Random Tuesday

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday, I just really felt the need to sleep in until 5, some days you just need it ☺
Today’s post is going to be random, I just have so many unrelated things to share.
Let’s start with Twilight Sparkle.

She’s getting big y’all and is turning into more of a kid every day.  She’s ‘reading’ {memorizing words} and ‘writing’ {tracing letters}, dressing herself {usually in the same 2 outfits}, and all around growing up. It’s makin’ me just a tad sad, but it sure is nice to have her be so much more independent. Plus she's totally a Momma's girl now and Oliver's not happy about it.

I worked on some projects this weekend!! I can’t tell you how much I MISS working on this kind of stuff now that I’m working full time.
Up first is my vintage light fixture that my Mom bought me for my birthday.  I wanted to hang it above my kitchen sink, but I had a recessed can light and I wasn’t sure how to switch it to a hanging fixture. I went to Home Depot and bought their ‘conversion’ kit, not a winner.  I decided to check out Lowes and they had the Can Converter, I had read about it online but didn’t order one so I’m was happy to find it in the store. The directions were crap {even Oliver couldn’t understand them} BUT they had a video online and it was very clear and easy to understand!! I had a few hiccups only because my light was from the 40's {I think} and was missing a few key pieces which I just pulled off another chandy I had laying around. I absolutely love it! The light is so soft and better than the bright overhead light in the kitchen! The Edison bulbs you can buy online or get through Home Depot.

I have plans to over-haul the playroom, it just not organized enough and it drives me batty. I knew Twilight Sprakle needed a bigger table for all her ponies so instead of buying one brand new I found a cheap coffee table on Craigslist {$30} and painted the bottom a lemon yellow and the top is chalkboard for her to draw on. Super easy to do and it’s a perfect size for her, regular tables are too large and her ‘toddler’ table is too small, maybe I should rename her Goldilocks ☺ I ordered some stools off amazon, hopefully they work.

I picked out some colors for the room, but nothing is final yet. This will have to be half nursery if I ever get knocked up so I need to keep that in mind. It’s hard for me to pull back from the pink ☺

Pretty Muddy is almost here! Vanessa from Ruffles with Love has made us a team shirt, so if you are running with us please order yours soon; she has a special rate going just for y’all.  If you haven’t registered, but want to, I believe there are still slots open. We are the noon time slot and our team name is Dirty Divas. This run is for EVERYONE, we are sticking together and out to have fun so even if you haven’t trained you are more than welcome to come and join us!!

I really need to learn to do a pull up, Oliver is FOREVER challenging me to do them and I have to cheat every time.  How did you learn to do one?  JUST ONE that’s all I need! I can’t be having my husband beat me!

Here are my outfits for 3 straight days in a row, honestly boots and scarves to sandals and tanks?? I can’t decided what to keep in my closet, I’m afraid to pack away anything for fear of it snowing next week. My closet just isn’t big enough for summer and winter at the same time, unless of course I ‘clean’ out Oliver’s side, right now he's getting a 1/3, I'm pretty sure he could go down to 1/4. He rotates the same 5 outfits weekly and works from home 4 days a week.

Don't forget tomorrow is Workout Wednesday, come link you up your sweaty accomplishments, new moves, or goals for the week.
