Blog Inbox

Let me just say this.. I love reading all your blogs, I really do. BUT it is a lot of clicking from my blog to yours, back to my blog to someone else, back to mine.. so on and so forth, until I have caught up with all your latest activities. Not to mention, sometimes I notice on Twitter or Facebook that you guys tell me you updated your blog, so I go to mine and it tells me it is still on your previous post. Therefore, it results in me not being the faithful, up to date blog follower of yours that I want to be. In addition, this delay hold up really messes with my OCDness that I fight with constantly throughout the day.

Until yesterday. Goodness gracious!! Maybe I have been living under a rock or something, but had no idea Google Reader existed. -- OK, that is a white lie.. I did.. I just didn't know how to work it. After a very helpful blog post by Mrs. Jones.. my google reader was up and running, and the obsession level is out of control. I love it. It is the most organized way to stay caught up with all the blogs I follow. Its like a blog inbox.. It reminds me very much of GMail and is literally, fabulous. I'm addicted.

If you read as many blogs a day as I do.. please, save your pointer finger and/or your mouse and do some looking into Google Reader. You can thank me later!

Happy Sunday!!!

Heaven paper bounded

For those of you that know me the slightest bit know that I'm all about cleanliness, organization, a plan, a purpose, definitely some order, and certainly a manageable space. I'm a firm believer that you can get more accomplished when you know right where things are and if you have easy access to things. I'm the girl with a colored coded closet, objects all faced in the same direction (ex: pens and markers), things that are carried to the car go out of the car, so on and so forth. Think I'm nuts? That's OK, it drives my loved ones crazy too. I've been like this my entire life! Its second nature to think and be this way. And I love it!

Anyway.. I am always looking for a great new find and inspirational ideas about how to make things better. Magazines have definitely always been my go to place. Needless to say, I thought I was loving life with "Organization" and "Storage" (which can be picked up at your local magazine stand, and highly recommended), until I found this...

Fabulous find "Real Simple" is. My OCD cousin (guess it runs in the family) couldn't believe I have never discovered this magazine before now. Guess it was because I didn't think it was possible to top my two trusties.

But I was wrong, because I continued looking and...

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! Heaven on earth paper bounded. I saw the glow and heard the "AWWWWWWW" when I first set my eyes on this beauty.

Let me put it in layman's terms. I felt as if I just met someone that I had interest in. I can compare each turn of the page with a new conversation that keeps my interest and making me return for more. I'm in love. Every time I look at this simple book it gets better and better.

You might think I'm crazy. And that is OK. Its little things like this that are very much appreciated by me. I dare you to look at it next time you are standing in the check out line. You'll see.

Happy Organization!

Always,

Kenlie

Riffraff is ready for RUSH!!

Life since the beach has been very.... creative! As you know my great sweet little friend Kirsten owns a local interior store here in Fayetteville. Merchandise she sales in one of a kind, full of bright colors, funky styles, and best of all, created by local artists around the area. If you haven't stopped in at Riffraff, shame on you, but you better go!! I promise you will fall in L-O-V-E! If you follow Kirsten or Riffraff you know I joined her team a few months ago to help her with just about anything that needs to be done. Or I try to anyway. Our mission here lately is operation RUSH! Oh yes, you got it right! University of Arkansas sorority recruitment begins this week and oh is Riffraff ever so ready!! Here is why life has been so creative lately...

You take one of these...

Add some of this with a spice of idea...

And TA-DA!!! You get this...

And the Greek display looks fabulous!!!...

Pretty cute huh? So.. If you, your sister, best friend, cousin, neighbor, daughter, loved one, aunt, old elementary friend, girlfriend.. ANY FEMALE, is going through rush. Go to Riffraff!! All of the greek stuff is oh so cute, and Riffraff would love to help you find that perfect unique gift for anyone!

On the same note, if you don't know anyone going through rush, remember Riffraff is an interior store, THEREFORE, it has GrEaT dorm room stuff as well.

So here is the deal.. Go to Riffraff for your one shop stop for all greek and dorm room stuff!

* * * * *

So that's what I've been up to lately. 9AM-4AM working on fun store stuff with my best pal Kirsten. We've made quite the memories and had lots of laughs, we have realized we have a unique talent in packing the car, we are waiting on our Thank You note from Sonic for keeping them in business, and in return, we should probably write them one for helping keep us awake. But don't worry.. its not stopping here. Our fun ideas and unique creations only are going to get better! So fun!!
