Food Frenzy Friday (Creamy Guacamole)

Today I am sharing with you an all time favorite at our house.  If you love guacamole, you will love this.  It is super EASY and super DELICIOUS!  
The recipe calls for 2-3 (I use 3) avocados, red onion (I use about a TBLS.), 1 vine ripe tomato, 1 garlic clove, 1tsp (or more depending on how spicy you want it) jalapeno, 1 TBLS. lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.

Directions:
Mash avocados, stir in the lime juice, and the
      salt, and pepper until it has a creamy consistency.
Mince garlic clove.
Finely chop jalapeno and onion.
Seed and dice the tomato.
Fold together all ingredients. 
Then enjoy with tortilla chips!

Bathroom Rules Sign

We recently upgraded a few things in our bathroom such as the shower curtain, color scheme and sink, which I LOVE because it has drawers (our last sink was a pedestal sink). I have always wanted to get rid of my guest towel and use the guest paper towels ~ because I'm a sanitary freak ~ and this new sink allowed me to do that.
 
What else it allowed me to do was hang a cute bathroom rules sign on the hook where the towel used to be...

Here is my bathroom rules sign

I started by going online to find cute wording from other bathroom rule signs and this one I chose seemed to fit our family the best.  So, I typed it up on Word and added a cute clip art I also found online.  Then I found a frame I already had and began creating.
 
In order to match the colors in my bathroom, I spray painted the frame using Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover spray paint ~ my go-to brand!
 
Once it dried, I sanded it down a little bit to give it a distressed look.

Then I put it all together and added some ribbon I had to hang it and ta-da...a new bathroom rules sign that cost me zero dollars!!!
 
P.S. Here is my new shower curtain...yellow, white & tan!  I love the colors!!
