A Big Accomplishment!

I did this one a about a month or two ago but was still a great "Accomplishment"!

This is what you saw when we open our font door to let you in! Not PRETTY!

(Before)

All the shoes were driving me nuts! Yes I have a shoe problem which does cary over to some of my children! So I got a cubby thing (which we had to put together) and some baskets...

(After)

Now there is a cubby for me and one for hubby to throw stuff into as we walk in the door...

And two for each of the kids, one for library book or when school starts school stuff and one for their most used shoes (and while it is summer flip-flops)!

It looks so much better...

but we still have the basket of extra shoes on the wall facing the cubes but you don't see it unless you look down when you come throw the door or when you are leaving so for now it works.

I also want bigger baskets soon these ones came for the dollar store so I could keep the cost down! (those baskets are like $5 to $16 or so each and I need at lest 4!)

An Accomplishment ~ Something That Makes Me Happy!

Ok I am not doing to well on keeping up w/ blogging, mostly b/c I don't want all to be complaining about every thing... So I think I will try something new!

I want to post up Accomplishments b/c there is so much to improve on and I really need motivation so here it is, I accomplish something I can post and brag about it even if it just cleaning a room! Lol! Also I really want to add in something I am thankful for, love, or just something that makes me happy!

So here goes the first one:

Accomplishment:

So we have moved into this older town home when we were 8/9 months pregnant w/ our daughter (3rd child), the place is not the best and the appliances are old and well yuck looking when we moved in. We only planed to live here 2 years and hopeful buy a house but life happens and we are not there yet. But it has now been 4 years and the oven has seen better days. Only 2 burners work at a time, sometimes a 3rd will work, the heat element has been replaced, and 2 knobs have broken off... So when the door fell apart and the installation fell out the bottom I got really excited, called my hubby at work and asked him if it was fixable (he couldn't tell till he came home to look at it) and he called the land-lord to come over and take a look! (If it was something they could fix I really was starting to think of other ways to get a new oven!) It turns out the land-lord decided it was time for a NEW OVEN!!!! YES!!!!!

(Before)

It may not be the top of the line anything but it works, all the burners work, it CLEAN, and it brightens up the whole kitchen since it is white shiny and new!

(After)

I am so happy about getting a New Oven, it is an accomplishment I have wanting for quite some time!

Now if we could only get a new refrigerator!

Now Something that Makes Me Happy:

Today my daughter Lila (4yrs. old) started Ballet Camp!

This is her first ever a day camp and her first time doing any thing ballet! She was so excited! We went out and bought shoes and a leotard the day before and she danced around the dressing room so happy about getting suck cool things! You can't help but smile at a little girl's excitement!!!

When we got there she gravitated to a castle made out a sheet and when I came back to pick her up she was back there playing with one of their dress up dress in the castle w/ other little girls! I came a little early to pick her up and watched at the window, surprisingly she did not notice I was there till there was quite a crowd of proud parents watching their little girls play and boy did she have the biggest smile for me that said "I LOVE IT HERE" and "LOOK AT ME"! I did hear a very proud happy little girl that she is say through the window "That's My Mommy" to one of the other little girls!

AND THAT MAKE ME A HAPPY, PROUD, THANKFUL, LOVING MOM!

~LOVE~SMILE~ENJOY~HAPPINESS~
