Yard Update

Yard Update

I'm not sure if it's the extra hour of day light or the fantastic weather we are having this week but I've been one productive human being.  None of it really blog worthy but I definitely feel like I accomplished something!

Today I thought I'd share a quick yard update.  A yard update?  Sounds boring.  But there is a dramatic Michelle story involved so hang in there.  It is, however, long.

It's starting to look like Spring outside.  And our yard no longer looks like a zombie apocalypse.

Pondering the Powder Room

Pondering the Powder Room

What a good start to this Monday.  The sun is shining.  We're supposed to hit 50 degrees.  There's a chance we may have survived Winter!

My family was in town this weekend to celebrate my birthday.  We did our usual eating and thrifting adventures.  My brother commented that Decor and the Dog has been lame lately.  To which I replied "Your face is lame...and you're right."  He then called me lazy.  I then asked him how many DIY projects he's completed since January.  He replied that he painted a monkey.  I didn't ask further questions (mainly because I was terrified of the answer) but called it a tie.  I guess I'm becoming a normal human being that doesn't destroy their house every 2 seconds.  I'm sure it's just a phase.

Top 5: Favorite Kitchen Items

Top 5: Favorite Kitchen Items

Happy Monday!  Did everyone have a fabulous weekend?  It was freezing here but the sun was shining so we counted that as a mini-win.  Nate and I celebrated the sun by going out for pizza and sleeping a lot.  Makes sense, no?  Ike got in some sun bathing on the rug but was disappointed in the lack of walk.  Little dude doesn't understand below zero temperatures.

We don't have a lot on the project front lately but I have a weirdly strong desire to blog this week. I thought I'd start a mini-series sharing our Top 5 Favorites in various life categories.  (If the past is any indication of the future, this will be the only post of this sort that you'll see because I'll lose interest.  Michelle = attention span of gerbil.  Sorry to all offended gerbils.)

Today I'd like to share Nate and I's top 5 favorite kitchen items.  These are tried and true items that we use often.  A few of them were things that I wasn't even sure we actually needed but now I'm not sure we could live without them.  (You know, first world couldn't live without.)
