My Loft order came the other day so I wanted to share some great Loft finds because their sales have been really great the last few weeks. I tried on some great tops that I ordered because the prices were so good and I didn’t want to miss a good deal! Here are my recent purchases and a few other pieces I am loving that may make their way into my cart!

And a few things I have my eyes on….
Our coffee maker broke last week and our Starbucks down the street is closed preventing me from getting my daily cup of coffee! It makes me wonder how many times is it acceptable to order Starbucks or Dunkin from Uber Eats??? Luckily I didn’t have to go without my coffee for that long because the day our Keurig died, Jake went on his phone and ordered a new one with next day delivery as a surprise for me. Of course we didn’t realize we were also out of K cups so we did a big order on Amazon of coffee supplies! We are officially one of those couples who share a pot of coffee together now and it’s great! Our K-Duo has the ability to make single cup coffee and a whole pot of coffee with one machine. Super easy to use and it’s going a lot cheaper than a daily coffee from Starbucks!

I am proud to say that I have been productive every day this week. Even if it’s a little laundry on one day or completely reorganizing a cabinet, something got done. I’ve been avoiding saying that I am bored because of the extra time on my hands. Instead, I tell myself that I have some free time and find ways to enjoy it. From watching the Real Housewives series to organizing and cleaning floors, I want to be able to list some achievements when this pandemic is over. It’s also been a great way to cope with my anxiety because it keeps me busy. I talked a little but about this productivity goal on the blog earlier this week.
This Mother’s Day will be a little different but I am excited that my mom, aunt and cousins will be doing a Zoom tea party so we can all be together. It’s definitely different but it gives us a reason to dress up and spend time with each other.
I’m going to link a previous blog post that covers some show recommendations to watch right now. I’m watching the shows that I never got to watch so I’m watching them from the beginning to catch up.
As a special treat, I have been doing a face mask every night before bed. My goal right now is to use all of the products collecting dust in my cabinet. It’s going to take a while but it’s a fun goal!
Some exciting news is that we got a new Keurig! My Keurig was my parents first Keurig that is very very old and it finally brewed its last cup of coffee! I planned on buying another one for myself as a Christmas present because I just didn’t want to spend that much money right now. The next day the doorbell rang and a new Keurig showed up on our doorstep! I am so lucky that Jake ordered me a new one as a present. We like this model because we can make a pot of coffee which is great for us since we are home all day now.
I caved and ordered Entertaining with Disney because it was so cute! It has definitely encouraged me to start planning a party once this quarantine is over! It is so cute and has a ton of great ideas.
In the mornings I have been making smoothies with my cup of coffee. I found an easy way to make them with these frozen fruit and veggie blend kits and yogurt. So easy and super quick! And they taste delicious!
I’m turning the word “bored” into “free time” because right now boredom is just experiencing more free time than we ever had before. When I get bored, I make myself excited that I have time to start a project. I mentioned earlier on the blog about making a list of things to do to keep myself busy to prevent boredom and keep my spirits up. Gardening was one of thing things on my list and now that we have nice weather, I’m excited to get into the backyard and get my hands dirty. Gardening is easy to do and keep up with during the summer months. It doesn’t matter if you live in a house or an apartment, you can easily add some greenery to your home!
This weekend I hope the weather stays nice so I can walk down to my local hardware store because they are selling flowers and supplies. Lowes and Home Depot also have some great deals going on right now if you are able to get there. I’m going to order a few things online so they are ready for us this weekend and I have them listed below. For those living in apartments, start small with an indoor plant and herb garden. I had succulents all around my old apartment because they were easy to keep alive and did a great job of adding some greenery into my small space!
Luckily we already have a table and chairs set that I’ve been sitting at to have my morning coffee in the morning. It’s been marvelous! I grew up spoiled with a couch on a wraparound porch where my family and I would have breakfast and coffee every morning. I’m trying to make our little row home have the same feeling so we can create new memories. Our budget is small and we don’t have that much space but I am determined to create a space that I love to use. I hope you have nice weather this weekend so you can get outside and enjoy some sun while you work on your garden!

Who knew that I would be so excited about an organized fridge? The acrylic organizers are a big game changer when it comes to keeping your fridge looking clean and Pinterest worthy. I found this set on Amazon that has everything you need to keep a fridge clean. I can’t tell you how many times I would forget I had something or food spoiled because it got lost in the back of my fridge. Now when I use the clear containers, it makes it easy to see everything and even easier to clean! I like to have a container filled with my yogurt so I can just open the fridge in the morning and easily grab and go without the hassle of having to dig to the back of the fridge to find one. They make grocery shopping easier because I can see what I am running low on and what I’m out of at a quick glance. I keep my leftovers in one of the containers so I don’t forget about food in my fridge. I even love coming home from the grocery store because it is easy to put everything away and the containers keep everything looking tidy. It took me less than 10 minutes to wipe down my fridge and put condiments and snacks in their box making it an easy and quick way to get organized!
Happy Monday! I’m trying to be excited about this week because it’s a new opportunity to have a good week. I woke up this morning showered, put makeup on, did my hair and put on a real outfit. I wanted to go through the actions of having a normal day pre-quarantine. However, I was fortunate to be able to have breakfast outside in our backyard while I made up my to do list for the day. After I finished my coffee, I headed back inside to get some work done. Then in the afternoon I will work on a project around the house before doing some self care to treat myself. There is something that makes me have more energy when I have a project to complete because I can see my hard work paying off right away. I like to end my days with some self care because it’s a nice way to unwind before bed. I’m finally using all of my skincare products that were collecting dust in my cabinet!
I like to stay productive during the week and get excited about the opportunity to be able to tackle some projects around the house. Instead of watching tv in my free time I like to get a project done instead so I keep my body moving. Our house is going to be so clean and organized at the end of this!
Here are some ways to stay productive that can be done in an afternoon or be a fun weekend project!
