Random thoughts on a sunny spring Saturday morning:
1. Thank you SO MUCH for everyone who checked on my mom. She is home and up and walking and ready to take on the world and a few minor planets.
2. I taped a new episode of “What I Bought Wednesday” is up on my YouTube channel. You’ve never seen anyone so excited to talk about lightbulbs in their entire life.
You can see it here.
3. I’m hosting a shower here next weekend and I just decided I needed to completely makeover the office before next weekend.
Wish me luck.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about:
- 11 of my favorite thrift store makeovers
- this Cape Cod beach tour
- my favorite summer playlist
- 7 tips for eliminating brush marks when painting.
5. I have gotten so many questions about PB2 (powdered peanut butter) on my last post. It is AMAZING. I’ve eaten it during this weight loss journey. It has about 60 calories for 2 Tbsp as opposed to 190 for 2 Tbsp of regular peanut butter. You just add water and it tastes almost like regular peanut butter.
You can see it here.
And now?
