Gotta love allergy season!

Yesterday started off on the right foot. I made breakfast, I made my cup of coffee, I was so excited to work on my blog, and then the landscaping crew shows up....duhn duhn duhn. They start trimming the bushes, cutting the grass, and that's when the sneezing began. I spent the whole day sneezing my head off, it was horrible! Every time the landscaping crew shows up my allergies go crazy : ( So I decided to take a break from blogging and I gave Pinterest a little visit. Well, not little, more like the whole day...lol. I'm telling you, it can be very addicting. I actually had more fun looking at the crafting/DIY boards and I found some stuff that I would like to make, so I'll keep you guys posted on how that goes.

French toast with turkey bacon (yesterday's breakfast)...yummy!

I've been working on a menu for next week and so far it looks pretty good. I came up with a menu for this week and let me tell ya I was surprised with how much money we spent at the grocery store. I usually make a grocery list, but we end up spending a lot of money and not cooking everything we buy, so I decided to give this menu thing a try. If it works out, then I'm going to make this a permanent thing. So, dinner tonight will be another salad, but this time it'll have chicken strips in it.

Last, but definitely not least, I can't forget about the lovely samples I got from Birchbox the other day. I promised you guys pictures, so here they are:

I don't think I'm going to be using the self-tanning towelettes at all, I don't need a tan...LOL! As for the Juicy Couture perfume, I was never a big fan of their perfume, but this one smells really nice. I'm definitely going to give the other stuff a try.

Well, my fiance should be home from work soon and it's time to make dinner. I hope everyone's having a great evening and I'll be talking to you soon!

Birchbox!

I am liking this whole Birchbox thing, all thanks to Kate from The Small Things Blog. I just got my box this afternoon and I really like it! At first I was a little hesitant to sign up for Birchbox, but after seeing pictures of the things she would get every month I couldn't resist myself.....I signed up! This is my second month and I hope to continue getting more stuff. *pictures of what I got will be posted soon*

Today is day 2 of working on my blog, but no big changes were made. Doing a blog was something I tried to do a couple of years ago (when I was in college), but that didn't work. I was going to school and working, I just didn't have enough time to post stuff. Now don't get me wrong, I bet there are a lot of women out there, in the blog world, who are going to school, working, are moms and they find some time to post something on their blog and I am proud of you guys. I don't think I had it in me to do it, maybe it was lack of motivation or something, who knows. Now I have all the time in the world to create a blog and dedicate time to it, especially since I've been laid off from work for a while (that'll be for another post).

So for the rest of the evening I'm going to cook dinner, we're having salad with shrimp, head over to Pinterest (I LOVE that website!!!) and see what's new, and then watch some tv.

What are you guys having for dinner?
