Five on Friday

This shower curtain!

So, we’re in the middle of a mini bathroom reno.  The kids’ bathroom/guest bathroom has desperately needed a new vanity for a year or two now.  Apparently the sleek, lack of countertop or storage vanity that Jon and I picked out pre kids just isn’t cutting it these days.  After much thought, lots of scrolling through various websites and many messages to girlfriends I finally settled upon a vanity and it arrived yesterday!  More to come on that next week.

While I hold you in suspense let me share with all of you this beauty.  I found an amazing picture on IG and later on Pinterest of this shower curtain in a beautiful bathroom and it struck my eye.  I just HAD to find out where it was from.  I’m usually a monochrome type of gal, but I can slowly feel myself gravitating toward color, flowers and patterns.  So, after much research I found it here on Anthropologie.  Now, I must say, it was a massive splurge, but just bear with me and know that it’s one of those things that I know will last forever…like a nice purse or a pair of Hunter Boots…it’ll serve its purpose well and in the prettiest of ways.  🙂

Both Henry and Eliza are loving the new Fancy Nancy cartoon series on Disney Junior.

Soooooooo, I don’t know if I’ve been living under a rock or something but I just discovered these Nancy Clancy chapter books over on Amazon.  It has some mixed reviews, but I’m willing to try them out.  I’ll let you know how they go and if you’ve already read these, I’d love to hear your opinion!

My school pick up line outfit.

Oooooh the benefits of not having to leave my vehicle.

You guys, it’s been too hot of a September for me to put on real pants.  However, that also means that the air conditioning is cranked while I wait for the kiddos to be dismissed, which also means cold toes and cold forearms; hence the socks and cardigan.  Those pants you see?  Those are my, “painting pants.”  They used to be long yoga type pants, but I cut them off years ago and now they serve as really classy Bermuda type shorts.  LOL!

Real life.  Real me.  Really….seriously…don’t open my car door…please… 😉 Ha!

These memes.

Who remembers Pogz?

You guys, I had totally forgotten about them until I stumbled upon this meme over on FB.  I can’t remember what they were used for or how to “play” with Pogz, but I certainly remember collecting them.  Good times,  good times…

This.  This right here is me.

Gah!  Am I alone with this one?  Please tell me there’s somebody out there who’s the same way!

I know my Hobby Lobby pretty well, BUT – I could walk back and forth all day.  There’s just so much to take in!

I need your help.  I’m really thinking of changing my blog name.

What do you guys think of, “Over at Marie’s?”

I feel like my current blog name is a bit, well, formal.  I want to have a little more fun over here on my itty bitty corner of the World Wide Web and I feel like a name change would inspire me to do so. 

Can we all agree though that THE best blog name would probably be PrincessConsuelaBananaHammock.com?  LOL!  Aaaaaand let’s see who gets that one!  Anyway, I’d love to hear your thoughts on, Over at Marie’s.  I feel like it’s…well, me…

Thanks for reading guys!

Marie 🙂
