Ta Da!

I'm sure you all were just dying in suspense wondering what we went as for Halloween this year (in my most sarcastic tone)...  Hope you all had as fun (and maybe not as crazy weird) of a Halloween as we did!

We got home a little later than expected from our Halloween weekend so this week's Blog Du Jour will be postponed until tomorrow...  please be sure to check back tomorrow! :)

How was your Halloween???

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays!  Partially because I credit this holiday with me and my now-husband finally getting together but also because of the theatricality and having a chance to dress up as someone else for the night.  My friends and I tend to get really into Halloween, i.e. the troll costumes below, yes this was actually a troll posse of four.  A few years the hubs and I have not had similarly themed costumes and those years are a little weird (not sure what I was thinking with the fire fighter) so this year we've decided to be within the same genre.  Always much more fun!  Stay tuned to see what we are this year!

p.s. thank you to all of my new followers and faithful followers for your comments!  you all are amazing!!!

I Want Big Buns...

and I cannot lie.  Sorry for the corny puns.  That song is special to me though because really and truly, the is the song my hubby and I first danced to at our wedding (maybe one day I will share the link to the video).  Yes, we are that couple.  Anyways, not to get off track, after watching 90210 on Monday, I've been obsessed with high buns and I'm thinking this would be just what my Halloween costume needs.  I have really heavy hair though so this might be a bit of a tough job.  Any suggestions or how-to's greatly appreciated!

Mission Organization

I've never really been the most organized person.  I always know where everything is but visually, it might not be quite there.  A few of our kitchen cabinets were becoming insanely cluttered so we decided it was time for damage control.  This past week, my in-laws were visiting so I asked the Queen of Organization, my mother-in-law, for help.   She whip any drawer, cabinet, or closet into shape in under a minute.  She sizes it up and heads right to her favorite place... the Container Store.  Wow that place is mesmerizing.  It makes you want to organize anything and everything and in a beautiful way. 

Here's the finished product... and yes, this picture has made me realize how boring my baking dishes are... I need some color!!!

It's amazing what a difference a few shelves and lid holders make.  What you need:

1.  Double Cabinet Shelves
2.  Cabinet Shelves
3.  Under Shelf Placemat Holder
4.  Lid Organizer
5.  Stacking Bins

My favorite was definitely the under shelf placemat holder, perfect for all of our cutting boards!

Also, just had to share Teddy's Halloween costume--I promise I only made him wear it for the pictures!  :)
