Big mortgages, big child-care costs to cover those long hours you have to work, and expensive fuel costs so you can get to the job to work the long hours, all that.
If you want some spoon art for your dining room, or art involving any type of utensil, really, you can find all kinds of fun stuff at thrift stores and garage sales for almost nothing..I invested 3 minutes a few years ago and I’m still getting comments on it.
I’d say that’s time well spent.I have another super cute and easy kid-friendly craft to share with you today!.Now, let’s be honest: When I say kid-friendly, what I really mean is that this craft was totally for me and Kennedy just didn’t get mad at me for making her do it with me.If there were no kids around, I’d probably still make these.
They’re just so darn cute!.It went a little like this:.
-Paint the rocks orange (we used dollar store acrylic paint).. -Let the paint dry.. -Draw faces on them in Sharpie.. -Line them up on a window sill and enjoy their cuteness (or spookiness depending on how easily frightened you are by our skillful drawings of scary faces).. See that long tall one on the end?
That’s supposed to be the scariest one of all.I actually, literally just keep wearing whatever I wore to bed the night before most of the time.
If you see me wearing jeans at the school pick up line (but you won’t cause I don’t get out of the car), I probably slept in them.. -The worst thing is probably that I find myself getting annoyed at things like Chris taking Kennedy for bike rides, or playing games with her because they “don’t get anything done”.I will literally catch myself saying “OK, I’m going to put the baby down and then I have 20 seconds to get this dishwasher unloaded before he starts fussing, so just be aware of that and focus, OK?” It’s funny….. but it’s also really not.
I’m the poster child for “Lighten up!”.. -I almost didn’t share that last one because it’s pretty terrible and I’m still trying to convince myself that I’m not that far away from getting things back under control.And I’m so not even close.. -This post?
