Welcome back to another edition of Cottage Keeping! I hope you’ve had a grand week!

My Thoughts This Week:
1 – It’s taken me pretty much all week to recover from our spring break trip and my fantastic, yet super quick weekend to Huntsville. My daughter was able to spend a night with her BFF’s and I was able to help a client get a jumpstart on putting her home on the market.
2 – I ordered a new planner this week because my current planner runs out in June. Believe it or not, I’m needing to write down dates for July and August already! So I bought this Wyze Planner. I’m going to try it out while I talk myself into the price tag on the Full Focus Planner.
3 – Why do the shows I choose to binge-watch either have 1 season or 10 seasons? 1 season is not enough and 10 seasons takes me a year to finish. Think Gilmore Girls! I’ve been watching since we moved 9 months ago and haven’t even made it to the final season yet.
4 – This is the time of year when I’m never ready for the weather to get warmer! My legs are sheepish white and my feet are in great need of a good pedicure! It’ll be June before I can wear the new Yellow Box Flip FlopsI bought at the beach.
5 – It was a slow week on the blog. (See #1) I posted these 10 Time Management Tips as a follow-up to the conversation we had over in the Realistic Solutions Facebook group this week. You can always check out the Farmhouse Living Room Design and the Master Bedroom Design from a few weeks ago!

Things I’m Loving This Week:
I’m going to work these Low Carb Chicken Club sandwiches into my menu next week.
These DIY Nautical Candle Holders are so pretty! I’m a sucker for all things nautical!
Where are my coffee-drinking friends? Here are tips to make the perfect cup of coffee at home!
These Chalkboard Easter eggs are a fun new take on decorating Easter eggs!
I love using mason jars in my decor! Add a little spring to them with these ideas.
