Is it just me or can you hardly believe it’s August 1st?! I mean, wasn’t the 4th of July like yesterday? This summer just flew by way too fast!
As per usual, there are lots of random things on my mind today…………….hooray for random Friday! 😉
1. One of the things I get emails about pretty frequently is this two tiered stand in my kitchen mail center.
It’s a serving piece I bought through Southern Living at Home when it was Willow House, and anyhow, as you can see I use it to organize my mailing supplies. Lots of people have asked where I purchased this piece, and I’ve always felt bad that I didn’t have a great recommendation since Southern Living’s home collection no longer exists. Recently while perusing World Market online, I came across this piece that is really similar…….in fact, I think I like it better!
This kind of serving piece can really be used for so much from entertaining and decorating to organizing; and at such a great price I would totally snag this one while it’s available!
2. The leopard kicks I mentioned a couple of weeks ago arrived in the mail this week making my girl and I super happy! It’s kind of nice to have small feet sometimes……..kids’ shoes are way cheaper!
3. We are totally in back to school preparation mode over here. We purchased all of our supplies this past week, and I’ve been busy getting things organized around here. Last year I shared some tips that have helped us to make the transition from summer break back to a regular school routine a lot smoother. These 5 organization tips have honestly made the school routine a lot less hectic!
4. I LOVE my Keurig machine……I mean like, LOVE LOVE it! Dealing with k-cups……I don’t love. How stinking cute is this thing?! I mean, leave it to Pottery Barn, to make k-cup storage look chic. But, I’ll have to add this to my Christmas list and then hope it goes on sale because $89 is a bit much for me……I could get another Keurig machine for that price!
I mean, but how cute is it? It’s a toy for k-cups……me likey!
5. Last but not least I’d be a bad girlfriend if I didn’t remind you that you only have 3 more days to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Personally, I think this peacoat is by far the best deal of the whole sale! Obviously I’m partial to red, but it comes in other colors too……and I just may have to snag a white one as well………hey, it gets REALLY cold here in Kentucky…….multiple coats are required right?!
Happy Weekend friends! I’ll be back next week with some actual house projects! I know right……like it’s about time. I keep trying to remind myself that projects will be there when summer is over……..but my kids will be back in class. I’ve purposely slowed down, put things on hold, let the laundry pile up……..and just enjoyed having my children home with me this summer………….and when they head back to school in a few weeks I’m going to miss them and I’m going to cherish the little moments we shared over these last two months.

I can't believe in just two short weeks my kids will be back in school! I hate how fast this summer blew by and to top it all off my oldest boy is turning 12 this month! When did that happen?! Can I just stop the clock for a little bit?
