Y’all. I cannot wait to see the Hunger Games. It took me a little longer than others to get into this book series. They were so hyped up that I was afraid I would be disappointed and I’m so glad I wasn’t. After finishing the first book, I waited about a week or so before I bought the second one, Catching Fire. I bought Catching Fire last Saturday afternoon and by Sunday afternoon I had finished it. Now on to the last one, Mockingjay. What will I do when I finish this one? Have you read anything that’s just as good?

DIY Playroom Bin Labels
Now that Ben’s 3, we’re giving him more responsibilities such as putting away his shoes, hanging up his coat, clearing his plate, etc. I found cleaning up the playroom to be a challenge because there was no organization what so ever. Wherever it would fit it went which led to disorganization. I also found that he wasn’t really playing with all of his toys because he had no way to see exactly what his choices were. The first step was to purge and organize so that everything had a distinct home. Once all the toys were separated by bins, I took pictures of what was inside of each one. Pictures…

I know what you must be thinking. It’s March and I’m posting about pumpkins. Yes, I’m crazy like that. Back in October I picked up a big white plastic pumpkin from Target for 75% off. For the past 4 months this sucker has been sitting in my office just waiting for it’s day to be made over and that day just so happened to be at the end of February. I started by finding a picture of the letter I wanted to use Next, I free-handed the letter on to the pumpkin using a pencil to make the outline. You can also blow up the letter, print it out, and…
