Summer Time Old Navy Favorites

Although it should be warm, humid and sunny in south Texas we are currently being drenched in rain for the millionth time. The last few weeks have been full of rain showers and thunder storms. Every once in a while the rain will disappear for the afternoon leaving a very muggy and humid afternoon behind. Other days, the rain makes a lovely afternoon appearance and gets heavier into the evening.

With that said, it is mid-May and summer is top of mind when I'm not dreaming of being home cuddled up on the couch with a cup of coffee (read....Starbucks mocha!) :)

Here are a few items that I cannot wait to add to my rotation from Old Navy.

1. Hat
2. Sleeveless tank
3. Chiffon Tank
4. Cami Fit & Flare
5. Heeled Sandals

Cooler Weather

It appears that I got my wish for cooler temps in Texas. Even in Houston, it has been fall-like temps thanks to the rain and a nice chill in the air. I am gearing up for a shopping trip and have several items in mind. Most of the things in mind are for work since that I is were I spend the majority of my time. My office gets very, very cold in the "winter" months to the point that I am in need of a blanket. I have a sweater that is permanently attached to my chair if I am not wearing it :) I am also looking at adding a nice warm scent to my office thanks to either a Glade or similar plug-in. I have discovered that the traditional fall/warm scents have changed a bit since last year and I am having a hard time deciding which I will get. Another item I will be adding to my office is a shrug or shawl of some variety for the times/days that I am not in sweater mode. And of course, plenty of Starbucks Via Instant Mochas and some random cooki...

Popsicle Recipe

Happy Friday - the 13th - everyone!! Here's to a great Friday and a great weekend for all of us :) We have a low key weekend planned for ourselves - haircut, pool time and a run for this momma. I'm sure the hubby and I will get to the gym as well and get in at least one workout over the weekend. Then we have our littlest ones birthday on Monday. She'll be FIVE?!!! How did that even happen? Anyway, one thing we are hoping to get planned this weekend is making our own popsicles because we all have a little sweet tooth. If you want to make your own here's a quick little recipe below. If you need the Hydate - you can find it here .

Finished Chalkboard

So I am delayed in getting this posted but the chalkboard was a huge success and the kids were thrilled! They have played on it a lot and have even invited their friends over to color on the chalkboard with them. So after I applied the layers of chalkboard paint and let them dry, I took a piece of chalk and laid it on its side and "colored" the chalkboard with it. You are doing this according to the directions to help prime the surface for use. After you color it and let it chill, you then take a damp rag and wipe it off. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, it is! I was nervous about it not working because I may have some how missed a step along the way...I even googled the directions just in case!! I also added a really cute and perfectly, imperfect burlap boarder to the chalkboard. I had initially planned out creating a wood boarder for it and painting it to match the colors from the playroom pillows but ultimately decided against it...
