Day 197 - Helping Dad

Just had to snap this picture this afternoon of Dale and Henry building our new wall unit together. Yes, Henry was quite interested in the drill and the set of drill bits that made a good sound when rattled in their case, and he did like hiding behind the cupboards that were yet to be hung for a bit of peek-a-boo! Our kitchen / family room is finally coming together with the pantry almost to the painting stage today and our wall unit that we bought in Ikea last month, finally being unpacked!

Day 191 - Getting Organised

I am inspired by other people's organisation; Today my friend Peta's blog has the same post title as mine and she is someone who is always organised! Another friend's facebook status told me the other day that she had planned all of her meals for term 3! Anyway, getting organised was one of my aims for these holidays, in order to make things easier day to day. Today I picked up these great clothes hampers at the Hyperdome; the Reject Shop no less! The plan is to separate our laundry before we wash, so one for lights and one for darks. I also grabbed a couple of extra baskets to keep our window sill tidy, since our ensuite only has one little cupboard. Wish me luck!

Day 169 - Pantry Corner to Be!

When we moved into our place about 3 years ago, I had the brilliant idea (yes I think I shall take credit) to build a walk in pantry in the corner of the family room, which is opposite the kitchen. Although we have a great modern kitchen, it is pretty low on storage and actually has no pantry. Anyway, the other week we finally bought all the materials. I am slightly disappointed because it was supposed to be started this weekend, but Dan (Dale's brother who is building it) and his wife have decided to fit in a trip away with their new bub before Dan goes back to work. I shall continue to organise it in my mind, meanwhile!
