My favorite thing
about today was….
about today was….
Being productive.
I work four, 10-hr. days.
Tuesday is my day off.
And it was a busy one.
I….
Made pulled pork in my crock pot
for our home community pot luck.
Washed dishes.
Cleaned the house.
Did laundry. *Gasp!*
Washed the car….which I never do. EVER.
because Craig won’t let me take it through
the drive-thru wash. So I did it by hand.
So not worth it in Oregon because it’s always
raining. Oh well…it’ll be shiny for a day.
…or two.
Dropped off mail at the post office.
Made cookies.
Went grocery shopping.
Bought this new Peach Ginger Ale.
Dropped off Amanda’s giveaway present to her
and brought her coffee at work.
She’s pretty adorable.
She made me this.
Isn’t it awesome?
Now my sunglasses won’t get all
scratched up in my purse :).
THANKS AMANDA!!!
ALSO…..
Remembered to post a picture of what I received through the Knick Knack Exchange that Danielle (over at Dinosaurtoes) hosted.
The person who got me was Kellie over at The Rice Babies.
She makes the cutest little dolls over at her etsy shop (here).
Here’s what she sent me….
*A sweet little vintage hanky*
*Cute buttons*
*Pretty hairpins*
*Lovely little doll*
*Darling letter press cards*
*Wallet made from a vintage hanky*
Thank you so much Kellie! I loved each and every item you included in the package. As for my Knick Knack Exchange partner…..well…..I’m sucky and disorganized sometimes, and it just got sent out….finally. Hopefully it’ll be worth the wait.
What was your favorite thing
about today?

I want some of those cookies!
Ok, firstly, I would like to live in your community in order to grub on some of that pulled pork you made. Secondly, I am super excited about peach gingerale! Gingerale is by far my favorite drink in the world next to water, add peach, forget about it!
My favorite thing is getting extra rest to help kick my head cold. And in a turn of events CA got Oregon’s rain. Which was also my favorite thing about today. Hopefully stays that way a little so your car stays shiney!
wow, you were productive!
i guess i don’t need to make you a sunglass case anymore 😉
good job miss susie homemaker!
and, wow, you lucked out with your knick knack exchange partner! how fun!
hope you have a lovely wednesday my friend
xo. thanks.
xo. thanks.
You have been so busy but you were really productive. My fave thing about today was closing another wedding photography coverage with a client over lunch. xoxo
Woah girl you were productive yesterday! I want to learn to make pulled pork SO bad (it’s delish!). Is the recipe you used an easy enough one for me? 🙂 And I LOVE that clock you’ve got in your living room. Those have been my favorite for awhile now and when I saw it on your wall I got mighty excited. LOVE IT! Also, you got some pretty great things in your swap. Go you! 🙂
Your home is so beautiful! My favorite thing about today? The fact that the Glee cast is coming to Chicago and I get to see them:)
i think crock pots are the best invention ever. lazy cooking is so perfect for me!!
do you like your land rover?? we were just looking at one the other day for me but I don’t know anyone that has one.
have a great day & enjoy your cookies 🙂
Yay for a productive day! I have Mondays off so that is my day to get stuff done or else. I love it when I’m able to do a lot of stuff but absolutely hate it when I’m still in my jammies after noon.
Happy Wednesday!
PS Do I spy subway tiles in your kitchen?
I *tried* to be that productive yesterday … no go. I get distracted too easily…
But I did… do laundry (including washing hand wash things BY HAND!), wash (most of) the dishes, cook dinner, fold clothes, make a consignment appointment… at least it’s a little something 🙂
so, you’re totally not alone in being behind with the exchange.
i am, too! bleh.
what you got is so cute, tho! love it.
you had such a busy day.
you’re like a machine! haha.
Pretty sink, pretty house, yay for laundry! What a happy day.
You’re like the Energizer Bunny!! Like my mother always says, a clean house is a happy house!! 🙂
Holy man Lauren you were PRODUCTIVE! I was all happy because I STARTED packing for our vacation! I need to be you for a day!
okay, lauren, seriously with the over achieving? i feel so unproductive right now. 🙂
Yay for being so productive! I work 12-14 hours a day 4 -5 days a week. I LOVE my two days off so that I can be productive too!
awww! i am always jealous when it is tuesday and i know that you have it off 🙂 but i am happy that you get it off and can get stuff done or be lazy if you want! looks like you got tons done yesterday though! i wish i had a day in the week off instead of just the weekend! sometimes its nice having a day off that everyone else has to work!
those cookies look awesome! what kind are they? just chocolate chip? ive been trying to find a good chocolate chip recipe…
and i love all the cute little knick knacks that you got from Kellie! soo cute!!
haha, i love that craig wont let you take the car through the car wash..that is too funny. i don’t know if sean would trust me doing anything with his car. i mean truck. he gets mad when i call it a car.
anyway, yay for being productive!! hope you have a lovely wednesday lauren! i love you!
Oh my gosh~
You’re making me look bad..;-)
You were a busy little thing!!
We used to have a white Land Rover..I miss it!
Happy Wednesday Lauren!!
thanks for visiting me! highlight of my day and probably whole week 🙂
Good girl for being so productive, those days are the best!
Ps I am wearing my new earrings today, love them!
have a beautiful wednesday!
I wish I could be that productive! Sounds like you got so much done. I loved the knick knack exchange!
holy productivity!!!!
sounds like a great day. I NEVER wash my car, need to take care of that… 😉
Happy Wednesday!
Yay for being productive. 🙂 I need to use my day off during the week to be productive, but it is every other week, that I have Monday’s off, so I guess I should do it. hehe.
wow you were super woman!!!! im still sickie!
i love your hamper.
and i havent gotten anything from the knick knack exchange! i got jipped.
and your house and car are so shiny and new! good job….and you cooked too and made cookies!!! come over please!!!
xo
Brandi
look at you so productive! kudos 🙂
wow you were SUPER productive! That is so great. First of all I can’t believe you work 10 hour days! That must be so rough! I’d probably sleep and be lazy on my day off but that’s awesome you got so much done! And I love your gifts from the knick-knack exchange!! So cute!
Holy that is a productive day! Is it weird that I really enjoy your laundry hamper. AND you have my dream car. When I come to Portland this summer and some random things around your house and maybe your car go missing, it wasn’t me 😉
happy wednesay girl. glad you had a day off yesterday. i do have mine today! woohoo! 🙂 and i wasn’t as productive as you were yesterday. 🙁 but that ginger peach sounds great…gotta try it out soon. 🙂
have a terrific and less hectic day today. xoxo
that is THE CUTEST little dolly ever!! don’t you just love Ricebabie’s creations? what a great exchange!
you were a busy bee 🙂 i love your house decor and the exposed brick…
i love your laudry keeper… where did you get it? it’s so cute! xo
My favorite thing about the day was reading the Tina Fey interview in Vogue.
dang
you were super busy and you had time to take pics of everything! !
I love those days! Too bad I haven’t had one in a while 🙁
Your house looks adorable by the way, I hope to one day get my decorating sense together and have a cute place like that!
I had coffee with my sister today .. so it cheered up my rainy day!! Much love sweet lady!! XO
You were so productive it’s almost inspiring!!! Haha. You definitely got a lot accomplished 🙂 My boyfriend has been wanting a crock pot forever, and if he had one, that’s the first thing he’d make, I’m sure of it! By the way, love the brick backsplash in your kitchen.
wow look at you productive lady! i had so many plans to get things done when i came home from teaching but i’m just too tired!!
You were sooo busy! I’m jealous…my plan was to do a lot of those same things today but I’m sick and stuck on the couch. Great job being productive!
Pulled pork is so good! My favorite day of today was having a bridal party day. My best friend is getting married in May & we got our dresses altered then went out for lunch & some shopping. 🙂
YOU ARE TRUELY AN INSPIRATION.
my free days? baking. and oh yeah nothing else. taking a tip from you and gonna try to be as productive!! i love everything about your house {from all the two things i love series..} BUT your adorable little laundry basket just won me over!!!
You’re awesome, and I want all of that food.
you are the greatest! <3.
j.
wow awesome!
so i have a random question for you…..my boyfriend has been thinking about moving to Portland, Oregon (which sucks for me, since I live in Florida….) but I was wondering, are there any pros, cons, or tidbits you could share with me about Oregon to tell him? He use to go there every summer, but I thought it might be cool to share with him some facts about it from people that live there… Thanks!

All of that stuff looks so neat! That exchange sounds like so much fun, I wish I had known about it! hopefully there will be another one.
wow! you were busy.
productive day indeed! those cookies looks delish! and i love how marley is hiding in the background of the peach ginger ale photos, such a cute pup you have!
