Hello!<\/p>\n

Do you ever have a week where you just feel like you’re\u00a0constantly<\/em> running behind schedule, despite your best efforts to get things done? \u00a0That’s been me this week. \u00a0Things like unexpected job delays, going out of town, and cleaning my carpets at midnight because my dogs got out, ate who-knows-what, and puked on my carpet<\/del>. \u00a0My older dog is acting like he’s hungover. \u00a0Can hardly walk, curled up on the floor, whining and crying because he doesn’t want to be in the basement by himself. \u00a0He seems to forget that he’s a middle aged man-dog, and can’t party like he did when he was a puppy. \u00a0Too many squirrel shooters I think. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I missed last week’s 5+1 because I was out of town for a baseball tournament, so I have lots to share with you this week! \u00a0This post contains some affiliate links.<\/p>\n

Coach House Accents Simulated Garage Door Window<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Awhile back, I shared some magnetic garage door handles like these<\/a> that you could add to a metal garage door to give it a custom look \u00a0These simulated garage door windows<\/a> take things to a whole new level! \u00a0Turn a plain door into a custom door without replacing them altogether. \u00a0Talk about curb appeal!<\/p>\n

\"Simulated<\/p>\n

QUICKDRAW DIY Self-Marking Tape Measure<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

This tape measure<\/a> is another one of those products where you smack yourself on the forehead and think,\u00a0“Duh.” \u00a0<\/em>It has a pencil built-in to the tape measure<\/em> so you can make your marks while you’re measuring!\u00a0Makes marking your projects easy peasy, so that you may actually be able to measure once, cut once for a change.<\/p>\n

\"Quick<\/p>\n

Tentsile Tree Tent<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Now, I’m not know to be the most outdoorsy girl out there, but I’m thinking if I had one of these Tensile Tree Tents<\/a>, that I might give camping a try. \u00a0How cool are these tents? \u00a0They’re off the ground and serve as kind of a tent\/hammock all in one. \u00a0Plus, they help to keep the bugs out – brilliant idea!<\/p>\n

\"Tree<\/p>\n

If I ever decide to start climbing mountains, they work well in that situation as well. \u00a0So smart.<\/p>\n

\"Tree<\/p>\n

Don’t Let Me Go<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I just finished this book and thought it was worth sharing. \u00a0Don’t Let Me Go<\/a> is a story about how a group of neighbors essentially band together to help a little girl who is the daughter of a drug addicted mother. \u00a0I know it sounds like a downer at first glance, but it’s really very heartwarming, and one that I grew to appreciate the more I got into it. \u00a0Worth a read (or a listen, if you’re an Audible addict like I am).<\/p>\n

\"Don't<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Microplane Zester<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

On a completely different note, this microplane zester<\/a> is something that I have in my kitchen that is great for adding fresh lemon or lime zest to recipes (I use it for adding zest to lemon blueberry muffins or even some yummy zucchini muffins). \u00a0A must-have, since a little goes a long way.<\/p>\n

\"Lemon<\/p>\n

Ear Plugs<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Now, I know earplugs<\/a> are kind of an odd thing to share, and I don’t use them all of the time, but there is a time and a place for them. \u00a0When you need them, you\u00a0need them.<\/em> \u00a0Like when you’re out of town for a baseball tournament, sleeping in a hotel that’s on a busy street in downtown Indianapolis. \u00a0Yeah, times like that. \u00a0Godsend I tell you.<\/p>\n

\"Earplugs\"<\/p>\n

My +1 for the week that I don’t like –\u00a0any sort of light in my bedroom when I sleep.<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0My husband swears that I’m part vampire, but I love to sleep in a bat cave of darkness. \u00a0I prefer to have the door closed, shades drawn, and even go so far as to cover up any digital clocks that may be glaring unnecessary light into my sleeping space. \u00a0My husband on the other hand, can sleep through just about anything, and doesn’t understand that I can see light, even if my eyes are closed.<\/p>\n

I think there are even studies showing that sleeping in the pitch black<\/del>\u00a0darkness is good for you. \u00a0So it’s really all about health, right?<\/p>\n

And the winner of the Homearama tickets is Amy Faler! \u00a0Enjoy! \u00a0I went to Homearama this week and will be sharing it with you next week. \u00a0Can’t wait to share all of the design ideas and trends with all of you.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
