kitchen/living room additions

A few weeks ago Peter installed our under cabinet lighting. We love it and what a difference lighting can make! Last weekend I got the itch to start some spring cleaning. The big thing around here is selling stuff you don't want on community facebook pages and a page called 425 mom shop n swap. So I thought, hey there is some stuff I want to get rid of that has some value. So I started posted away... people were buying it within minutes and once the cash was in my hand, I was hooked. What could I sell next, how much could I make? So in one weekend I had raked in $200 and finally felt like I could make the leap and buy the bar stools I had wanted since we remodeled the kitchen and the ladder shelf we wanted to finally complete our living room. It's all starting to come together and I love the pops of color in my very "WHITE" decor/house/kitchen. Let me know what you think!

valentine's exchange

This year at school Isaac got to participate in his first Valentine's exchange. OK but let's face it I was way more excited about this as he was but that's the norm around here! Isaac did help make his cards but I enjoyed doing most of the work one one snowy Sunday. We used a toilet paper roll for the heart and a potato to cut out another heart shape. In school Isaac did enjoy putting his cards in his classmates Valentines bag but of course the treats he received were his favorite part. Peter and I didn't really celebrate Valentine's out since we had celebrated my birthday two days prior. But I did wake up to flowers from Peter and I ordered him a special Valentine's box made in Woodinville of amazing marshmallows, chocolate cookies, salted caramels, and raspberry cheesecake in a jar. The best part was the box was hand delivered by the baker herself to my doorstep! Overall we had a great Valentine's Day!
