Run - don't walk! - to your nearest Dollar Store for these cute little buckets.  I mean, seriously, how adorable are they?  I picked up two which I plan on using on our porch or patio this spring. And in other news, for some reasons your comments are not coming through on Blogger.  I've been trying to figure out what the issue is to no avail.  Until then, feel free to leave a comment on...

Have you seen Yoplait's new Oui Yogurts at your local supermarket?!  I was drawn to the glass jars they are being sold in and since I've been on a health kick, I picked up two of their "French-style" yogurts.

Ever feel like your front door is missing a little something-something?!  Once our Christmas decorations came down, I was struck by how boring our front door looked. I got a dose of inspiration when trolling Instagram one day and saw this adorable hello sign.  It's from Etsy Seller LittleTouchofHeaven1.  It's a die-cut piece of wood that came unpainted.  No problem for me!  Once it arrived, I gave it a few coats of black spray paint...
