Random thoughts on a brilliantly sunny Saturday:
1. Today is Chi-O Moms’ day. I’m not sure what we are doing, but I’ll be there with some of my Chi-O mom friends and two of the cutest little Chi-O’s. I have the CUTEST dress to wear.
I’ll try and remember to take photos.
2. My hydrangea bush is looking amazing. There are little tiny leaves on the old stems everywhere and the leaves are getting bigger and bigger.
Fingers crossed we get hydrangeas this year.
Growing hydrangeas in Texas is no joke.
3. My bracket for March Madness is DECIMATED.
Sigh.
I picked Baylor to win it all.
Maybe next year.
4. I’m almost done with the BEST book. It’s called Broken Country by Claire Leslie Hall and it’s a mystery. It starts off kind of slow—and then you CAN’T PUT IT DOWN. I thought I had it figured out, but ummmm…nope.
You can see it here.
5. It was a good week on the blog. We discussed:
- this spring table
- laundry room ideas (and the cutest door)
- Amazon spring sale finds (today is the last day)
- I never knew this would be so hard
6. I’m planning a graduation party for the twins.
Should I add a theme? Are themes even a thing anymore?
If you have a good theme idea, let me know.
And now?
