Killed it at Kohl's!! Betty the buffet gets styled!!

By



Well.....it's Spring forward and sunny and well.....when it's sunny I spend money! A lil bit at least. You should know that anything over $20 for me is considered a major purchase! Plus, since Betty the Buffet was free it's kinda hard to drop big coin on a freebie. So....I pinned and I pined and I looked and I wished.......finally today...I shopped!! Here is a lil of my inspiration....

Threshold™ Medium Metallic Glass Lamp Base (Includes CFL Bulb) Quick Information
This one is from target....ummm $49.99 for the base. Can I get a shade with that?

Of course, Pottery Barn has sent me the Easter, Outdoor, and the "I know you want to, go ahead and do it" catalogs in the last few weeks. This is theirs.....


Clift Glass Table Lamp Base - ClearNow, here you are talking $170 for the base and $54 for the shade. I scoured the catalog pages for CRACK cause someone must be smoking it for this kinda price. Ahhhhh, but.....look how nice they look. Grrrrr. Let me remind you....Betty the buffet was FREE! Ok, focus! Betty is bare and I need to put some Spring into things. So.....I was content to just keep looking and wishing as I popped into Kohls. Killer sale going on and Kohl's cash. (ok, so I know I am actually spending $50 to get that $10...and the $10 is bringing me back but I just love FREE money.....just don't think too hard about it!! LOL
5 washclothes for $2.50....yup. Sounds good. In the cart they go. 2 little onesies for babies that will be here soon? Yup. Throw them in. Walk down the dark back aisle just to see what might be marked down...why not. SCORE! I swear a bell should have started going off......I saw the tag.....spotted 2 after a little rearranging....read: moving crap onto the floor and standing on the "for sale" ottoman to get to the top shelf..... and then to the price checker.....oh yeah. 60% off is not enough! Original:$124. My price: $38.....woop woop! and I had a credit from Christmas and I got the Kohl's cash.................I flew outta there with them double bagged like I stole sumthang!!.......................here they are!!!
OK, OK......I like it. But it needs a little something. Time to run around the house and see what I have. Here is how she ended up for the night......

Total for the lamps with tax: $80 Minus my $40 credit....$40!!! Plus $10 to spend next week!! Shell: Free.....bought home from vacation. Books: From my library....mostly Garden focused. Doing the happy dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I am love! Kohl's killed it! Now....I need to POP with some color. Let me just hope I can muster up the nerve to spend some more cashola before we have to set our clocks again! Would love to hear what you think? Go ahead....let me know!

Cracked, Jacked Ottoman is now Newest Addition to the Family Room! Check her out!

By
Ok peeps....my neck and arm feel like they may be forever in pain but I think it was worth it! The family room ottoman is complete!!! Woop! Before I give you the deets......a lil background... I hate replacing things I already have! Oil changes and air filter replacements? HATE! New tires? HATE! It feels like such an investment for something you already have.....I know....gotta do it but I hate it! So after 7 years my beloved (and expensive) leather topped ottoman had started to peel. Yup. Nasty! I ignored this for a few months. Even pushed her into the corner for my annual Christmas Eve party. (Nobody puts baby in the corner!!!!) Then as it started to really bother me I started looking for a new table. Problem was.....I really like the one I have! Of course I find one that is out of this world fabulous! This baby here can be yours for $1600. Even if I hit the lottery I wouldn't pay $1600 for a coffee table. (OK, let's be serious....if I hit the lottery that scrumptious...

Of course Santa is real!!

By
All this talk about Santa has me fired up! Is he real? Is he white? Does it matter? Is it wrong to lie to children?........................Hold up! Wait one minute…. I have loved Santa for as long as I can remember. Late night rides in the car to wealthier neighborhoods to see them all decked out in lights…..sitting on his lap and critiquing his attire….. “his beard was not real Mom, he must be a helper.” Sending letters to the North Pole, visiting small town chatz like Smithville or Storybook land to see glassed off houses with moving puppets doing Christmas chores! I LOVE IT ALL! I had Christmas heartbreak early in life when our house was robbed and although there was still quite a showing under the tree that year, my most longed for item was missing! How could Santa make a mistake!!  “They took it in the robbery!!” my Mom shared, and with that…….the cat was out of the bag! My heart sunk for a bit….but then I marveled at the lengths my single Mother would go to add joy to ...

With all the sounds of summer, listen for silence

By
Kids laughing, old timers groovin, old school R and B steaming through the outdoor speakers.....it's the sounds of summer. Think about it, those BBQs you remember most, the menu is always the same, it's the sounds that gauge if the party is jumpin.....long after the sun has set the music still plays. For me, the sound of summer means the splish splash of the pool and the crackling of the ocean's waves. This black girl don't run..............but she sure swims!! When it comes to swimming, our motto is the more the merrier. We get it in! All summer long. Nieces and nephews and neighbors, let's go. No one is getting thrown out of this pool....this is family!! weekend pool crew, having fun! While no one gets thrown out.....there are rules to get in. Yup. Some rules. And the rules don't always go over very well. I've been accused of being bougie. (really?) Worried about insurance. (I'm not even making this up) And in many cases not taken seriously........
