Keeping it real? Have you heard about those posts lately? The one that says you should blog about your REAL day to day life, and not just the good parts. I thought this one over alot. I could show you our very messy coat closet, maybe all the wet slushy crap on the kitchen floor from everyone going in and out, or even better, the HUGE pile of laundry waiting downstairs for me to fold. No thanks, is what I say! I don't even want to think about those things...let alone have you see them!

But I did decide to show you my "end table" on my side of the bed. I had really good intentions when I bought those cute and trendy picture boxes. I was going to organize family pictures over Christmas break.....didn't happen. The purple tub us where I keep my small stash of yarn, and the library has been treating me good with books! Its not the "best" looking end table, I don't think Martha Stewart would rave about it, but it works great for me!!
Now, onto the good blogging! :)
I couldn't leave the big sister out next door. Remember I made her cute little brothers hats the other day? Well I finished up these fingerless for her. They were alot of fun to make, really warm, and almost hard to give away. I asked her ahead of time if I made them, would she really wear them? I think they were a hit. I love making things for other people and watching their faces when they try them on.


My husband Kiley was taking a picture to put on Flickr. He is getting to be very talented with a camera. He started taking a daily picture. This is Kiley's flickr picture #6, that was from his camera view. You should go check out some of his pictures. He always loves to get new comments.
And speaking of comments....I love getting comments! Thanks to all of you that leave them for me. They make me smile everyday.
I challenge all of you that read this to go look at 5 "new to you" blogs and leave a comment. Come back and tell us about it in my comment section. Go and make someone smile from your comment...I dare you! :)
