Decor on a Dime

Today The Boss and I made Easter decorations.
It was a lot of fun for him, a little frustrating for me.
We decided on making an easter egg garland.
I just used some kite string, and strung it through the plastic eggs.

I really like how it turned out!
While I was stringing the eggs on, The Boss took great delight in picking up the eggs on the string, and putting it around his neck.
Silly boy, loves necklaces.
 He thought it was the greatest fun ever.
Once I got it untangled for the four thousandth time, I was able to put it up.
It isn't the most professional piece of decor, but
I made it,
and I really like it.
It certainly adds a little something to the room, don't you think?
What are some thrifty ways you decorate?

Oooh I like that a lot! I've been searching for plastic eggs here and I haven't found any. I want to make a wreath with them. I might need to ask my mom to stock up the day after Easter so I can bring them home with me *L*

Awesome job! Great idea! See, you don't need any decorating tips from me! It always seems better when you make it yourself, huh?

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.
