Weekend Shenanigans..

Hey y'all,

As I write this I am trying to get everything together for Monday morning after having the past week off. So sorry for the continued disappearance. This past week was crazy with house sitting, moving, a hair cut, meeting the new kitten, celebrating birthdays, unpacking, cleaning and more! So I hope you forgive me. Now onto linking up with Sami since this weekend was crazy busy!

FRIDAY. Friday morning after checking on the house/pet bunny I was watching I swung by my old apartment to do the final cleaning (my keys were due on Saturday) and I finished everything and said goodbye to my old place. It was so strange to think that I no longer lived there. It was my very first, one hundred percent me apartment and for nine months I learned a lot about myself as I transitioned to my first real job, including the fact that as one of four kids I need a roommate to balance me out. 
Saying Goodbye to My First Place
After all the cleaning it was time for tailgating for the Blake Shelton concert. My roommate's co-workers could not attend so we were able to get their lawn tickets and since I have never been to a country concert and I have loved Blake since Austin I was thrilled to go! After a run to Bojangles we spent a lovely time chatting and waiting for the doors to open. The concert was AMAZING! Jana Kramer and Easton Corbin were the opening acts but I was there for Blake and he did not disappoint. You can check out the set list here.

Yes that is Blake in a cowboy hat and a mullet.

SATURDAY. After checking on the bunny again, it was time to catch up with tPr and have lunch/our usual stop at Barnes and Nobles. After that I headed over to Bed, Bath and Beyond to pick up the kate spade new york bedding in Little Star for my room and almost left the store not finding it. A lot of the past season kate spade bedding is on clearance right now at BB&B and so when I was looking in that section it was only past collections, luckily I took a second pass and found the Little Star bedding in a Full/Queen right next to some other customers. SCORE! It is perfect and you will see it in my new room in next week's post. Then it was time for teaching Sunday School (it is my last week with some of my preschoolers who will move on to the kindergarten class next week) and going to church. A quick run to Aldi and my roommate cooking greek chicken for our second roomie dinner finished off the night.

SUNDAY. More pet sitting, then babysitting, unpacking/organizing more of my room, cooking steak for roomie dinner #3 and then babysitting again rounded out the night/weekend. 


Here is to the start of a great week! How was your weekend?

Pillow Talk.

Hey y'all,

So as I have been dreaming of my new place which I move into in less than 2 months, I have been thinking of some small purchases to finish off my bedroom including my lack of throw pillows. However, when it came time to scour the mall and Homegoods I only found pillows that were $50 a piece to match my bedset. While I loved my comforter when I first bought it, it has become a sore issue. I love that it is Carolina blue and seersucker but upon further examination it actually is a strange blue shade with a brown stripe in the middle. So instead of spending $100 on two pillows

My current bedding.
I want to stay away from creating a themed room too since this one borders on becoming nautical.
I have decided to instead look for a bed set that includes pillows and save me some hassle. Well, that is also an issue since I want something that coordinates with the sheets I already have and as much as I pin bedrooms with white bedding, I currently have all white furniture and I don't think I will paint the new place so white+white+white is not in my future. 
My current sheet collection includes plain navy and light blue along with some great Homegood finds from the past few months like:

So I am trying to stay in the blue family when I look for duvets/comforters (I am willing to add in a bit of pink as well) and hoping for a set so I don't have to spend $200 on just the duvet/comforter and shams+accent pillows. Here are some options I have found....

Martha Stewart Collection Gazebo Flowers Collection*the current favorite (it was on sale for $160 for everything:euro shams, shams, comforter, bed skirt and accent pillows two weeks ago)

I love this set but I have only been able to find the comforter not the accent pillows
