dreamy/practical



It's raining!  A cozy weekend with rain* is rare around here, especially these last few years.  There is rain right now and we are so grateful.   Thinking about for this weekend--

Dreamy
:: be cozy by the fire
:: drink coffee with half and half
:: go to a Saturday night movie with Ken
:: watch the Oscars!  My mom is having us over for a little "Oscar Party"!  I haven't watched the Oscars in years, and this year I've seen quite a few of the nominated movies, so it will be extra fun.  Can't wait!

Practical
:: do some key cleaning tasks I've been putting off.  It will feel good!
:: de-clutter.  I always feel like a million dollars after getting rid of stuff.
:: laundry--always!
:: the meal planning and grocery shopping are done for the week.  We have ingredients for cucumber-yogurt chicken, Summer's mustard-maple chicken (we're making this for the second time), and a simple beans and rice dish.

*with all the rain, I'm tempted to bake, but I'm also dieting!  Not sure if I should.  I'll try to resist.  Baking but not eating is not a reasonable option in my opinion!

I always feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders after a good de-clutter. Enjoy the oscars party!

Hi Mary Beth,

It's been quite a while since I've stopped by your blog but it is looking wonderful as always. Your pictures always make me feel so calm - and itching for spring as it has been a doozy of a winter here in Virginia. I will be stopping by more often for some inspiration - the boys look so healthy and beautiful.

Love,

Amy {from the old Gift of Green}
