What's new?

I've gotten some new stuff in the last few months. I'm mostly posting this for my college girl who is out of state. I remember her saying when she was in Kindergarten, "Don't do anything fun without me." So Nicole this is for you...now you know what's new.

We love Quesadilla's at our house. This was on sale and I thought I'd try it since everyone loves them. But now I'm second guessing my decision. Does anyone have this and do you like it?


New master bedroom sheets! They were on sale too. I really do have too much red/burgandy but I can't help it...


I found this at "Real Deals." (thanks Joanna!) All that stuff you find doing laundry now has a place to go.


I have been looking and looking for some kind of centerpiece to go on the coffee table. It had to be toddler friendly and meaningful. I had a hard time finding something I liked until I saw this sign. I like seeing it as I come downstairs every morning. It reminds me where my focus should be. And...it's a teaching tool. Tyler has learned the letters and sounds out the word. He pretends to read it, wouldn't it be a great first word to read?


I liked the family sign so much that I got this one too. Heather helped me find its new home on the stair landing next to the flowers.


Okay, so my new favorite word is family. These were in mismatched frames and I'm slowly switching over to black. The one on the left is our family motto and on the right is the family proclamation.


This is from Christmas. (thanks Hartman family!) When we were putting away Christmas boxes Heather wanted to keep this sign out all year. It's in our kitchen right above the stove. It's amazing that when I see it I really feel more peaceful and hopefully hubby and the kids do too. The power of positive thinking! I think that's why I like quotes so much.


This light my hubby bought at Home Depot. He was reading one day and discovered that this corner doesn't get enough light. So...new light.
