Saturday Morning Coffee Date #15

June 5, 2021 · In: Saturday Morning Coffee Date

Well, we gave Nigel his Father’s Day gift on Memorial Day. Yes, I know it’s way early, but we had a good reason.

That reason is…we just couldn’t hide it for a month.

We got him a new grill, and the story of how we got it for him is pretty hilarious, and how we “attempted” to hide it is even more ridiculous. I’ll share more about that when we get closer to Father’s Day, because it’s totally worthy of its own blog post or Instagram Live video.

But long story short, he’s got a new grill and I’m ready for him to start using it.

I don’t eat much meat, so if you’ve got some good veggie recipes for grilling, please send them my way so I can pass them on to my personal chef. Aka, my husband.

Random Thoughts This Saturday Morning

So apparently black-bottomed pools are trending, and they are creepy looking.

Last weekend we tried buffalo cauliflower bites from a new cookbook. It was good, but weird.

Since when is cauliflower a vegan replacement for buffalo wings?

I tried parting my hair in the middle yesterday…I won’t do that again.

Amazon announced Prime Day is June 21-22. Will you be shopping?

We rented Cruella on Disney Plus. I liked it a lot, and the “skinned Dalmatian” issue has been revised. Whew!

Happy Pride Month to all families and humans who celebrate!

New On The Blog

After my big zombie outbreak of Poison Oak, I got a ton of advice and read a lot of articles about getting urushiol oil out of clothes, so I wrote this post to share the methods that actually worked to wash my poison ivy/oak contaminated clothes.

    Summer plans = soak it all in before my first starts his first school year (I need a Kindergarten checklist/binder kit lol). Also, make the backyard more functional and not just a huge patch of grass, bugs, and dog poop.

    Thoughts on the black pool trend:
    1. I love black…
    2. but, HELL NAH!
    3. How does one clean it without missing the little things?
    4. I have a fear of deep water from not being able to SEE the bottom or what lies beneath……………..no. just…..no.

      Such a great list of summer plans! And you should get one of those claw-like poop scoopers. Your kids will think it’s fun to pick up poop for you. haha! And I feel the same way about not being able to see the bottom of the pool. Scary!!! (And the back to school binder kit is coming next month! Your wish is my command!)

5 Things You Never Knew About Me: 1. When Nigel a 5 Things You Never Knew About Me:
1. When Nigel and I started dating, I had a pet tarantula and a ball python, and both were in my small apartment bedroom next to my bed.
2. I started my blog in 2014 under the name In The New House. It didn’t change to Organized-ish until 2018.
3. I didn’t plan on becoming a professional organizer at all. A blog reader reached out and asked for help and people just kept asking after that.
4. I was chosen to share a holiday craft idea with @marthastewart on SiriusXM radio and she sent me a gorgeous wreath as a thank you.
5. I have a large collection of crystals and you can find at least one in almost every room photo I share here and on the blog. It’s like a never ending Easter Egg hunt. 😁
