Homefront

I saw this idea over at makeit-loveit

and decided it would be a perfect way to tell a story on our wall.

10 years of marriage in 5 states

 Cody was born in Utah, Macey in Washington and Mackayla in Oklahoma...just missed the last two:)

Oregon is upside down. Oops. I'll fix that. Next month.

 In Utah my sister-in-law told me about her 'kid drawer' in the kitchen. Did everyone but me know about this?! For those of us with little kids, this is genius. Now they can get their own drinks.

I imagine this would be even more handy with a new baby. 

Last but not least -

Carpet stains.

We have beautiful beige carpet. The person that invented this color of carpet never had children. To instantly clean up the never ending array of things that can be flung on carpet:

Get ammonia, a towel, and an iron.

Mix ammonia and hot water and pour it on. Put the towel on top and iron over the towel.

Weirdly, I actually enjoy doing it.

This and other pretty cool cleaning tips here.

We went to our Frozen Movie in the Park last night with our cute friends!
After an early morning long run for me and some on call work for Ben, we actually snoozed a little while the kids watched it;)
