Slice of Life : The I miss my Mom edition

I think Slice of Life is going to become a weekly ritual for me, It’s a good way to give a little snippet and trick myself in to the fact that I’m not writing a WHOLE POST!

So, to Jumpstart the week with my bloggy goodness... A slice of life...

Outside my window... The busy city is in it's daily bustle ... traffic jams... and a little sunshine (this will frequently be the same – as I normally post during break time at work.)

I am thinking... That I’m kind of in the mood for spring cleaning, Lord please help my husband.

I am thankful for... My Mom, who keeps me smiling all day via text.

From the kitchen... awaits some leftover lamb cubes with a pita and some ketchup! Eric rocked a boneless lamb leg last night; he’s becoming such a wonderful cook!

I am wearing... brown work slacks, and a white shirt with teal circles all over it with my teal heels… Teal is my new favorite color for some reason.

I am going... to Vegas in 30 days!!!!!

I am hoping... that I have energy to endure working out this evening.

I am hearing... my own typing… it’s actually kind of quiet here today.

Around the house... Glad that the dog and cat aren’t getting along I was starting to think our house was too quiet. (insert sarcastic grin here)

I am Wondering... How this weekend could have been any more fantastic - I ♥ ECCC.
A few plans for the rest of the week: An appointment with the oral surgeon on Tuesday, Call Committee Meeting on Wednesday and Sr. High bus lock-in for the weekend!

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
How wonderful is having a Mother?

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
