Random thoughts on a Saturday morning with unlimited potential:

1. We are starting to plan out the flower beds for spring planting. I’m so excited. We are adding new curved beds around the fence in the backyard. The birdhouse will be so happy.

2. There’s a new episode of “What I Bought Wednesday” live on my YouTube channel. It features what I got for Valentine’s Day. You will NEVER guess what showed up here on February 14.

You can see it here.

3. If you are looking for leggings? I GOT YOU. These are the BEST. They have pockets and they hold in your tummy and Buddy’s hair doesn’t stick to them. all the important things in life.

You can see them here.

4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about all my favorite organizing products and how I use them in the home and the cutest spring mantels and how to paint a plywood subfloor and where our love story all began.

5.  I was so sad that football is over now and then I realized that basketball is just around the corner. I love March Madness. Who are you rooting for?

And now?

Let’s see all the fun finds I discovered for us this week.

    What a great week you have given us! I am looking forward to spring and the faux florals they now have make living spring a bit earlier so nice. A tip...don't buy peony bulbs from online sellers. What I found cost me some money and now I have peony's in the color I didn't plan for. You see, those bulbs/tubers can take up to 3 years to bloom so you won't know you received the wrong ones for years later...and again I said 3 years to bloom! Who wants to wait that long? They did try to give me a reimbursement but ..3 years! I will buy from the local nursery where they have grown already for a couple years and I see the actual color. Have a wonderful birthday weekend!:0)

    Hi KariAnne, I know football the rules -the signs- I could be a referee. Not a great fan of basketball- my spouse is a bb-nut. He tells me about skill, nuances, teamwork etc. I ask him do you know the rules? He was confused, I told him the rules: “Dribble-Dribble-Dribble-FOUL- Everyone line up —they do this over and over till someone yells-You Win!!” He was annoyed. As we watched the game it happened two times in a row which I thought was hysterical—then I made my exit with a big smile—- I am so excited spring is around the corner too planning your garden sounds great.
