Cyber Monday Non-Spectacular

Haven't been on here in a moment.. Wow. LIFE though! What can I say? New house.. New town.. New job.. School.. Kids.. Keepin' me busy. Anyway, this isn't really house stuff or even idea stuff but rather a list of shit I'm getting/have got for the kids for Christmas so I can see it all laid out in something other than my credit card statements..

For Drake..

..And then I'm painting his room to match his new bedding set. And I've bought some faux silk cobalt blue curtains to hang under his bunkbed - where I'm going to put that beanbag and lava lamp so he can have a cool little hangout. He's also getting a lot of little manipulatives for his stocking, like therapy putty, stress balls, stretchy toys etc.

For Tatum..

This in pink

And then both girls are getting new pink hibiscus/dottie print bedding for their new luau room from pottery barn

and I'm going to get some odds and ends for that (same idea with Drake's bunkbed) and put up some rope light around their bed rails and border the ceiling with raffia.

For Storry..

And then they get little stocking stuffers like glitter crayons, lalaloopsy coloring books, a new book each, cheapy dvds from walmart (like hello kitty and strawberry shortcake).

I managed to save a few bucks with cyber monday (my biggest save was Drake's bedding and solar system which I saved a total of $50 on - and then all the girls dress up clothes I got for $150 (with shoes)) - but overall, I didn't feel I got super great deals or anything. Maybe it's just the regularity of the stuff I chose *kanye shrug*

Random Wantings..

Gonna be another post dump to clear tabs (apparently, I'm no good with favorites lists). Still trying to figure out what I want to call these type of posts.. Oh well, this works for now.

I find myself really liking this floor lamp for some reason. I think it'd look perfect in one of the corners of my living room.

Fake bell peppers for some kind of display/bowl in the kitchen

Placemats from World Market that I like

And it's not so much about this chair but I really like the selection of customization from this furniture store

I love the space saving idea of having stackable recycling containers - 12 gallons and $18.75 ea.

And this, is just like, hella cool. IDK if I'd necessarily need this off the bat but I can see it having it's uses - a portable walkway

aaaaand - that's it for now until I find more crap that piques my interest.
