Another Monday List

1. I feel like an 80 year old woman trapped in a 26 year old woman's body...with a 6 month old fetus inside of that. What I'm trying to say is- my back hurts. Sweet Charlotte is just pushing back there and it does not feel wonderful. Whew.

2. I have a lot of recipes brewing in my head that contain popcorn, pretzels, avocado, marshmallows, black beans, orzo and m&m's...not all together. Now, if I could only find some time to play around in the kitchen!

3. Another thing I'm trying to find some time for is to deodorize our mattresses using this method! Must be part of that whole nesting thing...

4. I can't stop drinking this smoothie! I think I need an intervention.

5. Thanks to your advice- I am going to go ahead with the DIY embroidery hoops! I'm on the fabric hunt now!

Basically, what this post has made me realize is that I have lots of things I want to do and not a lot of time...thanks, guys.

Anybody want to come over to help cook/DIY/clean mattresses?

A Monday List

1. I can't express how glad I am that I got married before Pinterest was a hit. With things like this to inspire me, I would've gone DIY crazy.

2. The other day my students asked me to put on some music while they were painting their spelling words. "Baby" by Justin Bieber was up on AOL Radio and it turned into a quiet chorus of singing and painting...including the breakdown by Ludacris. I'm in love with them.

3. We are under contract on a house! Woo hoo! First time home-buyers, here. Any advice? Best place you know to buy paint? Lighting? I'll take any advice you have. 

4. When we moved from Dallas to Denver and left Yumi-Licious fro-yo behind, I took a break from the amazing treat. We reunited last week at Yogurt Land in Denver and I have a feeling it is all downhill from here. How is it so good?

5. In addition to the fro-yo reunion, I also baked these amazing chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cream cheese brownies last week. And went to the gym because of all my indulging. I should spread this out a little bit. 

Enjoy your Monday.

Now I can't stop singing Bieber,
