Most of our leftover paint is in big, 5-gallon buckets which is a big pain if you just want a little for a touch-up. We’ve been cleaning out the garage, and when we brought the paint in, I poured some of each color into a mason jar.

We are ready for landscaping! We just hydro-seeded the lawn yesterday, got some rock and the trampoline up over the weekend and we’re going to do a little at a time. The quotes we got for full landscaping were between $30-50,000 and after building the house that made us choke a little (a lot). Just another tip when you’re building -- don’t forget outside costs! We paid to have the sprinklers installed and are going to tackle the rest bit by bit. We would love to get some trees in this fall, but we’ll see what the budget looks like. I’ve been trying to take advantage of end of season sales, and collecting pictures for ideas. I love clean, simple, not too much going on landscaping, and as you can see from the pictures: boxwoods.

I’m trying to slowly make it around to the kids’ rooms to see what can help them get their rooms in order. Hailey didn’t have anything to hang hoodies, bags, belts, etc. so we came up with a quick, easy solution for behind the door -- under $10!
