a moms best friend....

us moms are busy.

were tired.

we don't get to shave our legs as often as we'd like to.

we go days without washing our hair

{or showering...you know you do}

we are constantly doing:

dishes

laundry

carpool

cleaning

cooking

you name it. we do it.

it's no wonder we look tired and wrinkly after about 5 years of this madness!

but

fellow mothers,

lets not let ourselves go!

*wear tights-if you can't shave

*sprinkle baby powder in your hair-if it's starting to look like it's wet {but it's not ;}

you know what i'm talking about ;}

and for heavens sakes,

*wear a little makeup!

just a little...

this wonderful, magical, mothers best friend

in a jar

is called supernatural.

you can apply it while you

clean

carpool

cook

do laundry

heck you can even put it on while you breast feed!!

{i've done it...in a pinch}

so once again

{here is my philosophy plug}

"philosophy! your the bomb!"

get some!

what have i done....

to deserve this!
this morning i got to sleep in.
and i got breakfast in bed,
again!
{i know...now i'm just rubbing it in ;}
but,
i ate alone this time.
it was a little more relaxing
{read here about my last breakfast in bed ;}

well...
today is 50% off day at
good ol'
goodwill!
i need to re-do my kitchen now
{to go with my new pantry here}
wish me luck!

{some of my inspiration pictures}

new pantry!

like most of my projects
{besides them not ever getting finished}
they are usually started on a whim.
not planned.
soooo
while unloading the dishwasher, i got the urge to switch
the "cup" cabinet with the "plate" cabinet. and one thing lead to another!
then the mugs had to be switched,
then the junk cabinet had to be cleaned out,
then the tupperware cabinet needed to be thinned out with my
50 lids to my 10 containers!
so by the time i pulled everything out of every
cabinet
drawer
and pantry
my perfectly clean kitchen that i woke up too
{thanks to my wonderful husband ;}
now looked like a tornado had gone through it!
it was a long time comin though...
every time i opened up the cupboards and/or pantry
i immediately wanted to shut it!
the dirty finger prints and foot prints in my pantry
from my "animals for kids"
climbing up the shelves to get the cereal boxes down,
mixed
with the dingy,
yellow,
flat!
wall paint inside
{who uses flat wall paint?? sooo unpractical, especially with kids!}
made it look very....
un appetizing
and dingy!
i explain all of that so you can get a clear picture of what it looked like...
{and i forgot to take a "before picture"...sorry, won't happen again! but it was nasty}
so.
i get to work.
*note-had no car, all three kids with me {husband at work}, so we all
stayed in our pajamas, to say the least.
*other note-"cute neighbor" decides to stop by with "cute friend" to show her
my "cute house"...
of course,
house is a mess,
kids are scummy,
i'm scummy,
haven't brushed teeth or hair,
no bra,
left over makeup on...
awesome.
yes i answered the door.
and gave a "tour".
she will probably never come back.
poor girl.
needless to say!
12 hours later!
i finished the pantry and put the kitchen back
the way my husband left it...
clean.
see for yourself...

total cost: $0

sorry this was so long.
