Pantry Makeover

Since we moved into our house in February, our pantry has been an unorganized mess with no real rhyme or reason. I finally got motivated and did a complete over-haul.

Back to School

Yesterday was The Boy's first day of 2nd grade!


Such a big kid.

He found his buddies and they picked up right where they left off, as if summer had never even happened. He also could've cared less if I was there...HA! 

And today was heart-jerker...our Sweet Pea started Kindergarten!


She was all smiles this morning as we were headed out the door, but as we got to school she started clutching my hand a little tighter and became really quiet.

I'm praying for her sweet heart today and anxiously awaiting the arrival of the bus.

Mug Swap Treasures

This year, I participated in Cuppa Kim's Mug Swap. Kim hosts this event for the anniversary of her blog and I think it is brilliant! You can read about it here and here, but it's basically like secret santa with mugs.

I hit the JACKPOT, because Melissa sent me the most awesome mug care package! She went way above and beyond my expectations!

Here is the cute mug I received...


LOVE it! And it is the perfect size for a mug cake...SCORE!

She also sent some adorable tea towels, assorted coffees, teas and cocoas. There was some chocolate too, but that was inhaled almost immediately.


Journals and pens




AND this beautiful craft apron!



WOWZERS! I felt so blessed and spoiled! Thank you Melissa!

The person I was given was Jenna. A sweet 20-something girl who loves to bake and loves vintage finds. I think we'd be real life friends if we got to meet in person. Here's the little care package I sent her way...


It included: a vintage mug, an assortment of coffee and tea, paper straws and a bookmark. I tied up the mug in fabric and some felt ball ornaments that were made in South Africa.

This was so much fun! I can't wait until next year! Thank you Kim for all the work you put into this each year!

Mug Swap!
