Cool Coverups

Spring Break means sunshine and sunshine means adorable coverups! I just love this time of year. Vacations and seeing the Sun... We are out of town this week with a ton of friends enjoying Spring Break. We are in SunRiver, Oregon and are soaking up the sun. I haven't laughed so hard in awhile. The kids have a bunch of friends and have been riding their bikes, going to the village, eating and playing games. We are really enjoying ourselves. Hope you all are enjoying your Spring Break!

Wildtree

A week ago, I was invited to a Wildtree Food Prep party. What is this you say? It's almost like an in home Tupperware Party except you don't leave with Plastic containers you leave with ten (10) fresh prepacked meals marinated in sauce and or seasonings. Once I RSVP'd yes, I received an email from the Rep. I was to pay $79 and then I would receive a shopping list with all the fresh ingredients, every recipe and all the spices/sauces needed to create these yummy recipes. The host also chooses which Freezer Meal Workshop she wants to host. Mine ended up being "One Stock Crock." A one pot dinner I could put in the crock pot. I am loving this … [Read more...]

Blue Ocean Floor

  Clackamas dazzled the audience! State Season is officially over. (Tear) Clackamas ended up third (3rd) in State. This diffidently was one of the best nights ever in history of the OSAA Dance & Drill competitions. Clackamas who is the team to beat for many years, was the underdog coming into this competition. Know one knew the ending of our story and even the judges were unclear of what to expect! Looking back, maybe that wasn't the way to get to State? But none the less what happened next was History in the making. Friday night was qualifying round and Clackamas came onto the floor with pose and grace. They … [Read more...]

Season Opener

Last night was Evan's very first High School baseball game. The weather was beautiful and nothing made me more proud than watching how hard he was playing. He batted four (4) times and got on base every time... Hitting three (3) times and walking once. Evan played first base the first three (3) innings and pitched the next four (4). Ugh! My nerves... Clackamas had a few errors and quickly learned by some mistakes. The other team played real tough. Watch this video below of the winning run... Can you guess who was on third base?  OOps! I couldn't add my video... view here- OPENER WINNING RUN! Way to go CAVS! Staying tough until … [Read more...]

DIY Flower Lattice Stand

I'm excited to share with you a project I've been working on over the last week. I found this adorable piece of Lattice at Home Depot and decided to make my own Flower Stand. First, I bought a can of this Rust-Oleum Black spray and sprayed down my wood lattice until completely covered. Once dried, I added my favorite colored flowers as well as succulence. I attached the pots with wire to my Lattice. Whaalaaa! Adorable DYI Flower Stand for the front porch. I just love it because it gives my Front Porch some height I felt it needed. I've already received a ton of compliments. I couldn't be more happy about how it turned out! I'm also loving the … [Read more...]
