Tuesday’s Tidings for January 21, 2014

1. A common problem with toddlers. I hang them up, he tears them down. A vicious never-ending cycle.


2. Downton Abbey S:4 Epi:3- *SPOILER ALERTS*
Okay, a marriage proposal??? Already??? WOW! Thank goodness Mary had the good sense to say,” No.” But during that whole scene, my thoughts were with Anna! If Mary were to of said,”Yes” then that goon would of been moving into Downton Abbey! BAD BAD BAD! Why do I feel like we have not seen the last of Edna yet? Edith certainly can’t say she is any better than Mary now. I mean, really? I was pleased with Rosamund for saying what she did. But I think Edith is just to blinded with the fact that someone is showing an interest in her to care about the aftermath. She is now, technically, as Mary has put it in the past before, “Damaged Goods.” Thoughts??? It was a slower episode, but some really powerful lines played. “Better a broken heart than a Broken Neck.” And the line that Mr. Bates delivered to Lord Grantham about how Anna is perfect and could never do anything wrong so it must of been him that’s made her so upset, just about killed me.

3. I’ve got plans for my laundry room. Right now, it’s not very cute and I want it cuter! I love the idea of this tabletop over the machines with a shelf. Josh and I are going to make it happen!

4. I was in a grumpy mood last evening. I was tired. No energy. But it’s amazing, I got started on dinner, and began slicing the garlic and instantly I started to feel better. Cooking Italian food is just amazing!

5. Valentine’s Day is coming up. What do you guys usually do? Josh and I usually make a nice dinner here at the house with the kids.

6. We were at the mall Saturday evening and we walked into A Children’s Place for a brief moment and fell in love with hats for Christian. We got him two fedoras and a cute paperboy hat all for $1.99 a piece! Such a steal!

7. I just bought my first new wallet in like 5 years this weekend. My other one was just falling apart and I found this cute black Kenneth Cole Reaction wallet at Ross, on Clearance. I could not pass up the price and I love it!

8. No joke, Josh found a pair of pants for his dad at Old Navy the other day for $.47! Yes, really, we only paid that much. So crazy!

9. Today, I’m going to be DIYing! I’ve bought the few extra ingredients I needed to make an At home Dust Cleaner and Glass Cleaner! I’m so excited. I’ve got the spray bottles, the vinegar, the rubbing alcohol, and the essential oil, which was the most expensive of the items at $5.39. I’ve already made an all-purpose vinegar cleaner that you can use in your kitchen and bathrooms and it works beautifully! I cleaned our bathroom counters and floor behind the toilets and it made the areas sparkle and Josh used the cleaner on the showers and bathtub and loved it! So much cheaper and so much better for us!

10. Josh got this breakfast sandwich maker for his b-day and we’ve used it a bunch of times and we love it!!! So many possibilities!
