62-75 of Project 365...Whew!

62/365: Rainbow Basset. Love my job!

63/365: Yum.

64/365: Finally brought my new (old) bike home. Come on warm weather!!

65/365: Took an evening walk on the Big Four Bridge. Definitely excited to do this again and again. 

65/365: Warm weather = The Flea Off Market, cats in the windows, and one pooped pup.

66/365: My nanny kiddos got a new cereal...and I can eat it! :)

67/365: A sweet moment with all of my babies asleep together.

68/365: Straight hair and a newish hat.

69/365: Tacos with homemade spanish rice. (Not so) fun fact: I ate tacos 3 days in a row this week. Kind of over it (even though they were delicious).

70/365: "Rainbow Hair" (according to my kiddos). :)

71/365: Today I bought a mixer! What a sweet find from our favorite, Tickled Pink! (Yes, I've been cleaning the heck out of it to prevent any gluten issues.)

72/365: Charlie always sits on the kitchen mat when he comes in from the backyard. This was not something we taught him. He's so smart. Trying to make this "trick" work to our advantage. :)

73/365: It's almost beer making time in the Shaw house.

74/365: Spring is coming!! Arnold Palmers on the front porch and flowers in my yard. I'm a happy girl.

75/365: Making some fun changes around the house. :)

Have you ever done a 365 photo project before? I'm finding it quite difficult to keep up. My inspiration has actually taken a break from it herself. Of course, she has other blogging stuff that she's working on constantly. So, I guess it's understandable. :) Wondering though if I wanna call it quits on this or not. I enjoy sharing bits from my daily life, but I find myself pushing back other posts I want to make and then not posting at all. Decisions, decisions.  

Bogged Down

Yikes! My bloggin' has definitely been placed on the back burner lately with all of this homework I've had to do. Sorry guys. To all 4 of you. And, if there are more of you reading, I would gladly apologize to you too if you'd click that little follow button down there. No? That's cool. Just thought I'd mention it.

Anyway, things have been a little hectic lately as this was a big assignment week with my classes and I also put in more hours at work than usual. So, that in turn meant less blogging. Boo. Not a fan. I'll try to be better.

21/365: Monday, I spent some time with my kiddos talking about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They're pretty young, so the concept was hard to grasp. However, they did tell me that he was a nice man who helped people. Mission = accomplished. Then we spent some time making rainbows out of pegs. Their idea completely. I thought it was somewhat fitting. 
22/365: Adam sent me some "emo" pics of our pets. I could not stop laughing. Love my fur babies!

23/365: Made a delicious salad this night. You can find the recipe in here. And, if you don't buy the book, at least buy this dressing. It is my fave! YUM!

24/365: Today was lots and lots of studying. These cuties kept me company while I read and reviewed articles on the origins of Applied Behavior Analysis.

25/365: To treat myself for all of my studying, I headed over to Tickled Pink and purchased some new (old) canisters for our kitchen. I am absolutely in love with them (shhh -- so is Adam)! The best part, though, was when I texted my mom to show her my find, she replied that she owned the very same canisters many years ago! :)

26/365: Saturday, I woke up with a cough and a sore throat. So, I had ice cream for breakfast. It helped temporarily. 

Any other recommendations for cough/cold/runny nose? I'm loading up on vitamin c and washing/sanitizing my hands frequently. Hoping this bug goes away soon!

New Finds

13/365: This Sunday, Adam and I went to one of our favorite places in Lou. I discovered it by accident one day while perusing Facebook. It's called Tickled Pink Memorabilia Mall, and it is awesome. We have found so many great things for our home while browsing their shelves and rough room. From small trinkets for our guest room to retro cabinets for our living room, they have it all.

But, Sunday I was on the hunt for an adorable blender they had posted online. It had been posted for a few days, so I knew that chances were slim that I would still find it there. And, sure enough, it had sold earlier in the day. But, there was still plenty to see, so Adam and walked around the three floors they have to offer.

While in the basement, I stumbled across a cute, turquoise-colored box full of sewing supplies. I just happened to have received a sewing machine for Christmas this year and have yet to use it as I don't have any sewing materials (and it needs a minor repair). For 5 bucks I couldn't pass it up. Adam agreed it was a good deal and a nice treat for me. So, shortly after we left with my new (old) sewing kit in tow.  And, I am in love! Now my sewing machine won't be so lonely.

 It came packed full of fun sewing supplies that I can't wait to use. :)

 Of course, the animals couldn't resist my new purchases either. Especially Gatsby. He just had to have a closer look.

 So, I couldn't leave out the rest of my babies. They get very moody about that sort of thing.

14/365: As for today, I had a relaxing day off and spent what little time I could with my handsome hubby (Mondays are hockey night).

Love this man. So, so much.
