You can tell by the dust accumulation that it hasn't been used in awhile.
When I saw it I thought: Don't need those! I'll just throw them out. But then I started flipping through and I still love this stuff! Plus it's kind of fun to see how my style has changed over the years (answer: not that much!)
So let's see....
I have some yummy recipes...
And some inspiration for the home (at the time I lived in a 600 square foot bungalow not much to work with!)
I had this page pinned to my bulletin board for ages - it seemed so fresh to me.
I once had an unhealthy obsession with the Noguchi table. I really wanted one of these suckers.
This pic kind of looks like a combo of my main floor and basement bathrooms (I said kind of...).
A fresh and airy bedroom with a simple ensuite
I remember absolutely loving this outdoor living area. I kept wondering how I could make it work in my little backyard.
Lots of fun going through this stuff - I even found a recipe for dinner last night!
Now for some random thoughts:
- Have you ever worn an apron while cooking? I put one on tonight for the first time because I was wearing a white shirt and I've been having a really bad track record spilling on myself every day. Why haven't I don't this before?? Very Suzy-Homemaker, but very smart.
- I think Leo is getting interested in potty training - he now says "Bye bye pee pee" when the toilet flushes..."
- Do you have a pet? Do you want one? Just kidding (kind of) my cat is driving me bonkers. He nips at my toes and meows all the time these days. I think he realizes that there is another baby coming into the house and I'm sure he's not too happy about it.
- I'm half-way through a book for my street book club. We're reading Caleb's Crossing and I'm really liking it so far. I wasn't sure I would because it takes place in the 1600s and the language was a bit hard to get used to but I did! I really want to finish it because I have yet to finish one yet for this group! A book a month is hard to do these days...
- So ya... better get reading...
- Happy Monday!
In regards to your apron comment, if I'm doing the last of my prep while dressed in my party outfit, I put an apron on. I spill all the time so aprons are a must for me.
ReplyDeleteI kind of wish I had a binder like these, specifically one for recipes. I work from an online recipe off my computer all the time, but I would always prefer to have a paper copy. And flipping through a book... Pinterest can't replace that!
ReplyDeleteI have a cute apron hanging off the handle of my freezer door but I find I rarely think to put it on... should definitely change that.
I have binders like this myself, but seeing as I'm the tech scaredy cat, I still use them. Yours are much more nicely arranged than mine, though... I see a rainy day project in my future.
