Tax Season

Tax season is crazy busy. Our time together is very little. So what do we do? Home projects! And after 5 years of marriage we finally put together a bathroom. Even funnier, we haven't owned a 'decorative' shower curtain ever. What is the change of mind? More like a change of price. I found this little gem for $3. And the flowers and vase? Dollar store! Judge me if you want, I am cheap!
And since most of the time Kevin is MIA, us girls (okay maybe just me) stay busy doing things like this: This is a chore chart that my friend created. I borrowed the idea and changed it and added a little of my vinyl touch. :) It is magnetic and the girls have magnets that they move down to the solid color when they have completed their chores for the day. (Keep in mind that they are 3 and 1 so I included things like brushing teeth and getting dressed. :) They get a marble when they complete a task and when their jar is full, we get a treat! This idea I also stole from a friend (like I am creative enough to come up with things on my own...yeah right!). I use recipe cards (or scraps of paper) for my recipes. So now they cannot move while cooking! I also made the star magnets. Aren't they cool? I thought this would be a fun and cheap Super Saturday project. (Which if you do want to do, let me know and I can do the vinyl for ya!). I should also add-Kevin routed the edges for me with his cool new router!
Hope ya'll are enjoying tax season! April 15th is going to be a great day!
