6 on Sunday, #yeeeeeeeyeah

Hello, New World! 

I come to you tonight, a much happier and healthier Sciato! Yahoo! :) 
I have 6 wonderful things to share with you tonight! Get those jazz hands ready!

This week's edition is brought to you by several labors of love, all that happened within the last 8 days, much of which is sponsored in part by Picstitch. The app I always forget I have... Until I need it most!

1. Master bedroom facelift. In a big way! See before/after picstitch below...


Yeah, that's a darker blue accent wall by the window! Finally- we are starting to piece this room together! No more dark sad colors in here!! Now, we gotta do some decorating!

2. We aren't embarrased to bring people into our kitchen!! B Asthton "01" is gone!!! 


New World, if you are unaware, Janissa's house used to have a sponge painted kitchen, with SEVEN hand-oil-paintings of unidentifiable fruit. One such atrocity was signed (but my newest theory is that a friend of our former owners signed it for fun- who knows what we might let our friends do if we've had enough booze!) ... Regardless of its origin, it was a disgusting trend that needed to go. Bad. 


Well... B Ashton and all 7 of his works of wonder "art" are gone!! Buh-bye!  See the befores and afters, new world!


They even sponge painted the garage DOOR! So we just painted that white. Well, "Balance" to be exact. Yes. I choose paint colors like I choose nail polish and eye shadow- a very strict process of which has the best name. 

3. I picked up my wedding band this week!!!! It's shiny and perfect and I want to wear it now!!! Unfortunately, Heffe won't let me:) and he's put it on lockdown until the Big Day. No pics for you yet, New World. Just have to wait- like me!!

4. Project Yard Clean-Up has begun!!! 
You can make your own judgments of the previous homeowners based alone in their paint choices... Truth be told, they maintained this house incredibly well... And for being almost 21 years old... I can only hope we keep it in the shape it's in. It's great for us. Anyway. They spent a lot of time and money in their landscaping. Unfortunately, a few trees and plants did not grow according to their plan. We have some major clean up to do- so we started today!


Don't judge us, New World. We live in Ohio. It's only March 9. We'd gladly like to NOT put our yard waste bags on our front porch, but we have rock salt in the empty garage space... Which we will probably need this week when the low is 7 after 3 days of 60+degrees. Smh. 
Anyway... Project Clean-Up Yard has begun. :)

5. Heffe and I food prepped for the week!!
It's no secret that when it comes to self-control about indulging ourselves... Janissa has none. So, trying to avoid that, we went back to our roots and food prepped breakfast and lunches for all 5 days this week. Baby steps, but we're gettin back on the wagon!!


6. Heffe and I started building one of our wedding registries!!! 


YAY!!! SO fun, SO easy... We can only hope our other registry goes just as smoothly!!

BONUS, New World!!!! 

7. Time. 
I find myself usually stressed (shocker) about the time change when we "spring forward." I love the extra daylight, but it's so frustrating to have an hour taken away... We all know how precious time is- it's by far our most valuable resource. 
Well, this week, New World, I reset my outlook on life, and this weekend, I reset my clocks. And without skipping a beat, Heffe and I were able to do so many things this weekend- we were efficient, but also able to soak up every memorable moment. 


My goal for this week is to keep a firm grip on my reset outlook, and to remember that every once in awhile, time really can be on my side. 

What are your 6 .. Or 7:) ... on this Sunday? :)

Until next time, new world...

This is me, bein me. 

Cheers. :)
