New Guest In My Kitchen

I am a little bit aggravated with Blogger today. I went to my sister's blog to read it and noticed my blog on her followers's list, with some weird FW: title and a picture. SO - let me tell you how I blog. I blog using my phone. I actually send the pictures in an email from my phone to my blog and then I add the words in afterwards. You can actually set the settings to post immediately or to save as a draft. I think I messed around with it yesterday and told it to post the pictures I send immediately. Anyway, long story short, I hope you all saw the cute chalkboard paint project from yesterday!

I do have another project to show you today. Remember this lovely item that was a fail??

Well, I had two of these same pieces. One of them became this:

...and went on my photo wall. The other I had to figure out what to do with. I wanted to hang it length wise above my living room window but the back didn't have a hanging bracket that would let it hang that way and I wasn't about to go get one. I have another idea for that space now. So, I decided that I would use it for something else....

My kitchen!!

I got the idea of "EAT" from Thrify Decor Chick and thought I could modify just a little bit.

I wanted the contrast of the Cappucino against the white wall in my kitchen so I decided to use the white spray paint to write EAT in white letters. I was not in the mood to go get anything other than what I had, so I decided to use tape and the white spray paint I already had.

I just wrote some letters. They absolutely are not perfect, but I figured they'd be up high so they didn't have to be.

I taped them off....

Spray painted the white....

And voila!! I think it goes rather well, don't you?

I never realized how close EAT is to FAT. Ha ha!!!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best. So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System. This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me. "$61,000" she said. I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

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...
