and on the domestic engineering front…
June 16th, 2009 -- Posted in domestic engineering, family, hill to haven, life as a mom, pics, things that make you go LOL | Comments OffWarning: if you leave laundry in the washer for a long time (like, say, if you are busy coughing to death with a killer sore throat and/or stairs are extremely painful to go down and your laundry room is in the basement), they can really develop a disgusting smell. To re-wash or not to re-wash???
We painted the family room at the new house this past weekend. Well, OK the hubby did. But I helped! And my contributions were absolutely essential, I tell you! They must’ve saved him at least 5 minutes of work.
I also put together a little project I am making for Avery’s “jungle” room (in other words, the Diego-themed room that he wants that may still survive as a room decor after the Diego fascination has waned!). Curtain rod + fake plastic ferns ($4) + raffia ($2) + bits of window blinds (free, but only if you happen to have purchased window blinds…) = jungle finials!
