Pink Saturday

It's been awhile since I have done a "Pink Saturday" post, but these flowers that Jacob and Daddy gave to me re-inspired me!

It looks like they are in a pink vase- but they are not! The vase is clear, but the WATER is pink. How cool is that? The flowers had a little packet of the stuff to keep them fresh longer, and it turned the water pink. Love it! It looks a little orangey-pink in the picture, but in person it's actually just pink.

I love how thoughtful the gentlemen in my family are! Jacob loves to bring me flowers, and I love knowing that he thought of me. (and of course, Rick is just the sweetest man on earth who also loves to bring me flowers ;))

With Love,

Pink Saturday

As I said last week, most of you know of my love for all things pink and pretty, and for homemaking. But those of you who REALLY know me well, no of my other great love...COFFEE. Ok, so maybe you don't have to know me that well to know that, LOL.

I have been looking for the perfect coffee cup. I am a tiny bit (slight under exaggeration, lol) particular about my cup. It had to be stainless steel (inside, not just on the outside) because I am just certain that plastic makes things taste funny (told ya I am quirky ;) ) and it HAD to be pink. I had been holding out until I found just the right one...suffering through drinking from a regular ole coffee mug...going through the occasional torture of a gnat landing in my coffee because I had left it sitting while working on something...feeling the terrible loss that comes from spilling a few drops of that precious warm brown liquid...having my coffee get cold because I was changing diapers...but, ALAS! The perfect coffee cup was found.

Pink Saturday

If you know me very well at all you know that I am a fan of pretty things, and that I am a homemaker. And you probably also know that I love when you can find homemaking tools that also happen to be pretty.

That is why I am in LOVE with Gloveables. I am a tad old-fashioned, and I like wearing gloves for tasks like dishwashing or cleaning (gotta keep my manicure pretty and my hands soft, lol) So, Gloveables are a perfect fit.

If you haven't already, you need to check out their selection.

I have always loved to write, and the only thing that could make writing even more pleasant is doing it in a pretty pink journal!

I just love having necessary items that are pretty. It just makes using them so much more pleasant. I figure if you have to sweep- why not do it with a pink broom?

New Apron and Gloveables

Some time ago I wrote about my Gloveables and pretty new apron, but never got around to posting a picture. So, at long last, here is is :).

Pink Saturday

A while back I shared my planner for Pink Saturday. Well, a few days ago I had a situation that was nearly disastrous (ok, that may be a bit extreme, but it felt like it at the time, lol). I had left my planner sitting on the breakfast room table, and a bear, who shall remain nameless ;), found the temptation to great to resist. He took my pen and scribbled all along the inside cover. Oh, I wanted to cry. I just love my planner, and I like things to be perfect, so I felt just devastated that my pretty planner was ruined. Of course, I knew that he hadn't meant to "ruin" my planner, and I really wasn't angry at him. (afterall, I did leave it on the table...). A few days went by and the situation with my planner was just really irking me. It seemed silly to replace it...but the ink would not come out of the cover...what was I to do????

Then, yesteday, inspiration struck. Perhaps this was an opportunity to pinkify (yes, in my world that is a real word, lol) my planner. So I pulled out a few sheets of pretty paper, a couple of pretty stickers, and one of my new calling cards...and voila! An even prettier planner!


Happy Pink Saturday, y'all!

Pink Saturday

With all of the things to do with getting settled in our new home, my little pink tool set has come in quite handy. I figure if you have to use tools, they might as well be pink, LOL.



Seriously though, I do love having these "functional" items in pink. It does make the every day tasks a little more enjoyable :).

Pink Saturday

Well, with nearly everything we own packed, it is a bit of a challenge coming up with something for Pink Saturday! BUT, no need to worry, lol, I can always find something pink amongst my belongings!



Pink scissors make the task of taping up boxes just a little more enjoyable. And who doesn't love a pink spray bottle for cleaning! Oh, and even the cleaning spray is pink. We found a gallon of this commercial cleaning solution for $2.50 at a local bargain store. And the greatest part is that it only takes a tiny bit to make up a bottle to use. And it works like a charm!

Pink Saturday

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE pink, so when I saw this idea, I just had to participate. But, since almost everything I own is packed, I will have to keep it simple for now.

This is my pink day planner, which I just cannot survive without. I am a little bit OCD and hyperventilate at the thought of living life without a planner or schedule or something, lol.



And, yes, that is a pink pen which I use to write in my pink planner. I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but pink is my favorite color, LOL.

Love,
