Weekly Recap – Sept. 30, 2012

September 30, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I’m taking a little break this Saturday, while my Monday post is cooling.  So I thought I would work on my Sunday post.  This Saturday it’s been pretty quite at my house.  My dogs are resting, my Husband went to work and Little Jenny is at work too.  It’s almost to quite in here.  The weather is perfect out, it’s not to hot and not to cold.  The sun is shining and it’s an absolutely perfect fall day.  I have been sneaking outside to relax in the warm sun and catch up on some magazine reading.  While I was sitting outside, my dog went bonkers and I heard a weird barking sound.  I look and it’s this fat squirrel sitting in the tree barking at my dog.  My dog is jumping up on the fence trying to get him.  Now this squirrel loves to torment my dog.  He runs on the fence, jumps in the trees and purposely does it so my dog would go crazy!!  The squirrel even wags his tail.  Oh man, my dog hates that squirrel.  The other day I saw my dog standing up on my outside table, with his paws on the chair trying to see where the squirrel is.  The squirrel is not around.  My dog does his daily rounds, around the yard looking for his furry little friend.  It’s so funny to see this.  My other dog Samantha could care less.  She just lounges on the deck watching her brother act like a maniac.  It’s amazing how dog personalities are so different.

Here’s this weeks weekly recap:

Monday – Pumpkin Smoothie – This is a wonderful drink that is refreshing and healthy.  I had this after my workout and it hit the spot.  I had two of these babies this week!!  I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of pumpkin!


Tuesday – Apple, Cranberry, Chicken Quinoa Salad – I love this salad.  I made a big batch of quinoa this week and I have been having this salad all week for lunch.  I just love all the flavors of it!!

Wednesday – Man vs Woman – Mashed Potato Edition – I was shocked on how wonderful these potatoes are.  Making them in the microwave is so much better than peeling and boiling them.  You can have mashed potatoes in 5 minutes!!!  You have to try this!!

Thursday – Garlic and Lime Chicken Fajitas – I was really surprised how wonderful the McCormick seasonings are.  The flavor combination together is simply wonderful!  I loved this dish and I will be making it again soon!! It’s perfect for leftovers!!!

Friday – Pumpkin Spice Latte – This was created for you!  I have been asked by several readers to create a healthy version of this drink and after a few tries I think I got it down.  This drink is amazing and I will be making this about a bazillion times this fall and winter!

Saturday – Egg Salad Supreme Sandwich – This is Emeril Lagasse’s recipe – I love this sandwich and will be perfect for lunches!  Don’t forget I’m giving away a copy of his cookbook, so be sure to stop by my post.  Just click the Egg Salad Supreme Sandwich link!

One last thing, don’t forget to check out this months Health Magazine!  I’m in it, plus a bunch of other wonderful woman with inspirational stories!!

I think my ???? has cooled off enough.  Time to break into my snack and make a healthy lunch!!  I’m thinking that apple cranberry chicken quinoa salad again!  🙂

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  Since there was a huge Peanut Butter Recall,  I am giving you the link to make sure your PB is not on the list.  Just go here!  Now, maybe you should get that food processor out and make my Peanut Butter!  Check out all my variations on my recipe page!

    I was wondering what to do for lunch, even tempted just to go out. But those egg sandwiches just called my name and that is what I am having!

Happy Friday!  Time to do the happy dance! I don’t have any major plans this weekend, which is nice. But I do think I’ll be cleaning out the pantry. It became a mess during the holidays.
🪶
I’m ending the week with my little friend Woody. Woody is a Nuttall Woodpecker that spends the night in our birdhouse. He comes home at dusk and leaves at sunrise. So right now Woody sleeps just over 14 hours. I have noticed the days are getting longer, as he goes to bed about two minutes later every night. Yes I watch. lol
🪶
My husband said Woody leaves in the morning to go to work and comes home after work. I think he leaves in the morning to go visit his girlfriend. They spend the days flying, holding wings as they soar in the air together.
🪶
I’m actually surprised we have a woodpecker since they normally like to hang around the California Oak Woodland trees. We don’t have oak trees where I live, at least that I know of. Woody is also a California bird, they pretty much stays within the state.
🪶
In the first video; Woody is making the hole bigger on the birdhouse so he could fit in. He was at it for awhile. If you listen to the video, you can here him pecking. He spent the 1st night in the blue birdhouse, then changed his mind to the cedar birdhouse. He’s been with us for 7 nights so far.
🪶
The second video is Woody coming home and going to sleep. We are just full of joy seeing him come back. My husband didn’t think birds lived in a birdhouse, and he is so excited to see one actually use the birdhouse he hung. For a man who didn’t want bird feeders, he gets so excited to see them. If birds are in the yard, he won’t go outside because he doesn’t want to disturb them.
🪶
The two photos were captures I got. He actually didn’t freak out and leave when he saw me. I was about 5’ away from him.
🪶
I know this is not decor, but the birds just make me so happy.
🪶
What is your favorite bird?

Hello hello! Happy Thursday! It’s been a busy w Hello hello! Happy Thursday!  It’s been a busy week, so the weekend can’t get here soon enough. Yesterday it hit 66, it felt like spring out. This weekend, I’ll be cleaning up the garden. I’ll take you on a tiny tour this weekend.
❤️
I love making vignettes. It helps give me ideas on how and where I want to display things in my home, so you may see some of these items placed somewhere else at a later date.
❤️
My friend Liz @little_bit_original gifted me the cute little coffee with heart block and the snowman with heart. Give me all the hearts!  Liz has the cutest little shop, be sure you check her out.
❤️
What would you rather have? Chocolate or Flowers?

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.
💕
