{Pintervention (of sorts)}

{loved this, found here.}
I'm back Why can't this be easy?... what you ask. WEIGHT LOSS.

It's seems like every time I jump on the road - I hit bumps. This last few weeks, I am not going to lie... Have been so hard. It started with a two week headache - turned into sinus infection and along with that girl problems to boot! I have a condition called PCOS. It sucks. It is the reason why Addison is our miracle baby and why she just might be it for us. Long story short my Dr. put me on a ten day course of extra hormones to restart things.. Extra hormones are such FUN! a PAIN IN THE ASS!

I want to eat everything in sight.  I won't mention the mood swings.

And the will power went out the window.

BUT

**I swear that eye of the tiger just started on the radio... I swear! ha, that is funny!**

I AM ON IT. My hubs has been by far the biggest inspiration to me. He has not eaten fast food since Christmas... he works out constantly. Swear, he even ate some asparagus last night. If you know him, you know that is HUGE. The last few weeks I have laid in bed and watched him work his butt off. This am...

He got my sorry but up - and I did my first workout, in a long time.

I am going to be killed for posting this pic... I took this on my phone to send this to his admirers.
My very hardworking, handsome, and HOTTY hubs ;)

{I LOVE his back, and that little blonde head trying to be in the pic}

In Pintervention style I need to post something I did off pinterest.

Here ya go:

  me doing a work out, I found on Pinterest,here.

I kid people I kid.

THAT is NOT ME.

June 1st. June 1st. June 1st.

I AM GOING TO DO THIS.

This was totally Pinterest inspired. However... I am taking the credit for this one. It came out of my lil old noggin. And super EASY and CUTE too boot!  I'm sure you have all see the coffee filter wreaths. 

 LOVE THEM.

I needed something non red for my door.  And something new for Valentines Day.

Like I said it was super easy.

Here are the supplies you will need.....

1. Cardboard box (or something that will give you a big enough piece of cardboard for your heart.
2. sharp knife
3. glue sticks
4. glue gun
5. marker or something else with a not to small tip... in this case, my daughter's lip gloss
6. Coffee filters (from the $ store). 

{I forgot to metion this project, cost me a total of 4 glue sticks and 1.08, for the coffee filters.}

1. cut a piece of cardboard.    Draw your desired heart shape.
2. cut out your heart shape.

3. take a coffee filter and center it on your "lipgloss".   Put a dab of glue on it and stick it to the card board & repeat until the card board is filled.   I used about 170 filters.  But it went really fast.  I was done in under an hour.   OH.... and squish the filters as you go.  

Link up your project here:



 And don't forget to pin this to your board here, if you LOVE it.

My inspiration:

which can be found here on Pinterest, or orginally here. 

**drum roll**

My lil version:

Easy peasy:  willow tree branches - taken from a tree in my neighborhood.

felt heart stickers with twine sandwiched between them.

Like I said, EASY PEASY.

And I have to admit, it looks pretty cute!

And I can use the branches for my spring display.

My inspiration: found here.

Loved, loved, loved this idea from the moment my eyes saw it.    Fortunately for me I was able to sought out a newly expecting couple and was able to create my own version of this.   

Stop pining and start doing - then share it here!

Stop pinning and start doing... lol. 

It's actually a fun way to see everyone else's interpretation of something.

I need to make it quick today!  Sooooooooo this is something I made for a work pot luck.  FRESH from pinterest.  LOVED it.   And I'm thinking my cute dish - well made it even cuter!

xoxo, bree

pintervention {take two}

My inspiration:  found here.



I loved the letters.  I am big on decorating with reds and greens and gold for the holidays.    I had pinned this a few weeks ago. This weekend I found these gems at Walmart for .97!   Love how they just give that added touch to our stockings.

{weekend recap and deep breathing}

This past weekend I was all amped up.  I BLAME PINTREST.   I wanted to organize, decorate, clean, cook... and do it in two days.

Saturday I asked Rob to bring the tree out of storage.   He did.  And there is sat in the box until Sunday.   I decided to paint.   I have been wanting to do it for awhile.   So I headed to Wally World (aka Walmart......., i know, i know but it's 2 min from my house).   I decided on the color - open sesame.    I was going to get this red wall covered and it was only going to take me 2 hours in my head, as it was now 1 pm.   I finished at 1am.   But it's done.   I LOVE it.   It is a huge change.   I love the contrast with my white shutters.   Try to see past the sparse decor, since my decorations where taken down to be replaced with Christmas.  It's almost exhausting how much pinterest projects.   I NEED and WANT to get done.    



Before:



After:

This was going on outside while we I was busy.

My "sweet" helper.  Offering all kinds of moral support.   She thought she scored when no one was watching her down her "chocolates".    Mommy was just too busy, lol.   *mother of the year*

Before:   *pictures stink, sorry*

After:  ** and so NOT decorated**

I did this last night..... I don't know.   It isn't floating my boat - stay tuned.

{Deep breaths.....}

oh ya.... and I made this.

I wanted to TRY this out - see if it was Christmas morning worthy.    It twas..... but plain old syrup I would suggest.   The icing was waaaaay to much.    You can find the recipe, here.
Again... blame Pinterest.

AFTER the holidays - I am going to attempt painting the cabinets.  I'm thinking dark and then distressing them. 
My inspiration can be found HERE.

**update**  

This made me laugh....  Raven's post.  And who would of thunk... A pintervention party.  LINK up my fellow Pinners! - so now I must join a "pintervention".
