Well I had been looking for a way to store my son's large wooden puzzles with handles etc. They have a few on the market but they don't have ones big enough for some of his jumbo puzzles. My mom suggested using boxes and I remembered having extra FedEx boxes at the office that we don't use b/c we switched shipping companies. I used my new cold heat cordless glue gun (dh gave me for my birthday) to glue the boxes together. I folded the flaps inside the box to give it more structure. Here is how his puzzle shelf turned out I'm soo please and it fits all the puzzles just right:

I feel really blessed with all I accomplished yesterday while at home with ds. Grandma took him to the chiropractor in the morning which allowed me to work on the dishes and toys then when he got back it was time for his nap so I got a couple more hours to finish putting away straggling holiday decorations and repack our holiday lights adding in the new ones we purchased this year. They're all ready to be put out in the shed this weekend. I got the file cabinet in the kitchen and am starting to plan out the kitchen desk. I really want to get the final design done this weekend and get the supplies/order the counter monday. We need to get that finished in order to get my organizer back over here so we can finish up the filing which had been moved to the garage for the holidays.

My friend Sarah and I are going to the Container Store on Saturday so I can pick up some more containers for storage of toys and stuff. Ack!! I definitely have spent alot of money on stuff after the holidays this year. I found some great toy deals for ds's birthday and even next xmas.

I'm off to work today and I'm confident that I will be able to focus on work and not what I need to do at home, which is what usually happens then when i'm at home i'm all concerned with what i need to accomplish at work...ARGHH what a cycle. I can usually do good at work when I know i'm in a good place at home and haven't left anything undone and the house isn't a complete disaster.

Anywhoo...hugs everyone!!!

Well it is more like awesome news!! The truck has sold!!!! We're soo blessed and thankful for God finding us the right buyer for the truck. We now have the $$ in the bank not in the driveway. We're happy to get moving forward on taking care of other needs and wants.

Thanks for believing with us!!!

My sister has been doing coupons lately and getting tons of stuff free which has been a big benefit to our family and friends. So she had a bunch of coupons for huggies products so we went shopping. Had to do a few transactions at a couple different stores but all of the items in this picture were free!!! Yippie...that really helps our budget & pocket book.

Not sure if this is surprising or not...I saw this on my friend Jane's Facebook profile.

What Kind of Drink Are You?
	You are a Juice Box. Some say you're no fun, but you know better than to waste your time drinking. Not only does alcohol cut down on time better spent being productive, studies show it can have an adverse effect on your long-term health. You have plenty of friends, but you don't get invited to the coolest parties. Sometimes you might wish you weren't so different, but other times you consider yourself better than the rest.

Well happy new year to all!!! I enjoyed my day off working on DS's play table. I got the holes filled, primed it and put one coat of semi-gloss on it. Still looks like it needs minimum of one more coat of paint...but i'm really thinking it will be 2 coats.

Jack still loves the table alot...he goes straight to it with his cars and little people. We got out his little people airport and he played with it for atleast an hour.

I'll take more pictures once I finish painting.
