I didn’t really have anything to post today, so when Trisha with MomDot suggested a good old fashioned ‘blog carnival’ I decided to join.   The idea was to take photos of 5 things in your house that would help people get to know you if they walked through.

1) I love coffee.  Or really, espresso.  Yum…yum…I might have to have an iced americano after this post.

(This is our DeLonghi Magnificia, which is an amazing machine.  Highly recommended – it was a gift, this is not a review!)

2) The playroom is always messy.   The kids clean it, and 5 minutes later it’s a wreck.  It will be cleaned later today.

 3) This is how I store my jewelry.   I actually love this method – everything is out in front of me, so I can easily accessorize.

4) We love art.  We invested some of our disposable income before children in local artists.  We love having it in the house.

5) I like weird stuff.  Like soap made from beer.  I bought this at a micro-brewery in Redmond, Washington on our recent trip.

Want to join the carnival?  Link up your post here!

  13. Soap made from beer…never heard of it!

    Our kids rooms look the same. Although mine have 3 rooms that look like that. One for each of them and then a “general” room that they destroy.
