Winter playtime

It's March already?!

Sox and I enjoyed some time in the yard today before the big snowstorm. We played tug with a stick and a little fetch, when it suited him. I have been inspired by pictures and videos of my friends' new pup, Asha, in South Africa so I needed to show off Sox's skills too. Unfortunately, I've hit technical difficulty as my video is too big, so I'm off to do some editing. See an update later this week!

Into the closet

With organizing being hot on my list, Mike and I finally realized our vision of a working laundry room closet!

I love that Mike put in a light, switch and plugs so that it can truly be a workspace! The extra counter space is a blessing, and has been perfect for the breadmaker, kitchen aid mixer and also as a laundry folding space! Underneath, we found some industrial shelving, and Mike lucked into a rolling kitchen cart on clearance that fits perfectly underneath. The nicest part about the cart is that we can roll it out to be an island if we have company!

Truly, the extra space has been so helpful for cleaning up the kitchen clutter. I don't think I've ever been so happy about going into a closet before!
