Monday Questionnaire March 17, 2014


Spring is so close, I can taste it. Ok, well not really, but you get the jist of it. I am ready and determined, which means we are back on track of Monday Questionnaire's. 2013 was extremely tough on me, as well as my family, and it took me a minute to get back in the swing of things, but I'm back bitches (another Pretty Little Liars quote?). So let's dig right in. 

1.) Mood:
-Unfortunately, I'm pretty grumpy today. I've been in a funk this weekend, and it carried over to today. 

2.) Do you have a subscription to any magazines?
-I don't, and I really can't recall a time that I ever did. I do purchase them every once in a while though. 

3.) Name one thing you are looking forward to in the near future.
-Spring! No jackets! I feel claustrophobic all Winter! 

4.) Current nail polish:
-Nothing. A blank canvas. Maybe painting my nails will put me in a better mood. 

5.) Do you know how to identify any constellations?
-Other then the North Star? I mean, the main ones I can, Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Orion's Belt. Anything else I'd be lost. 

6.) Do you like the idea of electronic reading (Kindle, iPad, etc.) or prefer an old-fashioned book?
-I do use my Kindle app on my phone, and it is completely for convenience. Also better to hide at my desk :) 

7.) Current outfit:
-Well, since it's St. Patricks Day, I'm wearing an army green cardigan, with a black shirt underneath, AE Straight jeans, and Target loafers. 

8.) Do you like karaoke?
-I'll watch it all night, but I can't say I'd ever participate. 

9.) What was your favorite cereal as a kid?
-Lucky Charms. That was mine and my dad's "thing" together. 

10.) Weekly goals:
-Keep on my healthy eating habits, concur my work tasks, get some much needed rest and relaxation, and as always stay positive.

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

      This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought.  We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you.  Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas.  Almo

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock.

DIY IKEA Kitchen Shelf

  It is finally complete! I have been working on decorating this bad boy for a few weeks now and I'm in love! Thanks to my dear husband we were able to turn this cheap IKEA shelving unit into an adorable farmhouse style kitchen shelf pretty easily. See below for our step by step!    This is the IKEA Mulig Shelving Unit which is $59.99 for the largest size. This measures 47 1/4x13 3/8x63 3/4 "    We purchased a 3/4" piece of plywood at Home Depot in which we got cut in store for each shelf. These measure 46 1/2" by 13"    Also at a Home Depot we purchased a tube of Loctite Power Grip and a small can of Golden Pecan stain . This stain matches a few other items in our house so they would all look cohesive.    Once home, let the staining begin.      After one coat of stain was dry we used the Loctite to place the plywood on the shelves. We used sand bags to weigh down e
