honey do list

The results are in! Yesterday, I sent out a quick poll on Twitter asking my followers to answer the following:

Now that I am on summer break, what would you like my posting schedule to look like?

You can vote here — but it looks like the majority of you say to keep the posts coming!

In the summer it’s much easier for me to take on a “life-casting” mentality with my blog since I have a lot more free time. We’ll see how this all goes!

I had to ask myself a very important question yesterday. What is a wife to do when her husband is finally at home on a Sunday afternoon? I chose what every good wife would choose  - put him to work!

It’s been a while since I gave some home updates. A few months ago we installed some new curtains by our front window. I did not want to cover up this window at all since it’s so big and lets the most amount of light inside the house. We I came up with a solution that was light and airy, but still gave the window a “finished” look.

Please excuse the lighting — mornings aren’t the best around here.

Yesterday, I had the Husband add some wall letterings and wall decor in the living room and kitchen.

When you walk into our home, you are smack dab in the middle of the living room. Upon entering, this is what you would see:

::sigh:: Pictures never do my home justice.

 
The wall pieces came in a set of four, but they are quite large and would definitely overwhelm one space of our house. So, I decided two in the kitchen would look nice! Over the buffet/hutch, we added the words “Eat Well, Laugh Often, Love Much”.

The wall art is from JC Penney’s, and the Word Art is from Wall Words.

I also have a new mailbox to hang on the exterior of the house, but the Husband didn’t have the right drill to do that yesterday. Another day (where I will most likely have more things for him to hang anyways…) I suppose.

This morning I woke up ravenous. No joke — I even woke up at 4, ate a Rawxie cookie and went back to bed until 6. I wasn’t really hungry yesterday, so I guess it’s all catching up to me now.

Sadly, breakfast was semi-disappointing. I did not want hot oats, but didn’t think about it last night when I went to bed. Hot oats it was!

 
We won’t be fighting for long — they’re just too pretty to pass up.

In the bowl:

• 1/3 cup oats
• 1 and 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp. chia seeds
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 whipped banana
• 1 tbsp. peanut flour
• cinnamon
• 1/3 cup blueberries
• sprinkle of Enjoy Life chocolate granola
• Trader Joe’s Organic Creamy peanut butter

Check back later to see what a teacher really does on her summer break.

Question: Do you have a “honey do” list? What breakfast never lets you down?
