Bathroom remodel – getting really close …

I love the new blue/green color. Beats the old sage green that was thin in so many spots and had a lot of streaking.

Oh and my pretty new light fixture is up. I just love it. Previously there was a countryish, vine-covered looking fixture that was just NOT our taste.

It should be all done when I get home. So happy we found the nicest couple – a man and a wife who have a lot of experience doing this work for us. They got rid of all the “nail bumps” in our wall, the one million giant holes, the cracked caulking in the corners, solved the dilemna of the drawers that wouldn’t open, and the outlet that wouldn’t work, the electrical box that wasn’t installed …

Can’t wait to see it all together. Befores and afters will come soon.

My wonderful new discovery: PB2

Have you heard of this before? If you have I may be mad at you for not sharing it with me. If you haven’t, read this description:

Superior quality peanuts are first slow roasted then pressed to remove the fat and oil. The result is an exquisitely natural roasted peanut butter flavor that’s deliciously rich in taste, easy to enjoy and wonderfully healthy.

I’m thinking of mixing it with yogurt, ice and chocolate sauce for a delicious smoothie. Or leave the chocolate out and use the Chocolate PB2. Yes, they make that too.

It will all be mine as soon as I figure out another $20 in items I need to make the shipping free from Amazon.

Sick baby and other random moments

I haven’t felt like blogging much lately, but here’s a little look back at the past week.

Eva’s been on and off sick …

She slept with us three nights in a row because she had such bad coughing spells she would throw up. Poor baby.

She and her sister bonded with their comfy slippers and special suckers for sore throats.

Over the weekend we ate Smoky Bones where we had donuts dipped in chocolate sauce for dessert. Eva went directly for the chocolate. She really is my daughter.

Ella played dress-up with a napkin at Olive Garden. Seems like dining out with them was pretty good this week.

We bought a vanity and some other supplies for our bathroom we are fixing up … hope to complete our purchases this weekend and get this renovation going. Woo hoo!

Good deal

Lands End is marking a lot of stuff down right now so I ordered Ella’s winter coat for next year. Only $19.99 right now and free shipping. You can’t beat that for a good winter coat. It has already arrived and it looks very nice. Did you know all their children’s coats have threading in the sleeve that you can remove to extend the sleeve and inch and a half? Apparently if they have a growth spurt or you want the coat to last two years, this will do the trick.

Ella picked pink, although I was really fond of the eggplant color.

I do agree with some of the reviewers that the sleeves are kinda slim though. I think it will work just fine though.
