I will literally catch myself saying “OK, I’m going to put the baby down and then I have 20 seconds to get this dishwasher unloaded before he starts fussing, so just be aware of that and focus, OK?” It’s funny….. but it’s also really not.
I bought some cheap flowers the other day to make the house feel a little happier and the time was right!.I made sure the little plug in the bottom was in tightly and filled it up with a bit of water.

If you try this out, double-check that your plug fits tightly, or place the “vase” on a little plate, just to be sure you don’t have any leaks..It only took a few stems and it makes for a nice little arrangement.Kind of like a built-in flower frog.

Do people even know what those are any more?.Anyway, there you have it!

It’s a pretty neat trick, right?.

Maybe even a little stark?That’s OK, that just means I’ll have no choice but to have lots of fun bringing in some character and color.
I’ll take that over dark and depressing any day!.A bright new wall is a great excuse to finally bring out my favorite Summertime vase!.
