Little League

I think I just volunteered to coach Oakley's soccer team....

A Parks and Rec employee called me while I was still in my sleepy phase and told me they were short on coaches, so of course, my mouth thought it would be a good idea to blurt out, "Sure! My husband and I both played in high school!"

What could possibly go wrong?

(Any advice for coaching a team of four year olds would be appreciated!)

Curtain Fix-Up

Several months ago, our dog, Rocket, had chewed a hole in our bedroom curtains. I wasn't sure how to patch up the hole since the curtains are kind of sheer, and was lazy and left it for a bit. Then Rocket tried to fit his head through the hole, and then his whole body, and the curtain just was in a sad state.
I'm not sure why I felt so reluctant to just toss them since I paid a whopping $10 for them (Target clearance!) but I was determined to try and fix them.

For about $5 in fabric, and an hour's worth of work...

Luckily, the hole had stretched across horizontally, and not vertically. I chopped off the bottom 12 inches, and just made a panel out of a linen type fabric that matches our neutral wall in the master bedroom.


I'm very pleased with the results!
