Bitchin' Kitchens

I'm not sure if its like this everywhere else in the world but growing up in South Louisiana there's alot of time spent in the Kitchen. Down here the Kitchen is truly the Heart of the Home. Its where everyone congregates and shares laughs over drinks and food, and you're always welcome in Momma's kitchen whether you're family or not! In South Louisiana we entertain as much in our kitchens as we do in our Living Rooms and Dining Rooms, if not more! So here are some fabulous kichens for you to feast your eyes on!

Happy Friday!

WOO HOO!!! 

Its Friday and only a few hours stand between me and my weekend!!! 
YAY!!!
Am I the only one who feels like a kid and school just let out for summer vacation every Friday at 5???
Just wondering...

Anyway, this weekend I'll get to spend time with family & friends and hopefully I'll get a chance to catch up on organizing and de-cluttering stuff around the house. 
I figure its been almost a year since we got married- its time to unwrap & put away the wedding presents that are currently residing in the guest bedroom!
I mean I'd like to be able to actually put "GUESTS" in the "GUEST BEDROOM"
Call me crazy... 

 Even though I love the idea of being orderly with everything nicely in its place my ADD keeps our house from remaining neat and tidy too long (i.e. more than a few hours) 
And my attempts at organization usually end up with half filled Rubbermaid containers and me on the other side of the house flipping through a Sephora/Crate&Barrel/Pottery Barn catalog saying 
"Ooohhhhh...all the pretty colors..."
I'm gonna give it a good old college try this weekend.
(BTW where did that phrase even come from?)

So because I am such a visual person and need all the help I can get I've rounded up some of my favorite Organizational Images. 
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!

LOVE!!!

Im Blushing....

I don't know if it's because Valentine's Day is around the corner, or because I'm looking forward to Spring, or even possibly because I'm channeling the RHOBH's fabulous Lisa Vanderpump and her daughter Pandora's fabulously glamourous pink themed Beverly Hills wedding from the season finale Monday night but I've become OBSESSED with the color pink lately! Here are a few of my recent Pretty Pink Picks via Pinterest...

Memorial Day

To many Memorial Day is just an extra day off from work 
to Bar-B-Que and celebrate the beginning of summer...

To many others it is a meaningful holiday commemorating those who 
have fallen in military service for their countries.

  My husband is an Iraq War Veteran, and while we fire up the pit and celebrate as countless other Americans do on Memorial Day, there is always a moment of reflection and the remembrance of what this day truly means.

Today, we honor the lives and memories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.
