At my house sometimes you have to get creative.
My hubby can work some long hours and my Anika may not get to see her "da~da~da" as much as she would like to. (Yes, she is 15 and Yes, she calls him "da~da~da" so?) Well on those nights where she doesn't get to see him at all? This is what they do! They have been doing this for months and when one of them forgets...oh boy!!! Now they even have colored markers, every color of the rainbow in that potty of hers (started out with just one dry erase marker)
They have been silly, heartfelt, even angry on occasion.....They have shared and made up. Sometimes I get curious and other times I just stay out of there all together.
Sometimes I can hear one or the other come out of that bathroom giggling. I might get to hear the funny stuff or I might just leave the whole question alone. Sometimes they just HAVE to tell me what's going on and I get the best laughs!
I keep saying I cannot wait to re~do this bathroom after Anika is gone off to college, but I will really miss the pile of markers on the sink. Maybe I should make them a permanant fixture for this bathroom and when she comes home to visit, her and "da~da~da" can write notes again!

Check out my newest pink find! Tiny little pink satin balls on a beautiful garland. I have never seen anything like these before...sure I have seen the big balls and have plenty off them, but these? NEVER!
I purchased these at Maxwell Vintage on ebay. OOOOh you don't know this place? Dare I say it's a little treasure chest of fantastic goodies?
I found some lovely stuff there....like this table runner. I made an offer on it, but my offer was refused! I was sad :(
I got my box today and inside? There was MY beauty...wrapped with care and smelling all sweet.
Thank YOU
So stop over at the blog and be a follower, maybe skip over and see the ebay store? You never know what you may find...make an offer, who knows right?
