Pinterest Craft & Target Finds

I had all these intentions of making LOTS of crafts and projects from Pinterest over the summer.... Yeah. Hasn't happened. {However, I will say I have tried several yummy recipes from there!} I am just too busy being poolside and stuff :) Today I finally made something that will *hopefully* make my life easier and more organized!

Inspiration:

Don't you just LOVE it? And I especially love the chevron background!! I don't really have a place to put something this big, so I decided I would make a smaller version for my fridge. I chose to do a to-do list, a menu, and a cleaning list. I bought some cheap dollar store frames, and magnets and scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby {I got a 50 pack of magnets, regularly $6.99 for like $4 with a 40% off coupon!} This whole project cost less than 10 bucks! Just use a dry erase marker, and voila!

The other day I went to Target hoping the dollar aisle would be full of teacher stuff. No such luck yet. BUT all of their blue dot stuff was 70% off, so I got a few things for 30 cents each!

Not much, but I can always use stamp pads! And I plan on using the organizers to hold different sets of flash cards. I cannot believe our kiddos come back in about 5 weeks... Meaning summer is almost over for me :( SLOW DOWN, SUMMER!!

Hope your week is off to a great start!!

Thank you all for the well wishes on our anniversary! Mr. Hubby and I spent a couple hours at our favorite steakhouse. DELICIOUS! I am pretty sure we both gained about 10 pounds with all the food we ate :) I am so excited because this is the first year where I feel like I did an awesome job at picking him out a gift {he is SO hard to shop for, especially on an anniversary!!} I got him a Nike Fuel Band.

 This thing is tight! I think I will probably end up getting one for myself.... But I was just thrilled that I actually surprised him and got him something he's really been wanting-score! Mr. Hubby and I are going to Boston this summer, so for my gift he booked us reservations for a wine tour in the North End, Boston's Italian district. I am beyond excited!! All in all it was a great anniversary :)

I am off to the gym now to try and work off some of what I gained last night at dinner ;) Have a great weekend!

Anniversary Giveaway!

Happy four year anniversary, Mr. Hubby :)
