TGIF Thoughts

Hi!

Today is a day of school for the kids, but HH took them this morning to Summerside to spend the day!  I went for a walk with the walking group.  Now I'm home waiting for my coffee!

So, I tried the rug out in the front room.

At first, it seemed too busy to me, with the painted floor.

   

And I wasn't sure it went with the dresser.

 But I think once the room is all done, it'll look good.

The room will have a white bench with white "lockers" on the right in the above pic, wooden doors on the left, and the dresser (which could be re-painted, but may end up working in the space).  The walls will be white or cream and I'm leaning toward a planked white ceiling.  We have the planks from the kids' old room. I think right now there's just too much junk!

DS is learning at school about the food groups and how much of each group he needs. We realized we're all short on veggies and fruit!  So, I've been trying to serve more. I read an interesting article about how non-organic fruit and veggies are still good for you!  And it's better to eat a non-organic apple than an organic cracker snack pack.  I've fallen into the trap of not getting non-organic produce sometimes because I think it's "bad".  So, I'm gonna buy more produce now because the kids will eat it if it's there!  This week I've served cut up veggie sticks in little glasses with dip in the bottom.  I wasn't sure the kids would eat it or not, but they did! I must try to find that article again.  I was on HH's computer....

(Update: Here's the link to the article!)

Have a great weekend! :-)
