I'm planning to bake something scrumptious for the week ahead just because.
Hope you have a wonderful week.
Hugs, Deb =^..^=x5
I agree! We should all wake up feeling grateful and energetic about this fresh start to a brand new week! Monday's for me are productive and I love the feeling of an unfolded week ahead.
Can't wait to see your ideas turned into fabulousness. How exciting!
Gorgeous blog!

Monday starts the M.O.O.D. of the week...
If it's lousy it takes too long to get back on track for the weekend...i agree with you Koralee...make Monday fabulicious and the rest of the days will follow :D
((((((HUGS))))))

I love Mondays too! It feels so good to have a whole fresh new week ahead, and to make some lovely plans!
Have a fabulous new week!
I am with you Koralee, from now on I am calling mine "Mighty Monday" and it will be my special day for planning projects, gathering the supplies and getting it started....Yah

meeting a girlfriend for the matinee of Eclipse then off to take advantage of 25% of mondays at the local thrift stores. Now there's a reason to love mondays!
I'm on a mission to get my "prop house" organized and nothing will stop me... not even a Monday :)
I've missed you, it's nice to be back in your beautiful world.

Happy Monday Koralee... Mondays are chore days here- so sometimes I do dread them but when the chores are all completed, I am happy as can be :-]
I love Mondays, getting everything back on track, returning in the flow of the daily routine. Good for me, good for the children, good for everyone. On the other hand I also love Mondays during vacation time, for not having to look at the clock and do what we like, when we feel to!
Have a happy happy Monday, sweet friend. xxxx
you know.. this is a wonderful- great- and truthful post... on sunday nights i get sooo sad cause the next day is monday.. you are so right... that's a terrible way to be...
from here on out.. i am gonna look at monday to be a fresh start.. the beginning to a new week that i can make be great by being in a good mood on monday!!!!
I'm gonna read Bluebird Notes and get a check-up from the neck up! Haha! I'm taking care of my home and cooking for my elderly family members...so thankful to still have FIVE of them around the age of 90 :)
Wow. This was a timely post. I just said to my husband..."I wish it was still Sunday". You're right - Mondays can rule! I've got baking to finish up and the sun is popping out again. Koralee, my new name for you is "Sunshine". You really are rather sunshiny...all the time!
I think I like every day of the week. Monday's always feel full of promise to me, like "what will this week unfold?". I think it's exciting. So intrigued about your crazy ideas.
I'm spending my TGIM lunch hour writing notes to all the SWEET friends I encountered this weekend on a trip to my hometown. Sweet memories for me, and fun in the mailbox for them later this week! Thanks for the inspiration! ~jennifer
Ohh! I LOVE Mondays. They're a new start and I'm always invigorated and excited for the surprises of the week.
Can't wait to hear what's happening with you :)

Mondays for me are a new beginning...
I love Mondays as it's my 'shopping day' and I get to go to the supermarket and choose what I'm going to buy and plan meals for the week ahead.I guess I love food too much eh?!
Have a wonderful Monday...and the rest of the week too Koralee.
Bellaboo ;0)
good morning my "SWEET"....
Oh, What a lovely way to start my day. I shall indeed enjoy this day....Hey did I miss the special "Molly Monday Birthday"....Oh No! so sorry ...
H*A*P*P*Y B*E*L*A*T*E*D B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y M*O*L*L*Y
HOPING YOU HAD A MARVELOUS DAY...
Love Rosie
I feel so lucky to (currently) not be locked into a dreading monday schedule! But it's funny how sometimes the grass is always greener over yonder. Because I love the idea of having a regular M-F job lately, doing something I love of course :) Today to celebrate Monday, I'm thinking about things I love--sweets and sweetness being on the list.
Happy SWEET Monday to you!
You are so amazing sweet one...always up, forward, never complaining. Thank you. You and Rosie both are my inspirations north of me!!! BLESS YOU and for this Monday, my new idea is that I am going to change my drapes to a soft white to let in the LIGHT!!! BISOUS, Anita
Hi Koralee!
love this sweet photo!
It's making me smile!
I really don't mind Mondays... especially after a busy, busy weekend!
Saskia said it just about the same way I feel... even though I don't have lil ones at home... it's still fun to start a brand new week!
Hope we get to read about your "Crazy ideas"
I'm sure they'll be SPECTACULAR!
Lots of Smiles from me to YOU!
~Maria
ps. I would also LOVE one of those pink taffy candies!
I am clearing out and cleaning...sometimes a purge of junk is what is needed to make the rest of life more simple and refreshing to live!
Such a good thought here...everyday should be a good day! I am walking..laying out, feels so good...blogging...grooming dogs...planning family gatherings...taking goodies to others...a sweet day indeed! :D
Oh Koralee, it´s so freaking hot here , it´s not possible to do anything... belive it or not...
And I´m still working...
At least I can enjoy the sun after work and in the weekends =), but I wish the rain would come to refresh everything!
I wonder what you are up too...
Can´t wait to see =).
Have a wonderful day!

First time visiting your beautiful and cheery blog!

I am prepping the guest room here on the Cape for my little sister's visit from CA tomorrow! She just turned 18, graduated HS, and will begin her college career at Cal Poly this fall. We have much to celebrate! Yay Monday!
I looooooove surprises and can't wait to see what you are working on. I'm sure it's in classic BlueBird style. It will be a sweet pleasure to see, just like your Salt Water Treats above. Another great picture. Oh, how I want to know what you use to get your words to curl?
Kate-T>G>B>
When I had to go to work...Mondays weren't my favorite. Now that I'm home, I love Mondays. It is like starting with a clean slate every week. Can't wait to see what you are up to. I've missed so much, I'm going to glance back through your older posts, just because I know they will make me smile.
I love the idea of thinking of Mondays as sweet! I will have to be thinking of this as I am working! I hope your Monday is as sweet as you are!
That's a beautiful picture. I usually don't dislike Mondays but I seem to have my days and nights mixed up a bit and have been feeling a bit glum because I missed a good part of the day.
Well, enough of that! Time to enjoy the rest of my Monday!

HI Koralee!
What a sweet post!
Mondays for me could be the start of something new and maybe the end of something else!!
Happy day dear!

O Karolee..having lunch with my husbunny...... that's the sweetest monday of our vacation.......today...................happy week sweetie........love Ria....
I don't mind Mondays as a rule, but today has been an exceptionally frustrating day. Nothing but computer problems at work ... mine has died. I have not been able to blog for days now. :(
Coming over to your adorable picture and sweet thought for today has been the saving grace of this Monday. So thank you!
I always LOVE Monday! Of course I don't have to work :) That helps :) Even though it means "Daddy" goes back to work...we usually have something fun to do on Mondays :)
Can't wait to see what your crazy plans are :)
I work on Monday's but that's ok because I like going to work and I love the people I work with!
Your site makes any Monday brighter! Have a great week!
I love Mondays!! They are the day I sometimes make out my list for the entire week (knowing there is not enough time to complete everything) -- but still I feel accomplished just writing them all down.
I love mondays! A fresh start and a new week.
Happy Monday to you!...I had a wonderful day today because I spent it with my ........SWEET DAUGHTERS!...
...and I saw your BLOG in ROMANTIC HOMES!...congradulations!...
It was/is SWEET!
I never dread mondays.But I have to laugh at your last words "what did you do to make your monday sweet",lol.I spent most of my free time on the computer with Dell removing viruses.How fun huh?lol
What a wonderful Idea, I always drag myself around on Monday morning, hopefully next week will promise myself a long brisk walk, a good cup of coffee - and a few pages of my current book - in perfect silence - that is a blissful way to start the week
thanks for the inspiration xx
Ours has been and gone and it was really just fine...A bit of sewing, a visit to the PCYC with my youngest boy. I actually quite like mondays it's the beginning of things I want to do. Hope yours was great! xo
Hello! I started the day with an intentionally good breakfast - eggs, homemade french bread with jam, fresh apricots from the farmers market, coffee and juice. Mmmm. It makes the day feel a bit more special when I start off with something tastier than a bowl of cereal!
p.s. my first go at this comment was packed type-os, so I'm trying again! :) xo
I taught the dude to count to ten today. It was very sweet!
Cheers to sweet Monday!! People need to seriously rethink this day is so true.
What a SWEET SWEET inspiration you are!
Today hasn't been as SWEET as I would have liked!
But I did do something today I've been meaning to do for weeks!
And as I was creating it...I was jamming on greg's ipod {that I am secretly trying to make my own!}
Can't wait to hear what AMAZING things your'e up to!
I think I will probably be saying:
"hey! I knew HER when!"
Am I right???????????
You are a one in a million-trillion...and I just ADORE that PINK taffy!
xoxoxoxo
HI KORALEE,
I HAD A GREAT MONDAY, WENT DOWN THE SHORE, IT WAS HOT, HOT, HOT.....BUT COOLED OFF AT THE CHINESE BUFFET RESTAURANT, DELICIOUS..RIZZI
Koralee I am a Monday lover from way back. When I worked away from home (which wasn't much with six children)I always had a job I loved, so Mondays were a pleasure. Now that I'm home full time, I love Mondays because it's like a fresh start every week! Mondays is my day to get things in order for the week...and I love to make lists.
hugs
Dearest Koralee, today's post really speak to me and brighten my views on monday! I am really not a huge fan of monday ~ mainly beacuse it marks the end of my blissful weekend and a start of a working week for my day job. But this really turn my monday a lot prettier! Thank you so much! have a lovely merry happy week and love to yoU!

Dear Koralee,
Yes, it seems that a lot of people do not like Mondays.
I think every day is special and I love Mondays and I went out and had a coffee with my sweet daughter.
Have a great week
Hugs
Carolyn
Wish I had visited last night, would have made my Monday a lot sweeter! Such a cute pic! Have a sweet day!
Dear Koralee,

You're right, Koralee. Mondays have gotten a bad name! I'm going to join you in doing something to make my Mondays FUN!
My Monday was not so sweet... I had to go back to work after having 10 days off... :(
