"A (wo)man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of (her)his life in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of beautiful God has implanted in the human soul."- Goethe

It Just Feels Good

It just feels good to clean up a space or do something I've had in the back of my mind for a while. Recently, I did something that seems frivolous, but makes my space feel so much better. I can breathe better without all the clutter, and can focus on more important things.

Before:



I know! Can you even tell the photos apart from the advertisements? Me neither.
After:



I've wanted to cover my fridge magnets for the longest time, so that they would coordinate with my kitchen and not distract so much from my photos. Try not to judge me for that.

Well, I realized that I didn't even want anything decorative on my fridge. I just wanted photos. (Why didn't I think of this before? Duh!)

So, I snipped up all our fridge magnets (you know, the free ones that come with the phone books) and used them to turn all my photos into magnets...and I added just a few more photos that I liked.

Now I can always rearrange my pictures now that they're magnetized, and we don't have to pick up fallen photos every time we open our freezer.

    Great idea! Now what do I do with all the kids artwork on the fridge? haha! I love the red kitchen and I have the same yellow chip & dip container on my fridge. Unfortunately, I hardly ever use it. I just get out the bag & the salsa. Are you also a clean freak? Ever since I found out we are moving again, I have been throwing so much away. I miss you guys! Want to move to Maryland and live next door to us? I will babysit for free :)

    I'm glad you like our red kitchen. We miss having you guys next door too! We'd totally be up for Maryland in a year, but we have to stay put until then :(
