I am OBSESSED with roasting veggies. Luckily my obsession meshes well with the fresh produce season AND my low carb diet.

Ive tried to grow a few things in the past but failed miserably. I decided to instead make great friends with those that CAN grow things!!!

Exhibit A:


Dont I have great friends?!?!? Since I am the only one in the house that eats tomatoes, I knew I needed to pinterest different ways to use my them. Of course.....roasting!! I cut up tomatoes, purple onions, and a few banana peppers. Season heavily with garlic, pepper, sea salt, natures own, and basil.


425 for about 20 mins


Well. Once again, they didnt even make it to my plate!!! I literally leaned over the cookie sheet with my fork and bird doged them like nobody's business!!

Target Clearance

Its that time again!!! Time to stalk the target toy aisle, the semi annual sale is approaching! What! What!

With kids in tow (and feeling like super woman) I embarked on a 2 hr target stroll to gather my research. Step one in my game plan. Here is was I found...

























































































I saw zero boy toys. Whats the deal with that?

Outside stuff is 50% off. Im really hoping to score some 70 but sometimes it never hits :(













Meanwhile this was happening.....

Painted Lamp Shade

I was politely reminded today that I have not blogged in a while. It was just just the encouragement I needed to get back down to business!!!

I was lucky enough to have the day off today so I filled it with errands and small projects. One being painting lamp shades to match my decor. I purchased 2 lamps with with lamp shades off of facebook for just $40. I recently saw the lamp shades alone at target for $25 each. Which means I scored!!!

Here are the lamps without the shade


The clear did not work against my granted so I replaced the bases.

I really liked the design of the shades and actually the color, but the yellow just did not work in my room.

Sooooo....enter my favorite annie sloan paint in old white!!!


Here is the before and after!!






Isnt it great?!?!?

Here is the difference between 1 and 2 coats. It took about 45 mins for one shade.


I was super happy with this project. It actually turned out the way it looked in my head!!

Im So Professional

Headed to New Orleans to present at a conference!! What! What!
