I see a Bikini in my Future. And a Scuba Suit in Wayne's ...

We just booked our vacation! Remember ages ago when I asked you all for ideas on where to go? I loved all the responses (I think it is my biggest commented on post ever), and we almost went to Hawaii with the kids - but in the end, we decided to not take the kids and do something with an 'adults only' vibe.

We're headed to the Turks and Caicos Islands in late Feb!! We cannot wait!

We're staying at Point Grace Hotel - which comes highly recommended by Nik and John. Powdered sugar beaches ... water so amazing you'll want to pinch yourself (or your spouse's bum ...) ... the hotel staff brings you water and misting bottles while you're soaking up the rays ...

Cannot wait.

I pulled out my bikini this afternoon and have it laying across my bed. I plan on plastering it to the fridge as a friendly reminder that I can do ANYTHING for 5 weeks (until vacation), including not eating a single carb.

Cannot wait.

Wayne is going to scuba. We're both going to read and nap and walk around and watch sunsets and swim and swim and swim.

Five weeks and counting. I'm giddy!!

Storage Solutions

Everyday I trip over all the shoes in the laundry room/mudroom as I enter and exit from the garage.

Everday I think about what I should do to contain the mess that multiplies by the  hour.

Everyday.

So, I did a bit of research for ideas to contain the mess, and came up with nothing for the laundry room, but something very cute for the playroom. Go figure.

Claire has a closet, but what I like about this "closet" in this picture is how cute a little display like this would be for baby doll clothing or 'dress up' clothing for your kiddo. I like it out, so you can see all the fun fabrics and patterns.

I am sure I have shared this picture before, but just incase you missed it, these crates would be very easy to make yourself. Caster wheels can be found online in fun colors or at your local hardware store if you want black or silver.

My uninspiring solution for shoes. Something everyone has and totally not blog worthy, but whatever. The first two redeem this one. Found at Target, Container Store, etc.
