So I did a bit of shopping on our vacation. I bought a mix of
things, old and new, stuff for me and lots of stuff for the kid.
I'm a cheap antique shopper and anything with a price tag over $20
makes me think long and hard. I realize some of the things are old
and rare, but really, if I didn't buy it, it would just sit
gathering dust until it disintegrates or its finally put out by the
side of the road with a "Free. Take Me" sign overhead... right?Good
thing I found some stuff at a price I was willing to pay :)1. Got
these little matryoshka measuring cups at the Urban Outfitters in
Kingston. I thought these would be the cutest addition to Chloe's

Today was pretty horrible. I expected the kids to be difficult to
manage today. Meredith is always a handful after a lengthy visit
with grandparents, and on top of that, she was over-tired. Alex was
exhausted too, and I knew that both kids really missed their dad
and weren't going to be happy when he left for work this morning.
Mike literally dragged Meredith behind him as he walked to the
front door. She begged the whole way there "Please take me with
you. Please don't go to work today. Please let me come too."It went
downhill rapidly after that: Alex refused to nap today and chose to
vacillate between playing happily and screaming like a wild
banshee. Meredith whined and complained about everything and had a
very hard time listening and following instructions. I had to work
my regular pa...

sanctuary is essential, and with some well-chosen discount patio
furniture, you can create just the right mood and feel for your

The idea behind blackout window curtains is that they prevent light
from penetrating the room. They are usually hung behind regular
fabric curtains and can be drawn at night so that no light enters
the room in the morning. During the day, they can be open from
behind your regular fabric curtain so that you still have privacy
but light does enter the room. Although blackout window curtains
are heavier then your average drapery they are soft enough to hang
naturally. Moreover, the blackout curtain is favored because it
also insulates against extreme cold and heat which will go a long
way in reducing your energy bills.
