What I learned this weekend...

Here are a few, VERY RANDOM, things I learned this weekend...

I am bored with almost all of my magazine subscriptions. Is is just me, or are the magazines all getting thinner and the ads getting more numerous? I can find more inspiration and decorating ideas off of the internet, and the many amazing blogs that I read, than I can from any of my magazines (with the exception of my beloved Jeanne d' Arc Living magazine...still loving that one).

French Brie might taste good, but it is just too stinky to serve at a party (trust me on this one girls)!

If you want to make your own burlap table runner, cut your fabric outside, or your dining room will be covered in a haze of burlap dust.

If you buy a container of chocolate covered almonds from Trader Joe and think that you will only eat one or two pieces, you're fooling yourself! (these are dangerously good)

Allowing a 2 year old to play with a ball outside, will ALWAYS result in the ball rolling into the street, so don't even try to sit down and relax.

And lastly, I learned that after having 3 kids, I should stop asking the sales woman to bring me both the size 8 1/2 and size 9 shoe to try on, because as much as I want to, I just don't fit into an 8 1/2 anymore (why must our feet get larger after having children?)!

I told you they were random...

Our weather is glorious here in the Midwest, hope yours is too! Enjoy what's left of your weekend!!!
