Monday Shmunday

I hate Mondays, and this Monday was particularly bad. Okay, well not really, it had it's highs and lows as all Mondays do. Driving to work I heard that there were only 4 more days until the weekend, and I thought, surely I can handle the week and survive four more days. 

So, here's how my Monday was.

First, I was on time to work. I think. At least I know I was there before 8. Yay me!

This is what I wore on Monday.

I spent Sunday night perusing Pinterest, and I came across a pin of a blue and white skirt with chambray, and I had the pieces in my closet. It was a look that I would never have put together on my own. I bought the skirt from Target when I was pregnant with Addy, but I've barely worn it because I didn't know what to pair with it. 

I paired it with pops of red- necklace, earrings, and shoes.

I was this tired at work. I seriously could have, should have, probably would have fallen asleep at work.

I didn't though. Instead, I pushed through the day, and drove through Mcdonalds and got a coke.

Since I came home for lunch, I put on some blue jeans. I was freezing cold and the skirt just wasn't cutting it. I never would have paired denim on denim, but I either did it because Sheaffer told us to a few months ago, or because I was lazy.

Meggie wanted a doughnut for dinner..... Here she is while i'm trying to convince her to eat her dinner so she can have that dougnut. 

She wasn't buying it.

She didn't get the doughnut.

This is what we made for dinner and y'all it was good!

When I came home for lunch, I put dinner in the crock pot.

Chicken breasts, packet of italian dressing seasoning, 1 can cream chicken soup, block of cream cheese.

I added frozen peas when I got home, and then cooked rice to serve it on top of.

After dinner, I snuggled with Adalyn. I was jealous that she was sleeping and I was not.

I am obsessed.....

There are several things that i've become obsessed with lately. I thought I'd take some time today to share each of my new obsessions with y'all!

Friday night we made homemade pizza and had a family movie night. I'm obsessed with this pizza recipe.  My only variation is that I find that I need to add a 1/2 c. more of warm water, and that I also sprinkle in Italian seasoning into the dough while it's mixing. I use corn starch on my cookie sheet, and then roll out the dough. I will never buy store bought pizza dough again. Buh-bye Pillsbury. 

I'm also obsessed with Pinterest Told Me To. I found Sheaffer's blog a few weeks ago and I cannot wait to read it every day! First, she's gorgeous and I want her closet. Seriously. And, she's funny. I mean downright hilarious, slap your hand on your knee funny. 

Each week she recaps the Bachelor, b/c she's best friends with the Bachelor's sister, and b/c I think she's an expert on all things the Bachelor. I'm sad that this week will be her last Bachelor recap post. I'm not sure what i'll do without it. She's given me a whole new perspective on the show.

She also takes fashion finds from Pinterest and uses it as inspiration for her own outifts. And, she has amazing taste.

I've also started to follow Sean (the Bachelor's) sister blog... Her name is Shay and she's even more fabulous than her brother. She also does a weekly recap of the show and she was on the show!!! I'm pretty sure she'll be making an appearance tonight as well! I think I like reading her blog, because she's real. I always think of the Bachelor and Bachelorettes as these fantasy humans- I mean, they're gorgeous, but they're real people and Shay proves that. 

Follow her family blog here and her cooking blog here. 

Cooking intimidates me so while I check into her cooking blog, I haven't duplicated any of her recipes. She bakes a lot of sweets- girl after my own heart, and uses her crock pot tons! I kept thinking that she was this gourmet chef, and then I realized she's a busy working mom of two preschool kids and that her recipes are very do able! I can't wait to try out some!

I've been following Kelly's Korner for a while and I've participated in some of her link ups. This lady is real y'all.... real amazing. She has a love for God that is impressive and she has two adorable daughters.  Kelly lives in NW Arkansas and blogs about real life and even shares that she doesn't know why people love her, but we do. I know that God is using her in some amazing ways. 

Finally, I'm loving A Blonde Ambition blog. Leslie and I actually went to college together, and although I knew of her, I didn't actually know her, but through her blog, I feel like I do. She has impecable fashion sense and if I was in my 20s again I'd attempt to pull off her style. She lives in NW Arkansas too and shares some of her fabulous finds in the local boutiques. 

There are some work days, where I don't know how I'd survive without these blogs and their posts. I'm so glad that they're willing to share all the details of their lives that they do. There's something special about knowing that these bloggers are real people. Just like me.

Finally, I'm obsessed with Emmett's Search Dog fund, and i'm currently hosting a fundraiser on my page- so go find out all the details! Sheaffer also is giving away one of her favorite necklaces in the fundraiser!

And, in the words of Leslie.

Be blessed lovelies.
