Now I'm in the middle of finding spots for all the new toys and taking down all the holiday decorations. It never seems like a lot of work putting up all those decorations but taking them down almost makes me want to cut back next year - almost. I think it is like having another child - you know how you forget all the morning sickness, childbirth and not sleeping stuff and only think how cuddly and lovey babies are and then go and get yourself pregnant. Anyways, my point was that our house is a disaster zone so hence no new projects to share - yet. I am in the middle of a new media center for the basement that hopefully I can complete this week.
Random Thing #2: My oldest son's 9th birthday is today. He has requested Alfredo noodles and shrimp for dinner followed by my famous chocolate cake. It's only famous in our family because my husband and the boys love it so much. No big secret - just regular Betty Crocker cake mix and Hershey Cocoa Mix frosting. I think that making the frosting using real butter makes the difference.
Random Thing #3: I am addicted to Pinterest now. Check out my pins by using the link or by using the button on the sidebar. I've started boards for craft ideas, master bedroom dreams and my upcoming (fingers crossed) bathroom remodel and a few others. It's neat to see which pictures I pin get repinned by others. Here are a few of my favorite pins right now...

Random Thing #4: One of my favorite gifts to give this year was a set of 4 mini handmade bread boards from Vintage Home Designs. When they came to our house they were so awesome that I wanted to keep them for myself but I resisted and my mother-in-law loved them. Our Vintage Home has a great blog that you should check out when you get a moment.

Random Thing #5: I bought my husband a Kindle Fire
So there you have it. Completely odd bits of my life for the last week or so. I promise to show you some more interesting things once the craziness dies down.
