A Weekend of Procrastinating

Hank on the farm eating watermelon

I hate it when I am not feeling well

I get nothing done

I have a list a mile long of things that need to get done

but all I want to do is lay around on the couch

and watch Fox news

or sit at the computer and find random things

below are some things I found while procrastinating

my chore list

I am loving this white house

I found this article funny and found it sort of relative

to what are government does

In case you have a thing for wire,

I found just the pinterest board for you, your welcome

May seems to be full of events,

graduations, Mother's Day, Weddings

and along with these events come gifts

I thought this was a cute idea for thank you notes

I really need these tumblers for my hutch

and if you haven't tried this on your ice cream,
you are missing out

A Simple Mother's Day

Let's see

I woke up on Mother's Day at five in the morning

with Hank and his mom

I was having my Mother up for a Mother's Day brunch

raspberry scones

caramel rolls

a mushroom quiche, a green bean quiche, and a cheese quiche

fried potatoes

my sister brought the bacon and watermelon

I cut roses and beets for the centerpieces

I secretly have my hubby grow beets

so that I can use the top for centerpieces

I love the way they look in a glass vase

by the time we sat down to eat

I wasn't hungry

I was tired

I used the pink dishes that I have been collecting

from thrift stores

lots of ooh's and aah's

when they walked in the door and saw the table

and if you are wondering if I got a little blue box for my gift

sort of

my daughter who knows me to well

gave me a big box of goodies

a rachel ashwell duvet

cute little notepads for my desk

that say,

Be.you.tiful

and

some people look for a beautiful place

and others make a place beautiful

and the cup above

we both love Pride and Prejudice

and the cup is very special

and at the bottom of the big box was a little blue bag

thank you Holly

I love you sooooo much

Look What I Found

rain or shine necklace

tea towel

pressed flower sachets

ticking stripe apron with the

homemade summer book

market bag

Please tell me

you don't do a thing on

Mother's Day

that you get treated like a queen

really,

all I want is a Tiffany bracelet or two

and I will do all the cooking

the above items are from

terrain

a few things I picked out that I wouldn't mind receiving

but if my family is reading this

Tiffany bracelet

it comes in the prettiest little blue box

and I have wanted one forever...

I really am grateful to be called a Mother

there is no other job in the world that I would rather do

I love my family ferociously

and find it an honor to be the Mother

of three

 beautiful children

I have truly been blessed

A Rustic Spanish Ranch House

Article and photos by

HouseBeautiful

I have had this beautiful ranch house

bookmarked for a while now

I am usually not into color

except for a touch here and there

but I absolutely love all the colors going on in this home

the red chair, the colorful indian rugs, the cacti

and I would love to cook in that kitchen

Happy Monday...

I survived the Vintage Market

My feet have finally recovered

and

I can't remember having that much fun in a long time

The market brought in four thousand people

and we were busy from the time it opened until it closed

I can't wait till the next one

My conversation with the guy above:

me- You look familiar are you from Buckeye

the guy-no, I live around here

me-oh, you look like a Buckeye boy

the guy-he just laughs

about ten minutes later,

an older gentleman comes running into my booth with a baseball

and asked the guy above

if he could have his autograph

duh...

now I know why he looked so familiar,

he was a pitcher for the Diamondback's,

Arizona's baseball team

me to the guy-I am so sorry, I don't follow baseball,

I love football

he couldn't stop laughing

I think I turned twenty shades of red

he bought the shelves behind us for his man cave
