Top 5


Y'all it's been way to long since I've done a Pinterest Top 5 post! We all know I have been on Pinterest! According to my husband, I might have a problem!

Here is what I found this week:


We all know I love my Disney stuff. Yes, I am a kid at heart.
Please don't tell me I am the only one so excited about Finding Dory coming out this month?!?



This Etsy shop has the cutest rugs! It was hard to pick a favorite, but I just couldn't get over this one once I saw it. 



Now, these might look a little unnecessary to some of you but let me tell you I NEED these! Sammy is a Goldendoodle, so he is very fluffy especially his feet. If the grass is even just a little bit wet when he goes out, he comes back inside with what looks like wet mops on his feet. I have a keep a towel handy to dry his feet off, and sometimes if it is really bad I have to use the hair dryer. These would make my life so much easier!

Nike. Anything and everything Nike. Need I say more?

I am always in this constant battle with myself wanting to cut my hair short, and then wanting to grow it out long. I honestly don't know what to my hair whenever it is long. I feel like it is just so much hair and I end up just throwing it in a ponytail. Short hair always looks fixed and put together, even when it might not really be. I am loving this cut! 

BONUS FIND!

How adorable is this patio? Isn't is just dreamy? I would love to sit out there with a good book and a cup of coffee! 


Make sure you follow me on Pinterest where I am constantly finding new things.

TDT: T H I N K - D E C O R A T I N G - T H U R S D A Y

Welcome to my first TDT post. TDT stand for Think Decorating Thursday. On Thursdays I will share decoration ideas I am currently implementing in our home, or some that I am obsessing over from Pinterest. 

Today I am going to focus on office spaces. In our house we have an extra bedroom that is currently being used as a junk collector. 

Seriously. It's bad. 

We don't have usable attic space, so that room has been where literally EVERYTHING has gone. It's so embarrassing. We keep the door closed on that room all the time.  



See! I told you it was awful! The rest of our house does not look like this a promise! Also, it's a bad quality picture (phone camera) but I really don't care. The mess is so bad and it's not worthy of a good quality picture!! 

We have been working hard to clean out the junk we've been hold on to, but honestly no longer need. The local thrift store has gotten to know us very well to say the least.

If you follow me on Pinterest you have seen I have been getting ideas for our new space. We plan on using the room as an office and a craft room. The room isn't huge, so we are going to have to be creative to make the space functional but not cluttered. We have clutter now, I don't want us to have clutter again. 

Here's what I am loving so far:

Total Slacker


Well as usual I make some grand promise to blog regularly about a certain topic and I fail. Let me tell you, the end of the school year stuff totally kicked my butt. I felt like I kept running in circles trying to get stuff done, but still not getting it all done! It was very exhausting.

So, about working out.

I have continued to workout with the 21 Day Fix. I did slack a little the last two weeks of school, but I am back on track now!

After Round 1 of the 21 Day Fix

So far, as of right now (in my last week of Round 2) I have lost 15 pounds and over 12 total inches! I truly believe in this program and I am loving my results! I have a lot of people give me grief about trying to lose weight though. 

No, I don't think I am fat.

Do I think I am as fit as everyone else thought I was?

No.

I would get so out of breath just walking up the stairs at school, or sometimes just walking to the mailbox.

I am blessed with an awesome metabolism, so that is the only reason my body never gained a whole lot of weight. 

I weighed 148 though before I started this program, and that is the most I have ever weighed. 

I hated it. 

My clothes were to tight.

I looked like I was in the early stages of pregnancy in a few of my favorite tops.

I was miserable, and decided something had to be done. 



My main goal with working out was to become more tone. If I lost weight along the way, great! But the goal is to become tone and fit, not skinny and thin. 

I love food to much for that!



I am about to start my third round of the 21 Day Fix. My goals for this round are to stay motivated and complete the workouts every single day. I don't want to skip like I did this past round.

Another goal I have is to follow the strict nutrition plan better, and not eat out as much. We probably eat out every single night. Now, I do make healthier choices when we do, but I enjoy cooking. I would love to get back in the kitchen and learn how to cook some healthy meals. 


I don't want to promise to much as usual, but I do plan on posting more. I can't keep slacking on everything like I have been doing lately. I have to do better!
