Happy Easter!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!!! The Mr has been busy this week getting ready for the Easter services at church. I think the kiddos and I will go tonight to celebrate the risen King! On a lesser topic have you all ever bought calla lily's? My go to tulips were out so I grabbed these instead. They make the whole house smell amazing. May be a new fave.

 

He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen.

4 Things {world market}

 

I kind of had fun doing last weeks 4 Things for Target. I thought it might become a little series. Today I am sharing 4 things from World Market that have served me well in projects that I have done. They all have great price points and look MUCH more expensive then they really are. Hopefully I will be able to show a few homes that they have made there way into as of late.

1 - Bookcase. I used two in a beach house make over that is currently in process. It flanks french doors and fills in the empty spaces in between.

2 - This owl lamp made a sweet addition to a nursery.

3 - I have used these rattan chair and currently would love to have them myself. Ha. They are great way to break up a dining set and keep it interesting.

4 - This settee I have used twice. One in a beach house nook and another as a dining banquette. The gray is a great tone.

In the Kitchen

Lately I have been wanting to be in the kitchen more. The Mr does most the cooking simply because he is MUCH better at it than me. I am sure the change of season has a lot to do with my new yearning. Spring to me signifies a new beginning. The warmer weather, the sea of green and the new buds put a refreshing energy in me. The raised veggie beds {will share soon} are coming along and I can't wait to add the actual veggies! The kiddos and I talk endlessly of all the yumminess that is in store for us. As you may or may not know I live gluten free and much of the time we are considered paleo. I simply feel better this way. While reading the April issue of SELF magazine I found myself quite excited about Gwyneth Paltrows new cook book, It's All Good. It's all about clean eating. They shared a few recipes and I can't wait to try them. I went ahead and pre ordered the new book {set to release April 2nd} with a gift card that I earned. I will let you know what I think once I get it!

She is quite the natural beauty isn't she. As a side note doesn't her new book blend seamlessly into my kitchen. It's like they belong together. ha.
