Updating the Living Room on a Budget
Being a stay at home mom, I find myself at home a lot (it is in the title right?!) meaning that I spend a lot of time thinking about how I can redo/reorganize the house. So instead of making us go into debt and changing up my entire house–I have decided to share my computer window shopping to this blog (as it may make me have less an urge to purchase everything!!). New Couch: The IKEA Extorp sectional is a bargain and steal of a deal from what I have researched. Additionally, many people rave about how it is a solid piece of furniture and can stand the test of…

Thinking Out Loud: Fourth Of July Edition
Good morning and Happy Friday, I mean Thursday! Waking up today I thought that it was Friday and rolled the herby kirby to the front of the house thinking it was trash day–whoopsies! But it totally feels like a Friday…right?! Today I am linking up with running with spoons for thinking out loud. This is my first thinking out loud link up–so bare or bear with me 🙂 Thoughts for the day: 1. Lists I am such a list person. Whenever we go on trips, I make tons of lists: a grocery list, an ingredient list, a clothes list, a packing items list, a cooler list, etc…the lists literally go on…

Shopping Style and Tuesday Night In
So I need some help–for some reason or another I have been lacking some serious motivation to run/workout! I had two great runs this weekend with Drew and since then I have lost the urge to workout/run/eat healthy. I put in two miles yesterday with Scout thinking that I was going to do another 6 in the evening–but that definitely did not happen. I guess I am just in a small rut (I know it has only been a couple days, but I usually feel the urge to workout rather than working out feeling like a chore!). Maybe its the heat?! I don’t know, but it is certainly frustrating! When…

New Running Clothes and Sun Room Complete
I absolutely love online shopping, because I have a tendency to forget what I purchase and then a package shows up at the door–and it is basically like a mini Christmas/Birthday. What did people do before online shopping?! I remember as a kid looking through LandsEnd/L.L.Bean catalogs with my mom and marking what I wanted–and then she would call the various numbers in to place an order. I’m guessing that people still order things that way, but online purchasing is the way to go in my book! Last week, I talked about the sale that Athleta was having and I took advantage of the extra 20 percent off and bought…

Things to Buy at Costco
Yesterday, I braved the summer crowd and went to Costco. I try to avoid Costco on the weekends at all costs and definitely avoid it on Sundays after church (people love some free samples). I had to pick up a boston butt (which is really a pork shoulder–why it is called a butt is unknown to me) and of course found numerous other finds. Costco is fairly close to my house which makes it convenient to purchase items that I know we will eat/use daily. My top things to buy at Costco: Coffee: Charleston Coffee Roasters is my favorite coffee and Costco carries it! The coffee is smooth and not…
