Michelle’s review of her kitchen counters

For my little Under $10 Under 1 Hour project today, I made a little inspiration board.

My church publishes a magazine for youth called the New Era – it’s also online. I love to read it and every month they have the best inspirational posters and cards:

Happy planting and planning!

I have been trying to come up with a good solution for LEGO storage. My boys love them, but there are SO many darn little pieces, a pain to put away,  a step on them in the middle of the night in your bare feet and you feel like breathing destructive, incinerating dragon breath every last one.

But I love them because they aren’t tv, the ipad, or technology. Girls and boys love them. They use their brains and imaginations to create and for that reason alone we are still friends.

When this baby showed up for $10 on our local online classifieds late one night (like Craigslist, but here they call it ksl classifieds) I screamed and texted as fast as my little fingers could telling her I could bring cash and come first thing in the morning and made it sound like I was as harmless and kind as a mom could be so that she would trust coming to her house. (do you do that when you are trying to score something on Craigslist?) And I got it!! It seemed like a perfect thing to organize and corral all of those LEGOS.
