It's the little things...

that can make me happy. Like this:

Can you tell what it is? When I saw it, I knew I had to have it! Even though I knew hubby wouldn't appreciate it like me.















Did you guess what it was? Here is another shot. Doesn't it look great with our newly painted bathroom! We got the paint free from Glidden and I picked the color over the internet so wasn't sure I would like it. But it is so bright and cheary!







Here is the other thing I did today. We finally bought curtains for our living room. Honestly, we have lived here 6 years (yikes!) and never bought curtains. We bought the rods last spring and they have just been dying for something to go on them Here are the before and after shots.



















So much better don't ya think? The best part, since we have been using a cash system, we put money into our home budget every month. It isn't the perfect system and we do go over it sometimes but it really keeps me in check especially for groceries and eating out. Once the money is gone it is gone. But to pull out the money for 4 panels of curtains knowing I didn't have to take it out of my account when I didn't really have the extra funds this month. Feels awesome!
