DIY Chalkboard Towel Hooks

Found these wooden back hooks at the craft store on sale.

I thought it would be fun to paint them with chalkboard paint so the Boys could have their very own towel hooks.

A couple minutes of painting saves my sanity because I will never hear this again.

"He stole my towel MOM!"

Plus they are just cute!

Inspired by Pinterest~ DIY Glitter Flats

I have seen these on Pinterest and I have been scouring Goodwill for some appropriate flats.

The thrift gods were smiling on me the other day because I found these lovelies.

I knew they would be perfect!

Oh LA LA!

Love me some glittered ANYTHING, but these flats turned out adorable!

What has Pinterest inspired you to do lately?

Have a wonderful Easter weekend all!

Blessings, Nicole

My favorite thing ever! I use it to cook, as it is a healthy oil. A super food, really (look it up!). I use it as a moisturizer on my dry skin. I slather it on my split ends, leave overnight and wash in the morning. Seriously do this! Silky soft hair. I use it to remove my eye make up too. Is there anything coconut oil doesn't do? Nope.

I love this stuff!

Two products I am trying. Both purchased from Ulta.

Hopefully they can help my oily skin (drives me nuts!).

My complete review coming soon!

I found this lovely bird cage this week from GW.

Love it!

My sweet husband purchased me my own domain! I now own Blissfully Blessed dot com!!!

I was freaking out about Google Reader leaving and Kevin decided to surprise me with a new place for my blog!

Sweet guy!

I am working on it slowly. I hate being so computer illiterate. A "computer illiterate blogger," isn't that like a oxymoron? I have to learn as I go I guess.

But, Blissfully Blessed will be up an running soon, YAY!

Made myself a monster taco salad for dinner.

It was so yummy I had to take a picture.

That's whats been going on around here.

Lovely Thrifted Easter Mantle

Decorating for the seasons and holidays is one of my favorites!

I found ALL this Easter Decor at GW for probably under $8! Everything still had the original price tags attached. The one jumbo egg cost more than what spent on the entire lot!

Thanks again Goodwill, you are the best!

Just look how cute this little guy is!

We will be having brunch and an egg hunt with family on Saturday then the same all over again at church on Sunday.

Should be a busy, but fun weekend!

Happy Easter!

What I wore...pops of yellow.

Tee Gap thrifted, lacket AE super old, shorts Cynthia Rowly (new) Marshalls $14! Sandals Marshalls (new) Franco Sarto, so comfortable! Scarf F21. Earrings school fundraiser. Headband Old Navy.

It's warming up here.

Wearing shorts feels so nice!

I never thought I would tire of my familiar boots and skinny jean ensemble, but I totally am!

Found these mustard sandals at Marshalls and I knew they would be a fun pop of color to my spring and summer wardrobe.

Every season I seem to gravitate toward a particular color.

This season it's definitely mustard.

Does anyone else have a favorite color this season?

Life Lately

I won a $50 credit to Shabby Apple in a blog giveaway recently. I bought these beauties with it. Love!

My birthday card from Caleb. I love how it says, "not ugly." Kids say the funniest things! I really loved that it also says, "is nice" and "treats people with respect." Too sweet!
