Let's Look at.. Your Desk

Image
This month's Let's Look At.. is all about our desks.  


I actually have 2 desks.  The one in our bedroom is where I tackle most of my crafting projects and where I keep my laptop handy for blogging.  

I store pre-made pages in the holders and current scrapbooks I'm working on right next to them. 

All my stamp pads and ink are kept together and all my papers are organized by color in each of the drawers. 

Even with my laptop and Cricut on my desk I still have a pretty decent sized space left for my projects. 

My most used supplies are kept right at my fingertips.

I sort by rainbow-- white, printed white, pink. printed pink, red, printed red, etc all the way through black. 


The second desk is in our media room and I use it to hold all our homeschooling books and office supplies. 

I can always tell how much older my boys are getting by the types and amounts of books we stock up on for the coming year.

We leave a space on the desktop for the younger boys to store their laptop here and f…

Friday Favorites: A Hot Week at Home

We have had a real heatwave passing through that started on Saturday and still has yet to break.  With hot, muggy days we haven't had a whole lot of ambition for anything other than swimming, boating, jet skiing and reading.  Not a bad way to pass the time!



I had plans to meet up with Alec's girlfriend and her mom to drop Alec off with them for the day on Friday.  But first I spent much of my morning on the phone and emailing various people at Alec's new school.  Somehow we missed a few letters and emails telling us he was accepted back in June and going over things like summer reading, making a class schedule, etc.  It was a bit stressful but everyone I talked with was so nice and helpful!  Hopefully we'll get everything sorted out soon.  It's such an unusual year for everyone and I've been warned that even now they aren't really sure what school will look like when it does start up next month.  I used a bit of downtime to start a new puzzle.

Friday Favorites: The Week My Husband and I Took a Little Trip to Maine

Image
We had another fabulous week with good weather, good food and lots of family and fun.



We spent a rainy, gray Friday at home.  The boys and I cleaned the upstairs.  We played some card games did lots of reading. I tried to finish up my latest book- The Woman in Cabin 10.



For dinner I made Weight Watchers pizzas and a salad.

The boys had a birthday party to attend on Saturday.  It was supposed to rain but the weather ended up being quite beautiful.  I'm not sure who was more excited the boys or I!  I spent my morning finishing up my book and starting another one-- Big Summer.  Alec began putting together my birthday dessert for my party.  He settled on making some triple chocolate cheesecake cupcakes and it was hard not to swipe one!




In the afternoon/evening we spent a good 4 hours hanging out with our friends in their backyard.  They rent a huge blow up slide and have a small above ground pool and I think the kids spent the whole time between the two (when they weren't eating!…
