First Project, Check!

Ok, this project really wasn't anything special and I am sure to all you major do it yourselfers, its like, huh?? But you have to realize I am not a great decorator and so its something I've never done before!!

We had our pictures done not too long ago and I wanted to display them but could really afford to buy all new frames. I have never had a picture wall, and I always wanted one! I thought of all kinds of ways to display them, but it seemed like it was going to cost money not matter what, so there they sat, all those pictures and no where to go. I also had a stack of picture frames that didn't match anything. I didn't really have a place for them either, so they were literally in a stack on my dresser for about a month. I was reading a woman's blog who says she loves frames on a wall, of all different sizes and in no particular design, and I though hmm... Then I remembered I had half a can of unused black spray paint and thought, why not just spray paint all my frames and hang up them up?

I had a large wall with the hideous black squares that were designed to be hung closer together that I spread apart, trying to take up the space. I took those down and put the pictures up...voila!! I have more frames but need to get more pictures printed, so its not completely finished, but its a good start and way better than before.

I have vowed to start doing more projects around the house. I want to start off small, just do 2 projects and each can only cost $10. They don't have to be big, just a noticeable change. I can't do a whole lot with paint and permanent adjustments because we live in an apartment, but I can make it feel more like a home. Plus, I enjoy it!!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
