Tip of the day

If you need to wrap the cookies you made for the teachers who taught your children, but you have no time or energy left in your day to run to the store and buy the fancy, clear bags made for the job. Just do what I did and improvise. You'll be happy you did.


Take a clear storage bag and hack off the top.


See. Works perfectly. I don't think their teachers will ever know that I was being lazy and took the easy way out, do you? I hope the extra large GLAD across the top doesn't give it away. Haha. Maybe I should go back now and cut it off? Okay, you talked me into it; I think I will:)




All packaged and ready to go out to the co-op teachers who loved on and taught my children this year. What a special group of ladies. I couldn't have done it without them.

Before and After

My personal shopper, Chani, went to the thrift store, spotted a mirror perfect for my bedroom, sent a picture text to confirm my interest in spending $24.98 for said mirror, and delivered it to my home all within a few short hours. Score. I could get used to shopping this way. 


The mirror was a tacky shade of metallic gold, but the shape is just right, don't ya think?


Next day, feeling cooped up and needing out, I decided to take a shopping trip of my own to see what treasures I could find.



I came home with two picture frames for the bargain price of $.75 each. One to replace the frame on my picture wall that has already crashed to the ground and another to paint and have on standby for when the next one falls. Because we all know it's bound to happen eventually.


I also found this neat bottle for $3.98, marked down from $6.98. Not sure why I feel the need to tell you the price, but I do. Maybe y'all enjoy a deal, too?

With the help of a good scrub and a bit of white paint...


 the after



For those of you wondering about the two mirrors I painted dark gray last week~ don't worry. I still have them. Little stays the same for too long around here.


I've fallen in love with this mirror, though. I think I'll keep her.


In other news, we are still "patiently" waiting on little David Bahl to make his grand entrance into the world. Our family nurse is working tonight, so crossing our fingers.
