Spring Cleaning!

This morning we woke up and everybody was finally feeling great, so I decided it was time to get out of the house! I had been wanting to go to the Dollar Tree for awhile, so that quickly became our destination! With the promise of McDonald's afterwards, the boys acted great! I could hardly believe they were my kids! hehe!! 

I had been seeing all these fabulous organizational Pinterest posts, blogs, and videos using Dollar Tree bins and baskets, so I racked up! Of course I am going to share some pics of my progress, so here goes!!

I probably need to purge some of these items, that I haven't used since we got married, but this works for now!!

Absolutely love these baskets with the little holes (they are stack-able and I used them in the big cabinet re-do earlier this year -post here). I am using one in this cabinet to house my Yankee Candle/Wallflower plug-ins and refills!

Here, I am using them for our extra Keurig K-cups and my dishwasher tabs!

Love these little rectangle ones for my spices!
This size is also perfect for baby silverware and my chip clips!!
These larger ones really keep the smaller things (spice packets, muffin mix, tuna pouches) organized in my pantry/cabinet!

These are soo great for keeping the fridge organized!

They have the perfect handle!
Our snack drawer was in desperate need of organization! Turned out so good! #popcornlove

These are in my bathroom cabinets...I use them to store my holiday/seasonal dish towels!

Love these little baskets for our junk drawer...it's still kind of a mess, but soo much better than it was! :)

My two best boys enjoying their well deserved McDonald's!!

Mr. Blue Eyes!

Hooray for nuggets!

S'mores Kit!

We had another fire last night, and I thought I would snap some pics of the s'mores kit I put together! It's so perfect to just grab, head outside, and enjoy..and when we are done, just throw it all back in! 



Marshmallows, graham crackers, Hershey bars, Reese's bars, chocolate covered graham cookies, wipes, and our roasting sticks!

I did lots of research, and finally settled on these roasting sticks (Amazon link) I wanted them to telescope, so they would fit in the basket and be easy to store! They work great!

Then my little Marshmallow Bandit wrecked my photoshoot! haha!

Oh, hi! :)

This kid lives for marshmallows!!

ready to roast!!

loving it!

This is one with the Reese's bar!! Soo yummy! A must try, yall :)

Chasing Cows!

The other day some of our cows got out and The Farmer, his Daddy, and the neighbors were chasing them on four wheelers to get them back in their pen...we watched from the windows (I contemplated trying to help, but after a few seconds, decided that dragging along an 11 month old and trying to hold back a three year old probably wouldn't have been much help!!) Merritt has been re-enacting the scene ever since! Pretty cute!

This and That!

Planting has begun, which of course means lots of watching from the windows for McCoy, lots of riding in the tractor for Merritt, lots of work for The Farmer, and lots of pulling hair out for Mommy! Hehe!! It's an exciting time, but stressful nonetheless!





 Hollywood was in the paper again! So proud of my farmer! :)



Our church "ARC Angles" had gotten a present for McCoy when he was sick, so The Farmer's Momma brought it over, along with a prize for Merritt! Thanks Angels and Grandma! Both were a huge hit!




For some reason Merritt calls ketchup, "stage coach." It is pretty funny! We tried to get it on video but then mid-recording he started saying it right!






My silly boys!! Merritt woke up this morning holding his hands together saying he had a baby bird and we needed to take it to the doctor, which of course was in the bathtub! ha!
