Snow Day, Part 3

You know you're a redneck when . . . okay, so we didn't have a sled but we did have a shovel and a towel. The lil man enjoyed every minute of it. He kept saying "more, slide, more, slide".

Snow Day, Part 2

Can anyone identify these prints? Whatever it was, it headed underneath my car. Should I be scared?

Ice Day, Snow Day

It's an icy, snowy day and I'm loving it. Unfortunately, I work from home so I don't have the weather excuse for not making it into the office.

No Sew Curtains

I cannot sew; my sister took all of those genes in the family. So I rely on glue, tape, whatever I can think of. Shannon recently blogged about the new curtains for her baby's nursery. I've been meaning to hem Harrison's drapes for months but keep putting it off. Tonight I ironed the hem with Stitch Witchery and after a few tests I perfected it. I put a damp washcloth over the fabric and pressed the iron for 10 seconds on each side. My material is REALLY thick (perfect for blocking daylight during naps) so the damper the washcloth the better.

Huge Discount

Just days before the neighborhood grocery store is closing for a remodel, they marked everything to 75% off! Crazy huh? I matched that with coupons and was able to get shampoo, cough drops, bathroom cleaner and mascara for free! My percentage savings was 77%!

Stocking Up

So I've read and listened to podcasts on coupons and savings, and they all say stock up when things are on sale. Our grocery store is closing for 9 months for remodeling and they're having 25% off the entire inventory. Here's my stock pile.

I need to explain something . . . Ryan is addicted to salsa hence the numerous cans of Rotel and Hunt's. One can Hot Rotel, one can Hunt's Tomato Sauce, one blender = one happy camper.

It's Done

After two coats of paint, the project is complete and I couldn't be happier. The baskets are ones I've had since H was born. I think I'll probably replace with a medium toned wicker baskets with liners and stack books on the side. It's the perfect height for H to reach in the drawers and grab the toys from the top. Not too bad for under $60!
