Blue and Gold Succulent Pots

DIY Blue and Gold Succulent Pots for Boyscout Blue and Gold Dinner

:: Blue and Gold Succulent Pots ::

Spring has sprung and I am all about being practical.  A couple of weeks ago we celebrated The Blue and Gold Dinner for our Boy Scout Troop.  Instead of making an impractical centerpiece; our den along with some parental guidance {hmm, hmm} created these lovely Blue and Gold Succulent Pots. Perfect for a spring display both inside or out.  These succulent pots take very little water and what is best of all, an added tent, pictures, and a small fire {made out of sticks and tissue} make these Blue and Gold Succulent Pots a fantastic desert survival themed centerpiece!

Weekend Lovelies

The Best advice from Glitter Inc.

:: Weekend Lovelies ::

Welcome to a much needed edition of Weekend Lovelies! Wow I don’t know about you, but I simply can not add one more to-do to the ongoing list of life.  Are we all on the same page with the end of the school year near? I feel like life seems to pack it all in at the end.  I am trying to have a little faith like the above noted lovely piece of advice from Glitter Inc.  I will have faith, and if not I will find a way to celebrate life and another year of health and happiness with my upcoming birthday! I will make it to next Saturday! Sara and I are excited to take in these life moments and all it’s celebrations next week.  Sara will be celebrating Seth’s 8th birthday, a much needed family trip, and Father’s Day.  I will be busy enjoying (I think) school field trips, a recital, my birthday, and Father’s Day. That being said we will be taking the week off from Simply.  We hope you all stay tuned and catch up on some of our posts you may have missed along the way.  We will be returning after next week.  Here were some of our posts from this week: Cheesy Tamale Pie and Mason Jar Succulents.  We hope you all take in these last school moments and enjoy the weekend.  Summer we can’t wait for you to greet us!
