Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I had a very low-key yet productive one. I finally painted some counters in my house, that have needed to be painted since I moved in (almost six months ago!). They used to be orange… like 1970′s/1980′s orange – not pretty. I had painted the walls (which were dark brown to go with the orange counters) cream when I moved in, but had neglected the counters. They are now a deep cranberry color called “Fine Wine”. I also put together some furniture that had been put on the back-burner. Soooo, I was a very tired girl by the time the night came (I was doing all of this in almost 100 degree weather with no air conditioning, mind you). Early nights and productive days… good way to spend the weekend. What did you do this weekend; anything fun? Read anything good?

Because I’m in a good mood from getting stuff done (LOVE that feeling) this week’s articles are all good or funny news – hope it starts your week off right, enjoy! xoxo

Have you seen the bear-hug yet?

Cutest animal kisses ever.

What would you do if you found this?

Oh those darn kilts.

This looks just like my mom when she was a toddler. Love this picture.

Perfect baby costume… we all want to eat them up anyway, right? Kind of love this one too for non-walkers.
