Back to reality

Spring Break is over.

The kids are ba-ack.

Already i'm wishing for the peace of last week.

I need your help...

So I have a bedroom set for our guest bedroom...but the only thing is that it's oak. So I have a plan to paint it white, preferably with some distressing. I've checked out different techniques, like crackling and distressing, but I've never done this before. So here's where you all come in. Can you give me advice on re-doing wood furniture? I'd love to hear your expertise...since I know some of you have done this before!!

I love my husband but...

I have to tell this quick little story.

An ad comes on TV for Aveeno moisturizer with Shitake mushroom elements in it (apparently they have anti-aging properties in them). Dave looks at me totally serious and says...

"I thought 'shitake' was some made up word, not a real thing".

haha. I love this guy. We can also add this experience to the time Dave was dumbfounded when he first saw edemame. He thought it was a made up word for peas that Katie and the girls and I used. Can you tell he's a simplist when it comes to food or what?

I love you Dave!
