Computerless

Yep, no computer. How am I posting this you ask? On my ipad2. I LOVE my little tax return present, but it's not so great for blogging. It probably took me about 5 minutes to type this much! And in addition to slow typing I can't upload pictures from my camera either. And everyone knows no pictures=boring post. :)

Josh has been in Canada, Vancouver to be exact, for the last 5 days. He's at some doctor conference presenting research he's been working on. Hence the reason I have no computer. He needed it so he could study for boards while he is gone. They are coming up in a few short weeks. He needs to get a good score so he can get the residency he wants. So it's kinda a big deal. Also him being at this conference presenting research will be SO good for his "resume" for getting residency too. So even though it stinks he is gone, we are glad for this opportunity.

Oh, I just got a text from him, he's back in the US! Yay! He comes home tonight late. Finally. Well, I'm going to go. This much took forever! Next post will be less boring, I promise. :)

Easter... wait a sec... yep you read that right, EASTER

So I'm only like 4 weeks late.  

Big deal.  

I can't believe I forgot to blog about our Easter outfits!!!

So I'm doing it now.

My handsome guys on Sunday morning.  Look at that matching!

I'd never matched Josh and Gray before and let me tell you, it was so fun!  The pink shirts were a last minute decision, but I just LURVE how they look in them.

We tried to get a picture of us all at church, but Gray wouldn't look.  See?

Yep, I'm matching too.  Just not quite as well.  But it was still pretty good.

I'd found this tutorial {sorry I don't remember where anymore} of how to make matching father/son ties from 2 normal ties.  Basically you take one of the ties, tie it, cut it, and sew some elastic on for the little one.  Then they have matching ties and you only had to make 1!  Plus I found them on clearance at JC Penny for $4.98 each.  Um, what a steal!

So here is our second attempt at a family picture after church.

Much better!

How handsome are my boys?!

Oh and I made my skirt and necklace too.  The skirt tutorial is here and was surprisingly easy.  I just made the necklace with leftover fabric from the skirt.

Grayson loves to grabs leaves.

Do you love matching too?

Baking Mayhem

So I've concluded the only way to get out of my blogging funk {read about here} is to just blog anyways!  I'm just full of great ideas, I tell you what people. :)

So I was looking through all my pictures for some blogging inspiration and decided on this-

organizing my baking cabinet

Pretty messy and unorganized, oh yeah!

So I got some pretty canisters from Walmart and used the vinyl I won from a giveaway awhile back to do this.  I used the bigger ones for the ingredients I use more often.  And also so I could see them in the back of the cabinet.

 I just love how the vinyl stands out once the canisters are full!

I know, I need to buy more salt.

Now that I own my very own Silhouettte, I could of made these myself.  But I don't have black vinyl yet and they were free, so a good day in my book!

I put the big ones in back...

 
Then I put the others in front.  But it was too squished.  I could barely fit them in there, let alone get one out. 

So Salt went up top.  And here is how it ended up-

And for the all important and my favorite, before and after-

{I should have taken them both vertical or both horizontal... oh well}

Have you done any organizing lately?  Or used vinyl to spice something up?

Organizing makes me happy.
