one. two. three. break!

I am officially on break from school, a 3 week break to be exact!
I have 4 quarters down and 4 quarters to go.

This is the first break since starting a year ago that I have had some good time on my hands
and I want to use that time wisely.

I have a list of things I would love to get accomplished:

• Have lots of fun with Norah
  
• get a haircut {it has been since November!}
• clean out the basement
• clean under the bed
• paint Norah's "big girl" bed and dresser
• Do some crafts with a dear friend
• find sconces for our bedroom and fireplace and hang them
• trim and clean up the landscaping
• finish a frame project I started months ago
• clean all the windows and screens
• get Norah's birthday invitations in the mail and plan the party!

I know this list is huge and I am okay with not getting it all done-
I just like having a plan!

...I will let you know on the progress...

front porch curtains

{our house}

Last fall I started dreaming about sprucing up our front porch.
So far we have taken down our shutters
{I am trying to decide to whether to paint them black or leave them down}
and we painted the rod iron around the porch black.
We also got a black roof.
But I want it to look cuter...So I started thinking about putting up some curtains!


...Below are some inspirations...

I am now trying to decide what I want them to look at and what material is "outdoor" friendly!

Have a good Sunday!
