Just a little bathroom project....

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


I had no place to put three towels in the kids bathroom. I HATE towels on the floor and thrown over the shower curtain (I mean, to stay their permanently). This is kind of odd, considering I don't mind loads of laundry all over the house. I know. Ironic. Anyway, I have been meaning to do something cute about this in the kids bathroom for a while but just never got around to it. Well, last night, I had ENOUGH!!! Although this was just a quick little project that will probably change again, it works for now and it is actually kind of cute!

The kids' bathroom is lots of bright colors, yellow, green, blue, purple, etc. You can see a little from the above picture. So I took 3 colors of card stock and taped them off.

I found 3 small hooks in Jason's hardware collection and put them directly in the wall, at kids height.

I spray painted the untaped areas on the cardstock with chalkboard paint (the uses for this stuff is endless, truly). You will also notice this particular Pizza Hut box shows up in a lot of spray paint pictures. It actually works pretty well!

Once it dried, I had Jordan and Soph write their names.

Voila! The chalkboard did bleed a bit under the tape, so I might redo them a little more carefully next time to make it more perfected, but it works for now. It is behind their door so I am not too concerned. I am just glad that now, they have a place to hang their towels!

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!...

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...

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
