My Other Heavy Trash Score: Drawers!
When I picked up the kids art easel, I also found a set of double drawers {Closetmaid type} in front of that same house and picked it up!

Lilleigh’s First Birthday Fiesta!
Saturday was Lilleigh’s first birthday party! Fiesta, to be exact. And a fiesta it was!

Heavy Trash Chalkboard Clean-up!
You all may remember that children’s easel I picked up from the curb on our recent walk. The people had set it out for heavy trash! Crazy to me because it was in such great condition! One side of the easel was a blue chalkboard in decent condition. Though there are a few marker strokes [...]

Menu Planning for the Week of 1/29/12
The last few days have been a little rough around here! On Tuesday Lilleigh was cranky all day… which made me cranky. {Or perhaps it was the other way around? Viscous cycle.} We couldn’t seem to get it together. And to top off the day, she spent a half hour crying before bed, which made [...]
