House Update

Well, after an intense weekend (and some great help from Everett!) we now have a laundry room. A laundry room in its most rudimentary form but a laundry room nonetheless! After about a week of not being able to wash clothes I am slowly starting to work through my pile of clothes! And last but not least - in addition to the W&D I also now have (drumroll please) a light! This has been most helpful. It sure is nice to have a handy husband.

Good ideas!

I recently found a fun blog through an email list that I'm on and wanted to share it with you! http://meckmom.blogspot.com/

She has some nice ideas about keeping things neat and tidy - heaven knows I'm in need of that! I am going to try out her "no dresser in the kids' room" idea tonight. (My mom asked a good question - these drawers go right into the closet in the kids' room. They don't use all of their closet space anyway, so if you haven't already appropriated that space this is a great use for it). I just bought some plastic drawers to store Nathan's stuff in. I figured I'd start with him since the poor kid doesn't have a dresser anyway so there's nothing to get rid of! Hey - Ashlyn didn't get one until she was 2, why should Nathan? :)
