Tell it Tuesday #10- Must like noises to try new things
While we were watching a fireworks show, the loud noises scared a young boy about the same age as my youngest. He started to cry so his father carried him away. Instead of empathizing with the young man she made a conclusion.
Seriously, I don't know where she gets this stuff. Loud gun shot type sounds make a young child upset…and he must not like to try new things. I would have never put the two together.

DIY WASH Laundry Decor
Decor for a laundry room? Yes, it's a thing now…but I can't bring myself to pay for decorations that will be rarely seen. Honestly, if it's expensive I lose interest, no matter how pretty it is.
Something handmade. Something that I enjoy making is more my style.
Want to see how I made this easy laundry decor? Read on!

Fresh Laundry Makeover
Creepy laundry rooms in the basement are now a thing of the past. Laundry rooms today are functional AND pretty.
My laundry rooms have always been privy to non public areas of my home- such as the garage or basement-until now. The whole concept of a pretty laundry room is new to me.
Meet my budget friendly laundry room makeover. Check out my before pictures.

Tell it Tuesday #9- Cuddle Party
One night my family of 5 ended up crammed into my bed for a pre-snooze cuddle session. Mind you, I own a queen sized bed. It wasn't the most comfortable arrangement but we probably could have made it work if we were tired enough. Between giggles and various sized feet in my face, my son wonders out loud.
Chirp chirp. Chirp chirp….
There was a noticable delay in my husband's answer…followed by a "It's time for bed!"
Guess he didn't agree eye to eye. Haha, I'm sure there will be plenty of those in the future.
Everyone sleeping in one bed was fun to try while my children were still semi little.
It was a nice thought…

Tell it Tuesday # 8- Don't Judge Me
One of the joys of having a 9 year old and a 3 year old is the randomness that is exchanged between the two.
We were out of coffee in my home…and me + three children - coffee = disaster.
On our emergency trip to the coffee shop, my son and daughter were arguing over their toys.
Did you know hostage negotiator was part of a mom's job description? It's a critical skill or else blood is spilled.
After neutralizing the situation and placing the stuffed dog in protective custody, my three year old simply responds with-
I can see her telling her preschool teacher this in the fall.
They have no idea what they are in store for.
*Sigh*

Thrift Store Swap Reveal!
I'm excited to share this Thrift Store Swap reveal! It's here, the time is finally here!
5 bloggers and I collaborated for a Thrift Store Swap. We each shopped locally and found $10 in random thrift store treasures. We swapped our finds…and now it's time to see how our junk was repurposed!
Lisa from Five Kids, a Dog and a Blog sent me my project items. I have to admit that I felt very spoiled when I opened my box. It was like she knew exactly what I needed!
Here is what I got.
What did I do with it? Keep scrolling to find out!
