scarves {organized}

My scarves have been a mess for quite some time.  I have been using this hanging organizer that I picked up at Target a while back.  I think it is designed to hold belts....which I did have on the back side.  So all of my scarves were on one side, piled and piled on top of each other, constantly falling on the floor.  I decided it was time to revamp them.  I really liked the hanger organizer, so I took off all the belts {which I hardly wear anyways}, rolled up the three I kept and put them in a drawer.  Then I weeded out my scarves.  I got rid of about 5 I think. 

 So one side of the hanger holds more springy scarves...

While the other side has the more fall/wintery ones!  So much better!!!

How do you organize your scarves?  I have seen some people use a towel bar mounted in their closet and that seemed like a neat idea....maybe in the new house!!!

Tide PODS...

I had another opportunity presented to me by Meijer, to try the new Tide PODS.  It is a detergent, stain remover and brightener all in one POD.  All you have to do is throw it in the washer with your clothes and you are good to go.  It really is that simple.  No measuring or anything!  My clothes had a nice fresh scent after coming out of the washer.  These definitely make throwing in a load of laundry easy!

Thanks to Meijer for this opportunity!

{update}

Hey all...my poor blog is lacking some new posts. We have been BUSY with house stuff...and I am in garage sale mode. ;) I didn't even get a menu posted this week. We have been on the go and leftovers have been in play! I cooked some ham in the crockpot on Monday and we have been eating that all week!

Just a quick update on our house process...
We have windows and doors installed! Shingles are going on this week, and stone is on it's way! Inside more is happening....electrical, heating and air, and plumbing contractors are working. Things are moving right along. We are constantly making decisions and trying to think of everything we need to at the right time! ;)

We are also working on decluttering our house, getting it all set to sell. I have been busy sorting through drawers and shelves all around the house to see what to keep, sell or toss. Looking at garage sales 3 weekends in a row to clear out as much as we can! The less we have to move the better!!!

Hope to squeeze in some crafting soon!

project {life}... week 8 & 9

Week 8...
Fun times with friends, trying a new place to eat {yummy sweet potato fries!}, checking out our lot all marked and ready to break ground, home show, and both our mom's were up for a visit.

Almost everything exciting this week was on Friday...what a busy day!!!

I just love the top picture...Little Bit is standing where her room will be in our new house! Love it!

And here is week 9....
I did do an insert this week and I included my 1st mini layout! I was inspired by Jenni at The Hufford House to try added a layout in with my photo insert pages. I really like the idea of highlighting something special and/or fun!

Here is the first side. It was all about breaking ground at our lot this week!

We also closed on our construction loan, got Little Bit signed up for soccer and battled sickness.

Here is the mini layout I did. It is a highlight of Little Bit with her new foam sword! She just loves playing pirate! ;)

This is what Little Bit was doing while her dad and I were signing papers at the bank for the construction loan. It was too cute for me not to save!

Easter reads...

Here are a few Easter books we have been enjoying this week...

There was an old lady who swallowed a chick by Lucille Colandro

Happy easter, mouse! by Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond

Easter at grandma's by Emily Bolam

Splat the cat: where's the easter bunny? by Rob Scotton

Fancy nancy's elegant easter by Jane O'Connor

I printed off some Easter coloring pages for Little Bit and we also made a bunny mask!

For the mask I just cut a paper plate in half, cut out eye holes and attached some ears. Then let Little Bit color and decorate it! After she was done, she was hopping around like a cute little bunny!

Then I hid eggs around the basement for her to find. Think we did this about 4 or 5 times! She has done 3 egg hunts around town and we are off to visit family so more hunts will be in the near future! Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

giveaway extended...

Don't forget to enter the giveaway for some hair goodies! I am extending it until Monday....so you have a few more days to enter!

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend. I know we will be enjoying some time with family!

spring wreath!

I haven't had anything hanging from this shelf since I put out the spring decorations several weeks ago. I was just drawing a blank on what to hang there and didn't really want to buy anything. I've seen several wreaths with banners on them and thought they were super cute. I really wanted to make one for the front door but already had this one. So I decided to try the banner one out for here...

With some spring colored Amy Butler paper from K&Company, Martha Stewart butterfly punches and some twine....this is what I came up with!

Just love how it turned out....Little Bit does too...she is loving butterflies right now! ;)
