One of my favorites

AJ goes through phases of speech, where she uses one particular phrase for a variety of things. Right now, that phrase is “one of my favorites” and here’s some of the mileage it’s seen recently: 

  • One of our neighbors has a dog that keeps showing up in our yard/garage. We were taking him back the other day, and I saw that his name was Butte. AJ declared midway through the return process that “He’s one of my favorite Buttes”
  • Upon seeing Rebekah playing yesterday morning, she declared “She’s one of my favorite Rebekahs”
  • Usually when she hears a Ray LaMontagne song on the radio, she says “He’s one of mommy’s favorites”
  • Usually when she hears a familiar artist on the radio (Philip Phillips, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Mat Kearney, etc.), she’ll let us know that “He’s one of my favorites”…but sometimes this applies to songs she’s never heard before, or new/obscure artists she’s never heard before. No matter: they are always “one of her favorites”

Out of the mouths of babes….

Good morning!

To do list:

You may have noticed the torn up pictures of the laundry room…that’s just the beginning of my aim to freshen up that space of our house, which includes the back hallway to the garage, a half-bath and the laundry room. Right now, it’s a hot mess. But there are big plans a cookin’:

Laundry room:

  • Patch walls
  • Texture walls
  • Paint
  • Make curtain
  • Hang curtain rod
  • Repaint counter-top?
  • Install shelves
  • Cute-ify shelves (paint, storage, etc.)
  • Take “after” pictures 
  • Install new light?

Guest bath: 

  • Paint walls
  • Paint vanity cabinet? (I may be too lazy to do this)
  • Make/find/hang art
  • Make curtain?

Back hallway:

  • Install board and batten (a la YHL)
  • Install coat hooks
  • Make/find/hang art
  • Install new light

Enjoy!
