Our Weekend

We have had a really nice weekend!

Friday night we went shopping at the market and came home with all this:

red lentils, couscous, bulgur, granola, pizza sauce, ginger, almonds, cashews, luna bars, almond butter:

Kale, Romaine, Spinach, Beets, Peppers, eggs, milk, pears, sausage, grouper, green drink:

 

coffee, wheatgrass, carrots, cucumber, shallots, cheese, kefir, apples, whole wheat pizza crust:

On Saturday, my neighbor took the kids to our neighborhood fall festival while Jason and I went on a little date. We went out to lunch then to the shooting range.

On my last shot, I hit the bulleyes!

Shooting will definitely get your heart pounding!

On Sunday we worked on our pumpkins:

Marley thought the inside was gross, but Claudia thought it was cool!

Frugal Friday

The girls had this princess vanity that wasn’t being used anymore and I almost took it to the thrift store. I had been searching thrift stores for months looking for a small table to go in my living room. Then it clicked! Just use the princess vanity:

 

I took the mirror off and gave it three coats of spray paint and ended up with this:

Total cost: $.97 (can of spray paint). So glad I didn’t donate this!

I am linking up to Frugal Friday over at the The Shabby Nest. Check it out!

Antique Store

The girls and I browsed an antique store last week for ideas and I just loved this one booth.

I really liked these prints, they were $14.95 each (I’m thinking scrapbook paper and vintage images):

Loved the black vases holding the green apples – they cost $40 a piece (without the apples) – maybe I’ll check Hobby Lobby for something similar.

Loved this cage thingy:

I liked this art work. I think that I could do something like this myself – if I could find the time!

I love window shopping, wait - no I don’t! I want to buy it all!

Tasty Tuesday - Hummus

I haven’t been to a party lately, so I’m joining in on Tasty Tuesday at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam – check it out!

This week I’m making some Easy Hummus:

You’ll need the following:

1 15oz can of Chickpeas

2 cloves of garlic (I used jarred over fresh)

Juice of 1 lemon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoon Tahini

2 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1/2 teaspoon – 1 teaspoon Cumin (not pictured)

Put all ingredients in the food processor and blend well.

Serve with Veggies of your choice.

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pickin

We went a pumpkin pickin this weekend and had some good ole family fun!

 

 

New Floors!

It has been a crazy week. We had to clear out all three bedrooms, including the closets:

We had stuff everywhere:

 

 

But it was worth it because now all the bedrooms have new floors:

My house is carpet free and I’m loving it!

Goodbye Carpet

Dear carpet:

You have lived in this house for 17 years. I have walked on you for 9.5 years. I will not miss you. You have been through a lot: potty training of both girls and a puppy, craft projects, stomach bugs, spilled drinks, mud, ect…..  Your time has come to an end. When you are taken away tomorrow, I will not cry, I will not miss you. Sorry carpet, you just weren’t cut out for our family!

Goodbye!
