An Award from Mandy's Yellow Corner!

-
I love love love this blog! I know I've blogged about her cute creations before (I won a necklace of hers on one of her giveaways! Which, by the way, she has a giveaway going on right now, so head over there!)

This week she passed three awards on to me! :)


The day she passed them to me, she was tagged with 8 questions, which are perfect for answering 7 random facts....so....I'm going to answer those too (because coming up with random facts about yourself is mind-boggling! hahaha!...and I like the questions. :) )

1. Would you rather live in a big home or a tiny cottage?
Considering I live in a relatively tiny space now, I want to say "big home" but at the same time, I've always wanted a cute little place...so as long as I have a place for all my future kids to sleep, a kitchen, and an office with enough space for all my sewing/crafting stuff...I'll be happy. :)

2. Your favorite season and why?
mmm....Fall.  Not too hot, not too cold.  I live in Alabama, so summer and winter are pretty extreme.  Spring is pretty much summer with another name around here.  But in the fall, I can ride my bike around campus without sweating up a storm, and I can walk to class without having to bundle up in clothes that keep me protected from the cold and wind (that make you sweat while you're walking to class....)

3. Disney or Vegas?
Disney Disney Disney.  I'm a princess..... :)  When Beauty and the Beast came out, I would purposely try to keep a strand of hair our of my ponytail so I'd look more like Belle. And last year for my birthday, Adam gave me at least one Disney movie a month for a year...he usually wound up giving me two or three unless it was a new movie that cost more.  I was pretty proud of him because he started shopping on eBay and Amazon for them! :) :)

4. Your favorite hobby?
Sewing...painting...cooking....crafting....photography....designing stuff on the computer...
((One of these things is not-that-much-like the other... haha))

5. Favorite family activity?
Speaking of Fall....I love it when me and Adam go walking around campus when it's perfect weather outside. It usually involves walking to Five Guys or somewhere else to eat....and now we have two frozen yogurt places downtown...so they will probably be added to the walking trips. :)

6. Dream Job?
Stay at home mom. :) With a clothing shop...and a coffee shop connected to the clothing shop that one of my best friends Catherine could manage because she's a coffe coniseur.  I try to be, but she's better.  And a gym in the back so people could come to me for personal training.  So basically, if I could be mom+seamstress+drink coffee+personal trainer all in one. :) mmm...and French tutor.  Overambitious??

7. When did you last laugh so hard that you cried?
I don't remember specifically, but I'm quite sure it involved Adam saying or doing something to absolutely crack me up.  I'm pretty sure his goal in life is to make me laugh!

8. What do you do to relax?
Prop up on our super comfy couch and drink some coffee or orange juice...and read a magazine or read the blogs I follow (better than magazines usually!!)


And now who should I pass these awards to?? I follow a kajillion blogs and I love reading them all (even if I don't get to every day).  Here are some that I read often, but I haven't passed an award onto yet. :)


If you want to pass it on, go for it! I just wanted all of you to be recognized and I wanted to send some people over to your blogs!! :)

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
