Coffee Date: All Dressed Up
Hey Friends!
I had some server issues yesterday, so in case you missed it be sure to check out my Pretty Muddy Recap (with awesome video footage!)
Thanks for stopping by for coffee! I’m in desperate need of an extra cup today. I have been totally hooked on Green Mountain’s Pumpkin Spice coffee lately. Don’t tell anyone, but I actually hide my box of Pumpkin Spice K-cups so I am less likely to have to share…
If we were having coffee today I would tell you that I actually got semi dressed up today. And when the daughter saw me she kept insisting we had to be going somewhere. No, hunny, sometimes mommy likes to feel nice about herself. I guess she assumes if I’m just in a tshirt we obviously aren’t going anywhere. I guess I should work on my at home fashion sense!
I wore these when we went out for lunch, are they awesome or what? I found them at Target for just over $30!
If we were having coffee today, I would probably beg you for your advice on organizing. I have been feeling the urge to purge! I find my decent sized house feeling cluttered with stuff and like I talked about before clutter really gets me flustered and frustrated. My daughters room is one area that has been bothering me and I’ve been meaning to take care of it for like ever. Then yesterday after nap time I find this:
She decided to feed the entire bottle of fish food to the fish. Seriously?!
I don’t know why but that got me started in my manic cleaning mood and I ended up FINALLY cleaning out her closet. I put away here receiving blankets and onesies and replaced them with all her tutus and dress up clothes. Now I’m slightly jealous of her princess dress up closet with reading nook.
It felt so good to get everything organized that I think i’m going to keep the momentum going and de-clutter other areas little by little. I seriously feel less stressed out when it is clutter free.
So if we were having coffee I would ask you what your best de cluttering tips are. Please help me!
I would also tell you how excited I am to meet up with some local STL bloggers tonight. It is going to be awesome to actually get to interact with likeminded people in real life! More to come on that next week!
What would you tell me if we were meeting up for coffee?
I’m linking up with Alissa from Rags to Stitches!

Gosh this week I would be doing a lot of venting lol. Top on my list would probably me telling you about my dramatic move coming up next weekend, which isn’t so far from where I am now, but I’m torn about leaving the area of Brooklyn that I’ve been living in for 3 years. Plus the whole process of packing, hiring movers and unpacking/reorganizing is a lot to take in. But hopefully when I’m settled I’ll be happy =)
Courtney
giiiiiirlll, I would let you vent all you want. Moving is tough! Packing makes me go craaaaazy! Hopefully you get settled in easily!

I just want to say you are looking freakin’ fantastic! I swear I read the post… but I kept scrolling back up to your photo because you look so great! I’m totally impressed!
Courtney
Aw, thanks!! I am making progress and so proud of it. Glad I’m not the only one who notices!
Nancy

Courtney

We don’t have too much clutter. Other than books and magazines. My MIL is a hoarder so my husband is the exact opposite. I often catch him throwing away things we are still using. Or worse, I don’t catch him and we have to replace it.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that work is stressing me out. I want to scream but once things calm down I’ll be bored. Is there not a middle ground?
Courtney
I don’t think there is middle ground, at least I’ve never been able to find it. I’m either overworked or bored as well lol
Carli
Oh, and your daughter cracks me up. I love little princesses like that. Mine think the same thing about my clothes.
Courtney
She is a hoot! They speak the truth, don’t they?!

gah – i hate clutter too. I’ve been going through closets at our house too. I get on a cleaning frenzy and I don’t stop. My hubby is such a pack rat and it drives him nuts. LOL.
p.s. the pumpkin coffee sounds delicious!
Erica

Courtney
