Summer Nights

I beginning to absolutely love summer!!!  I know toward the end of July I'll start getting the back to school itch, but for now, it's all things summer!

This past weekend (yesterday actually) we sent Ashlynn to the sitter and had a night for just the 2 of us.  We are really trying to be careful about our spending because we have a trip coming up in August so we kept things very simple!!! We decided to hit up The Oasis.  It's a nice restaurant situated on Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie.  It's a good place to go if you are itching for fresh seafood and great drinks at a reasonable price. There was even live music.  It was great!

The weather was nice and there was even a breeze!! We sometimes take Ashlynn there because she likes to feed the fish. 

 I absolutely love time with my husband.  I think it's one of  the best ways to keep your marriage strong and healthy.  It's such a different experience when there isn't a kid to look after.  I really enjoyed our time together.

Here's to more fun filled summer nights!

Summer Project #1: The Pantry

So, it's finally summer and I feel like I can breathe!!!!   There are so many little projects s that I've been wanting to do around the house and I feel like I can actually tackle them!  My first major project was to reorganize our kitchen pantry. This task was actually given to me by my husband, LOL.  It wasn't a mess, but it was close!!!

I love the Dollar Tree!!!  It's one of my favorite places for quick and cheap finds!  I got all of these containers for a buck each! There are a few more blue containers on the other side of the pantry. I will definitely be going back to get more for other areas of the house.

This took longer than I thought!  I was confidently thinking I could knock that project out in about 30 minutes! NOPE!  More like an hour and a half!  Deciding how to organize it took the most time!!!

I'm excited I actually got a project done!!! On to the next one!
