Last week Jen commented how the point of this meme is to literally write 7 different things that have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with each other yet many of us that link-up have this need to create a theme or to have the takes connect in some way. After thinking about it I just started laughing at myself. There are many weeks I do a theme because it’s just easier for me to prepare/write ahead of time and other times I just write a bunch of random stuff. I think my organized half my brain is like they must go together but then my unorganized part says who cares. It was interesting food for thought and made me glad I wasn’t the only one making themes.
I’m really looking forward to doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING this weekend. As of right now I don’t have any plans this weekend. I really need to get a handle on the mess that is my closet. We’ll see how far I get…
We have about a month before our Family Reunion Vacation. My Mom’s friend will also be joining us and she is super excited to be traveling with “normal” people who don’t have a dress code. It should be fun. I’m hoping to work on my new website a bunch during the day when it’s way too hot to do anything else.
Have you made any Pinterest projects? I FINALLY made my own version of this awesome MEAL PLAN board!! My sister actually helped me create it and even though she says the paper I chose for my background is too “busy” I think it came out super cute!!

I know they are pathetic most days.
I think the board came out really cute! The paper is really appropriate with little kitchen shapes on it.

Thanks! That is what I told her! My sister is no fun somedays
So awesome that you made a menu board! I like how you left part as a white board. We made those pretzels last weekend and loved them! My latest Pinterest inspired project was a door wreath.

Awesome! I love these copy-cat recipes. In the pinterest menu board she used a 9x13ish frame that I’m assuming she had left over from something and wasn’t using it. I had one of those bulletin boards that was half board and half white board that I really wasn’t using so I used that instead!
I think that meal plan board is a great idea! I really like your version, since it has the white board you can write on on the other side. We have a small white board on our fridge. We keep a list of all our canned goods on it, so we know what we have before we go rummaging for it (because we need to store them all cramped and piled up in a space that’s not big enough).

I think the background is busy, too, but if you like it, that’s your thing. Your cats are so cute! I can’t let my Lucy-cat do that, but she has been sneaking onto the guest bed the past few days.

Thanks! Yeah my mom left her drawer open when she went to bed or to work the other day and Milo (the orange cat) jumped from his food table into the drawer.
I like that menu board! I think it’s cool that the background is kitchen-themed. The last project I finished from Pinterest would probably be hmmm….well, I definitely have an unfinished alphabet project that I need to give some serious time and attention to! Those pretzels and Dole whips look delicious. Can’t wait to hear how they turn out!

Thanks! I’ve been trying to be better about finishing pinterest projects.
I love that board! Right now I am using a planner from Pocket Full of Posies, and I love it ๐ btw, I totally thought I was following your blog, but I guess I wasn’t. Well, now I am!
