They weren't hard to build, and hold a ton of kid books. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/426082814718667340/Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155527280978155315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-2696527142885978102016-05-07T07:23:12.914-06:002016-05-07T07:23:12.914-06:00I never noticed or cared how dirty the windows wer...I never noticed or cared how dirty the windows were until my mother-in-law said, "Whose handprints are those all over the window?" Ummm...your grandkids'. Thanks for noticing. Anyway, now I try to wash them at least as often as she visits. <br /><br />I used just plain vinegar, but that smells. I was given this Norwex cloth (http://amzn.to/1VNPCtZ), and washing windows became so much easier! You just wet it and wipe. When it's dirty, you throw it in the washer and reuse it. I know Norwex has other stuff, but this is the only one of their products I've tried...<br /><br />After days of begging, I finally gave in to letting the kids run through the sprinkler. I won't show them the picture of your kids' epic set up, though, or they might get jealous. :)Alicia @ Sweeping Up Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166554346293304750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-29827280267684134562016-05-07T07:17:37.189-06:002016-05-07T07:17:37.189-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alicia @ Sweeping Up Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166554346293304750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-82116380284303075552016-05-06T17:10:52.430-06:002016-05-06T17:10:52.430-06:00I saw footage on the news about the fire, so devas...I saw footage on the news about the fire, so devastating!!

Ever. We've lived here 4 years. I don't even feel bad admitting it, that's how much I hate cleaning windows. LOL. Oh, and I actually really like the plain ol' Ikea bookshelves for small spaces because they're not super deep, and you can either paper or paint the backs of them and make them look a little cuter. And... CHEAP. ;) Christina @ a gentle motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577999054685534337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-87681966014777058902016-05-06T15:03:38.943-06:002016-05-06T15:03:38.943-06:00Said a prayer for your province-that's awful, ...Said a prayer for your province-that's awful, and I can't imagine what it would be like to have my life uprooted like that. Hopefully it will get under control soon! Congrats on the new phone! It's the small things in life that make our days so joyful, isn't it? Happy Friday!

We had snow last Friday and T-shirt weather today, which is a bit strange, even for northern England...<br />Hope you got your drink ;-)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448300763872886022noreply@blogger.com
