Have You Decorated Yet? I Have!

So, I am just feeling the need to brag a little.  I think I am the first person to already have Christmas decorations up.....anyone else? Didn't think so. Well, to be honest, I don't have a tree yet.  I think we will wait until at least November to purchase the tree, but I thought if I keep up the decorations decorate for Christmas now, I will be ahead of the gang and not get heart palpitations the day after Thanksgiving when everyone declares on Facebook that they already have the house decorated, Christmas cards sent out, and presents bought and wrapped! So there.  I am ready and proud.  One more thing to check off my list (actually two if you count putting away the decorations-shhh).

What else is on my list you ask? Well, I am trying to go from room to room de-cluttering and re-organizing.  Now that I have said that on here, I am now accountable to you! So far, I have gone through a HUGE basket of papers in the kitchen, as well as the back-up basket because the first one was so full.  I now have only 5 papers in the basket and they are supposed to be there! For most people this might not take that much time, but I am one of those people that has a hard time getting rid of things...I think it might come in handy later. I am sure most of the stuff I will never use again, but lucky for me I did keep some of my favorite clothing items from Ella and Greta that Fia can now use even though I thought we were only going to adopt a boy.  I also saved some of my professional suits and now the jackets are in style again...OH OH, and probably my best save are my high school cowboy boots that made a certain cute lady pretty popular last year at the auction(and it wasn't me)! My suspenders haven't come back in style yet, but when they do, I am ready. 

Are you a saver or a pitcher? What do you still have that you are glad you didn't throw out? Or, what did you get rid of that you wish you wouldn't have?  And don't worry, I won't be on Hoarders anytime soon!\

Okay, I got distracted in this post.  I just wanted to let you know that if you come to my house and see Christmas decorations up, don't pity me.  Don't think, wow, she can't keep up with her house, she has alot of kids, or she needs help.  Don't judge me.  Just be impressed with me.  Be impressed that I am so ingenious and that I have already decorated for Christmas!

Bring on the White Linen Pants!

Yea!!! It's Memorial Day weekend! This marks the beginning of summer in my book, even though it officially starts next month. So bring on the sunshine, friends and family,baseball, lazy days, late nights, camping, barbecuing, biking, sprinklering(my new word), mojitos and white linen pants! Now...if I would just get me a pair of those gladiator sandles that I refused to buy last summer I will be good to go.

Oh, and if anyone else is looking for some gladiator sandals, I just saw some really cute Jeffery Campbell ones that they sell at my friend Megan's store, Hot Mama. Check it out!

Oh *squared*: if you check out the Founders Blog @ Hot Mama/Shop Mama and scroll down to February, you will see a little highlight on Fia and Kwame coming home. Just saw this recently and thought it was fun.

Oh *tripled* : have a great weekend! Stay safe and have fun!
