these are a few of my favorite things…

“Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
these are a few of my favorite things.”

yes, this is what i had in mind too!

i LOVED this movie. did you?

and now i get to share some of my favorite things and a preview of what’s to come for April’s Green Living DIY!

5 things i’m loving right now:

1. the turquoise, green & yellow fabrics i bought today for our playroom window treatments {yes, they all have pattern and yes, i’ll be blogging about this soon}

2. limeade. a dash of summer.

3. an amazing church. don’t have one or need to hear more? you can listen in here.

4. quiet evenings with a my JJ Heller Pandora Station playing.

5. Reese’s Easter Eggs. yes. amazing. now i want some. don’t you?

5 of my FAVORITE posts from this past year {considering i had 50 this is really narrowing it down for me!}

1. a DIY curtain from a flat bedsheet… went viral on Pinterest {at least viral for our small-blog-sorta-way}

2. “LOVE” pillows… adding some paint to plain pillowcases never looked SO good.

3. spray painting awful gold jewelry… and you can too!

4. host a swap party… go ahead. do it. you’ll be the coolest chick to know in town! :)

5. DIY monogrammed wall art… sophisticated. lovely. inexpensive.

5 thinks i’ll be using for April’s projects:

i want you to REALLY read into these photos — what am i trying to tell YOU to do to prepare for this month?? start saving stuff you would typically discard because we have some GOOD DIY projects coming up… every Monday for a month of Green Living!
