Thankful Thursday

56. Plastic tubs - Every year our life ends up in these things, stacks of them. I don't know what I would do without them. Our life in boxes, sounds like a song...

57. Plans the hubby makes - I just learned that he wants to take me to Seattle for Valentine's day to spend the night at a fancy-shmancy hotel and explore the city, my heart truly melted when he told me that - romantic first Valentine's day as a married couple - Check!

58. Harley kitty - As much as he can drive me bananas at night time when he starts going crazy and running up walls and getting into the bread, I love my fur baby so much and can't believe he's almost a year old! He used to be so tiny, no he's a chunk-a-munk!

59. Great organization/storage ideas from IHeartOrganizing - I made a pact to myself  in my previous post that when we move into the new house things are going to be different this time and I'm going to make sure that things are organized. I will be doing that with the help of this love lady! She has SO many great storage/organizing/CUTE ideas -I can't even take it! Pretty please, if you are even thinking about doing some organizing of your own, hop skip or jump over to her blog, you won't be sorry!

PS I really want to make this project from her blog - SO CUTE right?!

60. Venti black iced tea from Starbucks with one Splenda -mmmmmm it's like summer in a cup. I LOVE iced tea, it's the perfect way to get caffeine in the morning without drinking coffee and getting the jitters - Thank you Starbucks for making such a perfect blend of summer dreamin for me :)

What is everyone else thankful for this week?!

PS - Don't forget to enter my very first GIVEAWAY! :)

Moving Contract, Giveaway Announcement, and a couple Thank You's

Good morning! Happy Tuesday!


First -I'm putting this in my blog, because I figure I will have something tangible to look back on when I contemplate throwing something in the corner, leaving it for someone else to do, and not organizing like I should. Something to keep myself accountable.

I, Amanda Lynn Hutson(Moury) do solemnly swear;
-That I will not stuff things in places they don't belong
-That I will be better at labeling items
-That I will organize our belongings
-That I will not wait for someone else to do it for me, I will take the initiative and do it myself.
-That I will unpack all of our things in a reasonable amount of time
-That I will actually move in - this includes but is not limited to, hanging photos/mirrors/artwork up, unpacking ALL said boxes, opening wedding gifts we haven't had room for until now, etc
-That I will decorate and make this house a home
-That I will not stress and get caught up in material things that we don't have, we will accumulate over time

There. That should do it.

Second - I will be announcing my very first giveaway on Friday! I'm super excited, it's nothing fancy, just
celebrating being a woman!
Please stay tuned!

Third - I just wanted to say a quick thank you to my unsung followers, I've gotten messages, Facebook posts, and through the grapevine, some really inspiring words from you about my blog - can I please say from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. I'm not sure if many of you know the story of when I was planning our wedding, I put a lot of it on Facebook - like I had an entire picture album dedicated to 'wedding ideas' because we had/have so much family out of town that aren't able to be apart of the planning process, I wanted them to feel included. Surprisingly I received quite of bit negative feedback and mocking from some friends and family, making fun of how 'often' I was posting about the wedding and 'didn't I have anything better to do?'. Excuse me for caring about my family, and excuse you for being rude. If you don't like what I have to say/post - don't read it and or delete me. So when I started this blog I was fearful of the same thing happening. I've gotten a few jabs but mostly just positive feedback and I can't tell you how grateful I am and what it does for my creative spirit.

So, thank you, thank you, thank YOU.

 Especially Juan and Tassie - Thank you <3

PS - Please see my other post this morning, I have two :)
