May, Mother’s Day & Mayhem (oh I mean Prom)

Our Family

May is once again on us and OMG the summer has started. I’m not going to wait for the husband to say, ” It’s going to be the 4th of July and then Summer is over 😉 !!! ” So much is going on but I’m going to stick w/ the top 3 for now…

Planning outside landscaping of our beauties new home, our 45th wedding anniversary celebration (Vegas here we come !!!) and our celebration of our family w/a family reunion probably out at our fav place the Atlantic Ocean. Definitely a song for this post 🙂

Here are some of the pics of the decorating of the new house inside. We are all done with the downstairs and I did that with my broken arm, OMG 😉 …

I know it’s not perfect, but as they say “When there is love in the home, it is a palace for sure !!! ” These pics don’t really show the finished product, but they’re pretty close. We absolutely love it…

Here our is the backyard so it definitely is a before pic b/c we haven’t even started…

And I had a perfect Mother’s Day w/the best news of all 😉 … The husband took me out to Sullivan’s for a steak dinner and it was so delicious…Have great leftover’s for today and that’s always my fav. and I got my new coffee machine. I make the greatest drinks with it. Starbuck’s eat your heart out 😉 …

I’ll close this out w/Prom (cough, cough) I call it Mayhem 😉 but I really just got to watch all the mayhem and calm the tear’s and fear’s of mom (my Lizzie and Gabriella)…Gabriella was beautiful and she has a really great guy for a boyfriend !!!

I’m not going to forget our newest little granddaughter who just celebrated her 2nd birthday, OMG where does the time go !!! I tell you she has to be one of the cutest 2 year olds ever. No she definitely is the cutest 2 year old ever!!! This is her reading the book we got her for the birthday. Grandpapa’s fav song, “Baby Sharks 😉 “…

Happy Tuesday…

I can’t believe I haven’t posted since last week. Just big blogging goal’s, I was even working on my editorial calendar (which is still a work in progress 😉 ) . It’s just gotten very busy around here all of the sudden like and I really haven’t had the time to blog. I’m busy with my spring cleaning, and I was so hoping I would have it all done by Memorial Day but that sure doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

My Spring Cleaning has really turned into a new thing. Instead of cleaning, (which I’m not that fond of anymore, been there, done that) it’s turned into Spring Buying 😉 and Spring throwing away 🙂 … Shhh let’s keep the husband out of that. Let’s just say that my Target trips are my new workout 😉 . Don’t laugh, it’s a lot of working walking and buying and carrying it to the car, unloading, yadayadayada !!! But the house is really coming together. It’s fresh and new. I’ve been taking before and after pics and I’ll try posting them when I’m all done.

My absolutely fav of all are the new shelves in the kitchen…

My new shelves <3

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to come up with this idea. I just love, love, love my kitchen. What motivated me was the spring cleaning thing and the new book I was reading this month…I have really been on a reading kick this year. I have already read 4 books this year. Which is a really great thing. The first book I read, our Connor and his wife Missy bought me this one, “Where the Crawdads Sing.”

Connor &Missy <3

Aren’t they just such an adorable couple…Love them to the moon <3 One of my favorite pics of them on their Wedding Day <3 .

Then I went on with the next 3. I’m thinking the Cookbook Club spurred me on to get the shelf thing going in my kitchen. One thing led to another and I’m back doing something I absolutely love, love, love to do…Cooking and Baking, who knew.

The daughter came over on Mother’s Day and she just had to do the same thing, so me and her dad were over at her house last weekend. Got to do another run to Target and the husband was busy assembling them at her house. She’s having the same fun I’m having b/c of course I had to get her the Instapot for her Mother’s Day gift to go on the shelves, right 😉 … Here how her shelves are progressing <3 Absolutely loving this !!!
