Snack Time!
I swear that my kids never quit eating. Now, by looking at Madison, you would never guess that. By looking at Will, you probably would. As a mom, it is hard to decide what to give your kids as a snack. I know that I don’t want them eating chips. Right now, my kids are cereal snack freaks. They can easily finishing off a big box of cereal in less than a week due to eating it for breakfast and then snacking on it the rest of the day. I try and pick nonsugary cereals as much as I can (though when daddy goes grocery shopping, he lets Madison pick a box of her own choice which usually is a tad more sugary than I would like). Madison loves vegetable too, so you would think this would be easy. However, the normal things you would find in a veggie tray is off limits for Will (per his doctor). I can’t feed Madison something I can’t give Will. So, in my house, our snacks tend to include cereal, fruit cups, and goldfish crackers. What kind of snacks do you buy for your kids?

My Bathroom Today
Today was not a good day at my house. My toilet overflowed. ALL DAY LONG. No, I didn’t know that there was a turn off switch behind the toilet till about ten minutes before Bill got home from work. Yes, this was in the bathroom that we did the bathroom remodel in. I seriously could have cried the whole time. I tried plunging for over 20 minutes to no avail. Also, for some stupid reason, our toilet kicks in all the time. I don’t know why it does it nor do I know how to make it stop. What I did not realize was that every time it kicks in that it runs water. Sooo, we were leaking water all over the bathroom before I even knew it. Yes, the water made its way downstairs too. I think I ended up wrapping the toilet in something like 20 towels throughout the afternoon. I even drained some of the water using a cup. It was crazy. Bill came home and plunged the stupid thing 4 times and fixed it. I could have screamed!
Now, we installed a new tub in this bathroom. However, we did that mainly, because Bill wanted to add a whirlpool tub. The tub that was in here before we think was the original one put in the house (which would have been in the 1920s). Before we tore it out, we looked at doing a bath tub refinishing project but really couldn’t find any companies who did it. I did like my old tub and a bath tub refinishing would have been nice. However, since we did go with the whirlpool tub, we have been told we greatly improved the value of the bathroom. Seriously, if you were looking at a house, would you want a tub that was flaking paint off or one that was brand new or one that looked nice? That is a no brainer for us, so we replaced the tub as part of the basement remodel.
Now, my mom has back issues and has a hard time getting in and out of tubs. I would love to be able to buy her one of these someday:
This is one of those walk in showers. I think she would absolutely love it. Plus, if you end up selling your home to a family with kids or a senior citizen couple, they would love it too!
What kind of tub do you have in your bathroom?
