Jordan's Room

So, here is Jordan's room. I will make two disclaimers: 1) Please disregard the "J" with surrounding posters. I am just experimenting with an idea, so I will be changing that very soon. And 2) I was going to paint these white walls and had the paint bought and ready, but decided against it, as we still live in an apartment and I just don't want to deal with that when we move out.


Here is a breakdown of what we got for this room:

Futon: $30
Rug from Ikea: $19.99
Paint for furniture: $15.00
Laudry Basket from Ikea: $1.99
Trash can from Ikea: $1.99
Red bins from Ikea: $1 each
Black comforter from Ikea: $14.99
Total: $85.96!!!!

That's it!

Everything else we already had.


The black thing on the wall is a bulletin board that I painted black, so he has a space to display the things he colors and creates.



The trophy is his soccer trophy from last season. He wanted to keep it at our house, so I am glad we have a spot for it now. 





It was a long time coming, but I am glad it's done!

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...

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