Sometimes it's the little things..... (and the not so little things)

Just wanted to share my exciting little find today. I found this totally cool dish strainer at Sam's Club today. It's almost sad how giddy this made me on my lunch. :) But this is thee perfect strainer. Look how big it is, it fits my pans easily with plenty of room to spare. And it was only $14!! (I've seen similar ones for $30 or $40.)
I love when I can find cheap, practical things that make me that happy.
AND, look at my new washing buddy! Our other hand-me-down washer was dying (it was like 20 years old, it'd had a good run) so we decided to upgrade. This thing is so awesome! It's so quiet, sometimes I just sit and watch my clothes tumbling in the see-through door. It's a giant though, look how teeny my poor old dryer looks next to it. I actually wish we would've bought it's mate so I don't have to split up the huge loads to dry them. Soon...
It used to be the shopping trips to the mall that made me this happy (don't get me wrong, those will still do the trick!) but I'm glad I made these practical purchases. No buyer's remorse here!

About Me

My photo
My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
