Project: Spice Rack





So I have a couple of projects I am working on right now; All of which are kitchen related of course because I should have been born in the 40’s and am OBSESSED with any and all things kitchen.
Anyways this one project is driving me crazy. I am trying to create the most perfect country chic spice rack and wanted to use mini mason jars. I have a cabinet that’s perfect to fit little storage racks for spices because it is right in between the stove and pantry. But Also, I think about maybe having it displayed out of the cabinet or pantry because I use spices EVERY night and on weekends more! So maybe it would be nicer to have it right out in the open for me to access and not have to open doors and things all the time. {Plus I am not so great at putting things away in a timely manor which is why i currently have a hodge-podge of spices all cluttered around my stove.} Unfortunately though, if I want mini mason jars I have only one option...

OR I could go another route which in my opinion I think is just as adorable … mini apothecary jars :-) AND there are so many different styles!

I came across these sweet babies while looking for favor ideas for my wedding forever ago and have always loved them and then came across them again looking for ideas for this projects and I love them! They are just so much money {$2 a jar??? ya right} I have been trying to find a wholesaler for them because i don't want the dumb labels and plan on making my own for each one for the spices anyways.


Oooo and look big ones too for Flour and Sugar! {Though I would want them in white}

Also as I was looking for small spice jars I came across these fabulous BIG jar better for holding flour, sugar, rice and who knows what else! {Source} {Source} {Source}
Hahah I know jar overload right?!?! I just love them all! I want to have lots of different shapes and sizes because I just love the way they look AND you don’t have to hide them away cause they look FANTASTIC!!!

Anyways, any and all feed back would be awesome and if you have another idea you think would be better please share :-)

Random Emails to My Husband

There is nothing I love more than sending love notes to my hubby. I call them love notes but really they are just crazy ramblings in which to annoy and bother him at work. Now some might think that it is absurd how much I email my husband while at work BUT in my defense I am very ADHD and if i do not say something when I am in the "now" it goes POOF and is gone and mostly like will never remember; thus, the emails .... here are just some from today.

Hi love,
welcome to work on Saturday the worst day EVER :)
I hope you have a fantastic day cause I LOVE you!
I think we should buy like 4 lobsters and OD on buttery lobster flesh tonight. YAY!

Dearest P Murph,
Brandi and Paul are having a little shin-dig at their place to night. I would very much like us to attend because I need some socializing. Otherwise I might become an unscocialized, ill-behaved MeggyLou and start acting poorly in public and being crazy around the house and might even start biting. And you KNOW that would be bad because if I snap at a person they could lock me up and maybe even … {gulp} give me the eternal sleep :-o

To whom it may concern,
I am in need of a payment method so I may go purchase preventative baby control (PBC). If a payment method is not received by 5:00pm today than the chance of a baby increases dramatically.
Thank you for your time.
