Posted in Family, and Homemaking

D came home late Monday night and has off Tuesday (yes!), so our tackle it for Tuesday will be family time. I think we may go see a movie, but I know that we’ll be renting Charlotte’s Web since my daughter has been begging to see it. lol! We’re just going to spend the day reuniting as a family and having some good old fashioned fun!! No working today! The rest of the week’s tackle will be packing, packing, and more packing.

We’re at the new house working and having fun. Ok, so I have a lot of painting and tasks to do this week, but for Tackle It Tuesday, I will be tackling this!!Yes, that is a painted on blue and orange “tile” backsplash. Now, the idea was a good one, but it’s got to go. So, today, we’ll be saying goodbye to the fake tiles and the lime green walls in the eat-in kitchen. If all goes well, I will also paint the attached laundry room… For the rest of the week, I will be tackling painting the lime green…

Thankfully, D was willing to help me take care of the few science experiments that were found. I think everything ended up looking pretty good in the end. Updated to add the spice cabinet. I was motivated to finish up all areas, so I also tackled the spice cabinet today.

Now, I’ve never made these oatmeal bars, but I keep saying that I’m going to try. Well, today, I’ve decided it’s time to do it. We already have all the stuff that we need, so now, it’s time to just get it done. We’ll…
