I'm in the top part of that post and live an hour away from the OR coast so I thought it was fitting that we were both on the same post together. The coast is definitely cold (but beautiful) no matter what time of year you go!

It's much easier during the school year, for some reason. Probably a momentum thing. (Also, this heat helps NOT at all!) But it is true, if you do small things every day, it's much easier to keep up with the bigger picture, so to speak. But, then, there's always ice cream to make and books to read . . .

It works quite well. It will get off general shower muck. If you have mold or mildew add a little beach(only non-chlorine type if the curtain is not plastic) Hope that helps :-)Alyson P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85443318518443163.post-34637927555244205312010-04-19T22:50:44.930-05:002010-04-19T22:50:44.930-05:00Meredith!

I'm so glad you gave it a try and that they worked out so well for you! :) For the green one, how about some white accents, maybe fabric flowers or some ribbon stripes? Or white buttons stitched on randomly? when I need ideas for embellishments like that I just browse at the craft/fabric store, there are always a million things that jump out at me!Brett Barahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535870282334428390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85443318518443163.post-84200172736907349422010-03-01T21:28:59.564-06:002010-03-01T21:28:59.564-06:00This is a really good place -- your aunt julia sho...This is a really good place -- your aunt julia shops there and the sheets are yummy. Even the cheap ones:<br />http://www.linensource.com/default.aspx?page=home&cm_mmc=Default-_-Default-_-Default-_-11363&sender=external<br /><br />Also - ebay. I bought several wonderful pottery barn comforter covers for our king size bed at a huge discount on ebay. I've used them for seven years now and they just get softer and more comfortable (but not thinner) as time goes on. <br /><br />The bigger bed will DEFINITELY help with the sleeping.

"I shouldn't have to do X, Y, Z just because it's traditional 'women's work'!" I know I did. It's that transition from taking care of only one-self to participating in a partnership.<br /><br />D rarely cooks dinner or does cleaning (beyond doing his own laundry) unless I ask. And there are days that's a struggle . . . if we have dinner, I'm going to be the one making it. I realized pretty quickly I had to change my perspective on that or I would go absolutely insane with annoyed anger. I try to think of it now as: a) making a contribution to a household and b) NOT a MUST do. If I don't feel like cooking, I say "it's fend for yourself night." And that's what we do. (In fact, we made Sunday night our traditional fend for yourself night. It's great!) <br /><br />I think the key is (until children come along - then a few things change by necessity) that you each figure out things that you really like to do and do that (Mr S likes to cook - so, he cooks most of the time. Maybe you could be like your folks: Mr S cooks, you clean up afterward.) Once you've decided what each of you likes you throw everything else into the middle and decide who will do what. And, here's the kicker, it doesn't have to stay that way forever, right? Decide what is really NECESSARY and let the rest go.<br /><br />You are NOT a bad person because you don't necessarily have to have everything just so. If Mr. S wants/likes that then let him do it the way he wants it. Nothing says you can't help. But it isn't your job - it's a SHARED responsibility. <br /><br />I could go on and on. I guess I'm saying - I feel your pain, sister. You'll work it out, I'm sure. Just keep breathing . . . and reading good books! :)Auntie Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85443318518443163.post-69276151749598327082009-09-18T15:35:40.009-05:002009-09-18T15:35:40.009-05:00Home Goods has really attractive hampers.
