Painting Tip

Okay, this may be the only decorating tip I ever post, so enjoy! :o)
A friend of my mom's suggested putting a bit of paint from each room into a large baby food jar and writing the room it matches on the outside of the jar. Then, when you need to do touch-ups, you can just mix up the jar and dab the paint on with a cotton swab. It is so much more convenient to do the minor touch-ups if you don't have to mix up the gallon container and dirty and clean up a paint brush. Certainly helps me not want to strangle the kids for scuffing the walls!

I have more jars if you need some, Tonia. Seems easier than you having another baby to get jars. :o)

So sorry to hear about Darbin. I remember going canoeing with him and what a special dog he was. I'm glad Abi and Brandon will have memories of him. So good to read your well-written blog. Miss you guys! Love,
