February faves

My favorite goings-on from February.

Best night in (considering all our nights are spent in!): watching the newest Twilight movie with Frank and laughing at the drama and cheesy-ness.

Funniest thing I learned this month: Zach can change the toilet paper roll and he's very pround of it :)

Favorite spot in the house: my rearranged (yes, already!) craft room. It was all set up and definitely neat, and I was starting to get organized. But I realized that the places where furniture and things landed when I unpacked was more about convenience at the time and less about what I actually needed. My computer needed to be in a spot where I have more space to spread out, so that bills, etc. weren't filling up my craft table.

So this new arrangement puts my craft table closer to my supplies and my computer closer to the file cabinet and more space for paperwork. And somehow it feels bigger, too! Next on my wishlist are some kind of desk to replace the computer cart and folding table and a comfy chair...


Favorite grocery items: microwave lentils from Costco (like a chili/soup), topped with a little packet of Wholly Guacamole. And this time I chopped up a couple slices of deli turkey and mixed them in.


Sweetest memories: bedtime stories with Jen, Ben, Maggie, Gabe, and Zach, and shooting the breeze with Abby and Loic on a swing in downtown Greenville. Both weekends were a complete blast :)

January faves

Here are some of my favorite things from the past month :)

Best new TV show: Once Upon A Time. I decided in the fall that I could let this one go. We just don't have time to get addicted to any more shows, blah, blah, blah. But I kept reading about it and seeing commercials, and I gave in. They replayed all the episodes on New Year's Day, and I have to say I love the characters (and the hair/makeup/costumes)...I've been hooked ever since.


Funniest thing we should have seen coming, but didn't: Gabe fits through the cat door in the baby gate. Though, if you read the instructions (like we did for the first time just recently), the gate is not intended for children. Oops. Lesson learned. We just lock the cat door when he starts to mess with it.


Favorite new grocery item: ciabatta rolls. Perfect for fondue and bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches.


Favorite new family outing: the public library.


Favorite spot in the house: by the fireplace. For me, Frank, and apparently Marmalade.
