All you’ll need to do is take it into whatever room you store your wrapping paper in, stand it up next to the wall, and you have a perfect little “bin” to hold all your rolls of wrapping paper.

A sparkling creek..The first frog spotting of the year.. Isn’t he cute?.

What signs of Spring have you seen lately?It seems like I own about 8000 different storage baskets, boxes, bins, etc.It also always seems like the ones I have are never quite right.So I buy more, also either not quite right or just waaay too expensive.. Until now!.

We needed something for Kennedy’s bedside table so I went right ahead and made it myself!.I’ve seen this idea around here and there, but I’ve always sort of overlooked it because the ones I’ve seen haven’t really been my style.

But I’m loving this one..

I just grabbed an ordinary box that was the right size..This year or next!I feel like I’m being just a tiny bit rebellious here.. As a home blogger, I kind of have an obligation to bring you inspiration and pretty pictures to look at.

I most definitely should have some kind of designer Christmas tree..I mean, having a kids’ tree is fine.

Multi-colored lights and mis-matched ornaments aren’t the end of the world, but really I should have a second tree (or a third or a fourth) that’s all done up “properly”..I just didn’t feel like it.
