Mommy’s Little Helpers
Okay so the good thing about not reinstalling freshly painted kitchen cupboards?
Time.
Time to see and study all the shovings done for shove-sake in the inner depths of my kitchen cupboardry.
Also time for Molla and Ry to bring digging in tuperware to a higher art form.
This week as been spent drooling over new hardware online but more importantly a whole new structure for domestic kitchen bliss was formed. That and a lot of TV and pizza. It’s cold okay!
I am thrilled to pieces to have a lunch making center, beverage “row” and a pantry that has food in it (not just for stashing anymore!)
Now what to do with the rest of the clutter I took out of the now stream-lined cupboard system?
Kick it to the curb! That’s it! Lupus foundation is coming soon…yes!
Advent Begins

Christmas is coming! I have been totally relaxed about Christmas this year. I was going to follow a Count-Down-Calender to be super organized and unstressed. Turns out I don’t like actually following rules, directions or other people’s list (no matter how brilliant they are) when it come to the Holidays.
We strung a couple bunches of white twinkle lights along our front landscaping bushes, donated to Toys for Tots and broke out the iPod full of carols (mostly contemporary stylings which have been so fun to listen to in the car). More plans to come but for now we are enjoying a calm but spirited energy leading up to Christmas.
This season I want to start the tradition of lighting Advent candles and reading from the Bible about the birth of Christ. I have so much to celebrate about in the remembrance of Jesus!
Here is tonight’s first reading about HOPE!
Bible, Book of Isaiah, Chapter 60, Verses 2-3
2 See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
3 Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
The New HDTV
Molly on her diaper table...soon to be TV stand.
Hey...that is NOT my changing pad!
So Neat Pete and I are buying an HDTV (I know…I wish I could say “bought”). I am trying to convince him that I could repurpose our old diaper table into a TV stand. Of course his common sense prevails to say…Let’s finish our current projects then we will see about other “creations” of mine.
Okay, okay but can’t you see the sprayer going already with a deep black/brown or cottage white and the new feet being installed and updated drawer pulls?
Here are my little dumplings with their Daddy on Thanksgiving morning. Thank You God for such a blessing.
We had a leisurely breakfast and played around on our living room “furniture”. Yes, cushions and blankets kept us pleasantly cozy and entertained!
{note: in the upper right hand of the photo the kitchen cabinet doors are painted and stacked ready for their new hardware. Of course we still have to order the hardware, so the doors might be finding their home in the living room for awhile!}
We played turkey-gone-a-hunting for about 45 minutes with a stuffed animal turkey. It was big hit, even for Molly!
We are off to local family gatherings for the afternoon.
For my family Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks, break bread and grow contentment.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
