It's About Time

that I post again! Holy crap, I've been a bad blogger! And only coming back for a WIWW post kinda doesn't count, but kinda does too, right? Between my two jobs, an internship (which is amazing and deserves its own post in the near future), and school, blogging has kind of taken a turn on the back burner.

I have a teensy confession to make: I almost skipped class yesterday. I got out of bed at 8:30 (to leave at 8:45), started my cup of coffee, did my daily entries for the HGTV dream home, and snuggled up with my pup. I wasn't even considering class at that point. Then I looked at the clock, said to myself in a kind of yelly fashion, "Kara, get your lazy butt out of bed, put on that super cute outfit (that you picked out for work two days ago and never wore), and get yourself to this class you paid $2500 to take."All in all, the class didn't work out in my favor. Due to a silly technical difficulty, my attendance didn't count, so I totally could've stayed in bed. But instead, I took two pages of notes, made a new friend, and got to wear my super cute outfit.

As I'm sure you can guess, most of my outfit is from American Eagle, as always! But with a 40% discount, it's seriously all I buy anymore. Never, ever work in retail if you want to actually save your money for things other than clothes. (And yes, it took me straightening my hair twice to get rid of my bed head and it still turned out crazy!)

Sorry I've been slightly absent lately! I pinky promise to be back Friday with my H54F post. Have a glorious rest of the week bloggers! :)

Sunday Social

Sunday socials are starting to become the norm around this blog. I can't say that I hate it. ;) Have you met Ashley or Neely yet? They're actually pretty great and host this fun little link up of 5-6 random questions every week!

1. Top 3 favorite kinds of food

• First and foremost, my grandmother's grilled cheese. Cracker Barrel's sourdough bread, and thick slices of Land o' Lakes white American cheese. Yes, it might be a heart attack waiting to happen, but it's the yummiest thing I've ever put in my mouth!
• Secondly, now that I've drooled all over you, cheese pizza, light sauce, stuffed crust. (picky eater over here!)
• Third, I'm really getting into edamame lately. So yummy and healthy! I just don't understand it!

2. First 3 things you do in the morning

• Usually first thing, my sweet sweet baby boy wakes me up and I get to feed him. Have you met my puppy/almost 4 year old yet?

• Then I make myself a cup of coffee. I used to make 2, but then I got an expensive Keurig and had to start monitoring myself. It's ok though, because I just ordered the little refillable cup so I can make as much as I want now!
• Check Instagram/Blogger/Facebook/Twitter... No, I am not addicted to technology. #justkiddingialwayswillbe

3. Last 3 things you do at night

• Brush my teeth, duh!
• Snuggle close with Colston. He loves sleeping in between my legs!
• Watch an episode of whatever show I'm on at that time. Right now it's How I Met Your Mother, but I'm getting close to the end again!

4. 3 TV shows you NEVER miss

• How I Met Your Mother
• Big Bang Theory
• Parks and Rec

I could list like 80 more (especially on HGTV alone), but luckily for you, it only asked for 3. ;)

5. 3 places you want to visit

• Greece
• DisneyWorld!
• Washington DC

6. 3 people you can always count on

• My sister
• My mom
• My dad

Of course I'm just going to use family on that. They're all so amazing and took such amazing care of me while I was living in Louisiana. Love you!

Making Perfect Magnets

Having recently moved, I didn't have any perfect magnets ready for our cute little refrigerator. Of course, when I saw this easy little magnet project floating around the internet, I knew I had to go for it. I grabbed 5 magnets from our local pizza joint and went to work. Here's everything you'll need for the little project:

Once you have all your supplies together, it is super easy to peel back the actual advertisement part of the magnet.

Measure out the paper to match the size of the magnet. Mine was 2x6 inches so I used my paper cutter to make it the same size.

After cutting your paper, apply a very generous amount of Mod Podge to the paper on the magnet. And if you don't have a paintbrush, totally feel free to dip your finger in. ;)

Apply the paper directly on top of the magnet, and BOOM. Perfectly cute little magnets:

I'm definitely considering adding some Cricut elements to spice them up a bit. I'd love to know if you tried them out. They're so fun and easy to make!
