Easy and Delicious Blender Salsa

Hey guys! In case you didn't have a chance to hope over to All Things Thrifty to see my guest post last week, I just have to share it again here because it's one of my best kept secrets.. homemade blender salsa!

We all know that cooking at home is typically way more cost effective than eating out. The trouble is, I am a realist enough to know that with two babies in the house made from scratch isn't going to happen all the time. So, I have totally perfected the art of making things "semi-homemade" like this amazing salsa.

I kid you not I get asked for this recipe all the time, and that is before people know how easy it is. It tastes so garden fresh and it takes literally 5 minutes and barely any cleanup. Can I get a "woot, woot?"

Oh yes! I felt it was time for another cheap summer skirts post. I love skirts in the summer, and now that I live in a place that is basically a tropical climate, (read: it's HOT) I'm going to be living in long skirts and tees. No layering for me til at least October or November. Here are my faves. They're all pretty and of course nice to the pocketbook! I am totally loving the leopard maxi and the purple tulip skirt. Which one is your fave?

Earlier this week we decided to take a spur of the moment weekend trip to NYC! We lived there for 3 months when Bryce was training for his first job, and we love it there. Plus my brother and sister in law live there and we love getting to see them since it's not nearly as frequent as we'd like. The little ones are living it up at their grandparents houses and we miss them a ton but they don't miss us at all!

If you have upcoming vacations (or just want to take one but don't have anything in the works yet) make sure you check our post: How to Vacation on a Budget.

I don't know if it is spring fever or what but lately I want to change/redecorate/reorganize every single space in my house. I am trying to keep a handle on things but I really want to try my hand at making this chandelier. I just can't decide what room needs it...

As part of my spring cleaning fever I have been tossing around the idea of making our guest room a playroom/guest room. It seems silly to have a room dedicated to guests when they are only here a few weeks out of the year if that. However, I know a playroom would drive me nuts-o if it was just a big giant mess of crap. So I thought this post was good inspiration.
