Because no matter how much I tell the boys that there is no such thing as girl colors, no one wants the pink plates. And too many plates means some fall out or I have to help put dishes away!

Meg v. Clutter: 31 Day Minimalism Game, Day 1

I have not been keeping track of our projects around here, but it’s a new year so I can start again! Some family and friends are doing a 31-day minimalism challenge in January. Each day we get rid of the number of item that date indicates (e.g. 1 item on day 1, 2 items in day 2, all the way to 31 items on the 31st. If anyone reads this and wants to play let me know and I’ll add you to our fun group!

Here is my day 1: a scrapbooking case that was the bane of John’s existence through countless moves. I finally found more convenient homes for my craft supplies and we aren’t planning on moving very far in the next 30 years, so time to say goodbye!

Meg v. The Bathroom: Ceiling Paint

I had to stay up late to do it, but it's nice and white now, instead of dirty, stained beige. It feels good to be making progress!

Meg vs. The Bathroom: Back At It!

It has been a crazy long time but we started a project big enough that John demanded that it be documented. We are remodeling our master bathroom! We have known since we moved in that the shower would need replacing, and it got to the point that the wall was bulging and we couldn’t put it off any longer. I will spare the world a before picture because it was not pretty.

Now that John has a real doctor job and no summer to remodel like he did during med school, we bit the bullet and hired out the work. That means we are at the mercy of the contractors’ schedules, and so our bathroom has looked like this for over a week and will look this way for an indefinite future.

Thank goodness the toilet is still functional or we would have had a slew of accidents by now between the five boys!
