Thank Goodness for a Wonderful Friend and Evening!

I have really had a rough week.  So I was thrilled when a friend and I made plans to get together tonight and have pizza and just chat.  We had a wonderful time--thanks Mary Beth and Taylor!-- and I'm home now, it's raining on my roof, my baby is in bed after some kind of an allergy bout with MB's cat, and I'm just feeling kind of content.  Some wine and my flannel sheets would probably make this evening perfect.  Be right back. . . . (with wine). . . .

I have become COMPLETELY addicted to Pinterest--I'm convinced that if I'm not on there a lot I will miss something I MUST know. 

Just so you know, I'm about to go all hippie on your asses for a minute.  In my never-ending quest for simplicity and organization, I've been trying to streamline my work around here, as well as cut back on chemicals used for cleaning, and I've found a lot of homemade recipes for stuff like clothes detergent (which I have made before), and dishwashing detergent (which I haven't).  Even recipes for homemade fabric softener, which I love the idea of doing.  As I try them out, I will report back.  

As I said earlier in the week, my plan for the weekend is to do as little as possible.  I will do laundry, which I enjoy, and build my planter boxes, make my planting mix, and cook, but little else.  I love to putter around my little house.  I will add pictures when I get the boxes done as I expect them to be spectacular.  Maybe a little of an overstatement.
