Happiness is best attained by learning to live each day by itself.
 The worries are mostly about yesterday and tomorrow."

This weekend was my favorite yard sale of the year. It’s a church sale they have twice a year and they have always had good stuff. The line is forever down the street by the time they open at 8:00, it’s well organized, super nice people, and pretty good prices. I found some good junk :)

Two globes, $3 each (I’m collecting them for something kind of cool!) and the bulletin board underneath for $2. I was SO excited to find the navy one.

every year, I have asked guest bloggers and friends to share their thoughts about being a Mom. To be honest, I wasn’t on the ball this year and forgot to ask. Bad Melissa. So here are some of my own thoughts about being a Mom:

* if you start collecting a dollar right when your second baby is born for every time someone tells you that you have your hands full, you will be set for retirement at age 35.

* rice and pasta sweep up so much easier the next morning when they are all dried up.

You’ve seen most of the room as we’ve slowly pieced it together, but here it is all together and we’ll go ahead and add it to the home tour!

This is what it looked like before as we were having the basement finished.

Well hello there! I’ve kind of taken the week off unintentionally, but here I am with a little laundry closet makeover!

Here is what it looked like when we first moved in, and I could just cry over those two tiny boys in the picture that seem so big now. Apparently there was a great deal on snuggle as well! You can read the story of my new washer and dryer here.
