Let's get {organized}!

I have always been an organizational fanatic - I have more notebooks than I could ever fill up, I get excited going to Office Stores, my planners in college were my lifeline, and I love making lists - just so I can cross things off when they are done.  Given this, I was excited when I saw this notebook idea over at Oh, Hello Friend.  I just love how the notebook looks!  Crazy, I know, but I will definitely be making my very own organizational notebook today!


I also love what she used to decorate her notebook - as well as other things for around the house, found at Wanderlust.  These are a few of my favorites:

After much searching, I have found my Easter Dress!  Mom and I were [walking] past JCrew about 3 weeks ago [me being unable to shop - Lent - we didn't even dare go in!] and we spotted this dress and I knew it would be the perfect dress for Easter!  Good thing the Easter Bunny agreed!

... a beautiful Spring day!

Even though I am still holding out hope for one huge snow storm, I am starting to give in to this wonderful Spring weather.  There is something about the people out and about, the grills being fired up, and the kids playing the yard, that just puts a smile on my face!
