Happenings around the Abode

Hello Gals!

So today I'm being a lazy potato at home I've had a pretty long weekend. 

Friday night it was one of our best friends thirtieth birthday parties. Where has the time gone? I feel so old sometimes knowing that so many of my friends are thirty or above. Crazy.

We had tons of fun. Maybe too much fun?! I needed a day to rest from work on Saturday, so I played hooky. It was much needed! The kids were with my mom and by the time I got out of work they were in the pool.. YES, you read that correctly. The pool. It was over 90 degrees on Saturday. Disgusting really.

 Thankfully today we're back in the 60s. Pretty glad about that. I can go outside and not have my face melted off. Look at these super cute kitties lounging about the house. I got too close to willow above and she couldn't keep her eyes open with the flash. Ha! I gave her a second chance to show those sparkly green eyes of hers.

 I was pretty productive around the house on Sunday. I cleaned up the Hurricane like destruction all around the house and put up some new blinds, with the help of the boy of course. I also spoiled myself a bit and bought some succulents and cacti. Aren't they cute?!

 I had so many empty containers sitting around my house. They've been begging for some cute little plants. I really do hope these don't die though because I have been called the plant killer.. Bob even hummed the Funeral March as we loaded them up into the car. What a punk! They will survive!

My absolute favorite! I thought this one belong sticking out of my "crystal" skull :)

How was your weekend? Anything exciting? Any tips on how to keep these plants alive?

With all my LOVE,

Pati

Clean as a whistle

Hi gals! 

So the picture above describes exactly what I was doing yesterday. This house was a crazy mess and it was time to get it sparkling again.

I really feel like I'm in some sort of zoo sometimes with all the animals and people living here.

I know this post isn't the lively-est (It's a new word) ever but sometimes you just need those posts that show I'm a real living person sometimes. Mommy life gets tough sometimes.

I'm just glad yesterday I got so much stuff done.

I was also wondering if anyone uses natural products for their house? I'm so lazy and I just buy store bottled stuff but I know I need to get into the habit of making my own. 

All these toxins present everywhere really do scare me.

I've tried using vinegar before for things but it's so strong smelling that to me it's a bit off putting.

Maybe something you mix it with?

Anyway that's all for today. Just short and sweet.

I'll be back tomorrow with an outfit post.

With all my love,

Pati
