Flash Me Friday: Fridge

Front of fridgeThis week’s Flash Me Friday is your fridge.  You can join Flash Me Friday too, check out The Groettum Family blog.

Here is our pretty, shiny fridge. We are very happy with our appliance choices.  Since we bought our house new, we were able to upgrade the appliances and roll the cost into our mortgage.  So much better than the tiny fridge we had in the apartment!

Fridge calendarSince the front of the fridge isn’t magnetic, we keep everything on the sides.  Most important is our weekly meal plan and grocery list. :)

So, despite the fact that we just finished grocery shopping, our fridge still looks empty.  How does this happen?  Our grocery bill wasn’t any less than normal.  This is usually pretty normal for our fridge.  Inside our fridgeWith “Fatboy” in our house we don’t often have leftovers, and if we do they don’t last long.

Lastly, here are some of the things that make our fridge a CF fridge.  Notice several cartons of eggs.  Jesse makes huge ham and cheese omelets in the morning in an effort to start packing in the calories first thing.  Then we have the medicine drawer.  I’m happy if all the medicines are contained here, but occasionally they somehow spread themselves out around the fridge.  And then we have the boost plus.  We try to keep well stocked so he can grab them often to add calories when he isn’t hungry.  We also always have separate milks.  I drink 1% and we buy whole milk for Jesse.

Flash Me Friday: Bathroom

This week’s Flash Me Friday is the bathroom that you use most often.  You can join Flash Me Friday too, check out The Groettum Family blog.

This is our master bath.  We have three bathrooms, but I almost never use the other two.  This was a good week to pick the bathroom picture because our bathroom counter is hardly ever this clean.  The only thing we don’t like about the bathrooms in our house is that there are no drawers.  So, you have to bend down to open the cupboards to get your stuff out.  But other than that there is a lot more storage than we had in the apartment.  We are still working on a paint color.  We (or maybe just me) are very slow paint color choosers.  Also, notice how the clock is right there to help me realize what time it is while I’m getting ready.  Somehow it usually doesn’t help though.  It always takes me longer than I think it will to finish getting ready.  That still drives Jesse crazy, but he is learning to be much more patient with me about that.

Flash Me Friday: Outside

Today is week one of Flash Me Friday.  What a fun idea from Jen at The Groettum Family blog.  Each week we get to be nosy and see how other people live.  You have to take a picture of somewhere in your home without any cleaning or organizing at all.  This week starts out not too personal with an outside picture.  I wonder what more we will see in the weeks to come?  Click here to read the rules, and join in!

Our House Outside

So, this is our home.  We’ve lived here for almost two years now, and we love it.
