Cute Find!


Isn't this cute? I have been eyeballing it at Costco for a couple of months but didn't want to spend the money. Addy just got a big girl bed and kind of has a hodge podge of furniture. I'm kind of undecided on what direction to go with her room. Anyway, I was in Costco yesterday and saw they had two left and had marked them down pretty significantly but I decided not to get it. Of course all night I was kicking myself and went today and picked it up! What a sight I was trying to load this in my car, it was a bigger box than I had remembered! LOL Its very cute and Addy loves it! The bin is perfect for storing her dolls and and then we'll put her books on the shelves which means I can eliminate two baskets from her closet and give her more space!

What I'm thinking for her room is a white chair rail around the room and do a light shade of pink on the top and then a stripe pattern on the bottom with the same pink and a shade or two of a darker pink. We did stripes in Meghan's room in our last house and it was my favorite! Brent's really good at it thank goodness! :) I am looking for a antique looking white headboard for her too-kind of shabby chic. Now all we need are time and paint!

Smoothies!



We love smoothies in our house! My kids are fruit fiends but not neccessarily fans of veggies so I stuff as many as I can in smoothies! My favorite is banana, pineapple (thank you Costco for your cheap pineapples!) and strawberry! I throw as much spinach in as I can squeeze and some cooked carrots! My kids suck it up and let's be honest, I can always use more veggies as well! I just picked some fresh blackberries from the empty lot next door and froze a bunch for future smoothies!
