Entirely too productive.... and I LOVE it!

I am out of work as of last Monday and it is insane how productive I am when I am not working a full time job. Here is a peak of a few things I've done over the last couple of days. And trust me there is much more to come, my list for this week is growing by the minute!


  • I cleaned out my entire closet and organized it (by color). I went through every piece of clothing and shoes in there and made 3 piles- one to go in the basement for next winter, one to go in our garage sale this spring, and one to go into other closets in the house (jackets and hoodies). Lovely!



  • I cleaned out the fridge and freezer and threw away the food that is freezer burned. Then, I made a list of meals I can make out of the food we have left.
  • I stocked our kitchen pantry completely full from the food storage in the basement
  • Michael and I cleaned out the front room. It had quickly become our junk room which isn't the best since it's the first thing you see when you walk into our house!
  • I made this cute craft for St. Patty's day. I found it on a blog and thought it was fun and since I don't have a single decoration for this holiday I thought I'd give it a try.


    • I also made these cute frames to go into my craft/sewing room. I've changed it up a bit from my original plan (I know, sooooo not like me!). Originally I was going to do black/white/lime green. Now, I'm doing just a bunch of bright colors, and I thought these would kind of be my inspiration. LOVE how they turned out.

    • I completed this project and boy am I glad it's done. IT WAS A PAIN! Love how it turned out, hated every second of doing it. (More on this later!)

    • I made this cute menu board that has been on my list of things to do for months! Super cute! (More on this later!)

    • The norm: laundry, swept, mopped, dusted, grocery shopped...
    • Had auntie em and uncle benji over for dinner last night and tried out a couple of new recipes on them. It all turned out super good! On the menu: Cilantro Lime grilled chicken/cilantro lime rice (LOVED THIS!)/Black Beans/Lime Margaritas/ Nothing Bundt Cake copy. Yummo!
    • Fixed our windowsill. Little miss has decided her favorite thing is to climb on the windowsill to look outside and she ends up scraping the drywall constantly. So, our solution was to fix the plaster, new coat of paint and we put a piece of molding into the sill that would keep her from ruining the wall. It was super easy and looks a million times better. We'll see how this works.

    And my big project for this week has to do with these babies...I'm excited and hoping they work out!!
