What I've Been Priming Lately

 I honestly thought that once the holidays were behind us our Amazon account would get a little break but  both Ian and Evan needed some new school books (you can read about what we added to their year here and here), I had 3 birthdays to buy gifts for in January, and I had quite a few home organization projects that I wanted to tackle and needed supplies for.  

Ian had damaged his 4 wheeler in a small crash in mid- December and needed some new parts to fix it; which we were able to find on Amazon.  Then when I added in the stuff that the boys bought for themselves using Christmas gift cards I realized our account got quite a workout this past month!

Here are some of the highlights:

Our home phone has been having real issues and not working more often than actually working and since we all have cell phones others than Evan we decided to just buy him one and do away with the home phone altogether.  We bought him this Otterbox to protect his new phone.  

I treated myself to this cute sweater for Valentine's day.  I bought it in navy/white and I just love it. 

Though Alec has read this series more times than I could probably count he didn't own book 1, 2, & Darkstalker but he really really wanted them.  So I bought them for him for his birthday.  Now he owns them all and can read them over and over and over again.

I also bought Alec some new sweatpants; we just love that these come in longer lengths and fit him so well!  (I also found Medium Tall sized pajama pants and everyday long sleeved shirts through Kohl's that I bought him which also fit very well).

I re-organized our bathroom closet using these bins.  They were perfectly sized to fit our shelves and I love how the clear container makes it so easy to see everything.

I gave our living/dining room a re-fresh with some new curtains (our old ones were 17 years old!), a couple of new throw pillows (Covers: here, here, Pillow forms: here), and a new tablecloth. 

We needed a new cutting board for the kitchen and a new pineapple corer.  We used our last corer so much we wore out the blade.  I am not even exaggerating when I say that we typically cut up anywhere from 4-6 pineapples a week!  This tool is so darn handy and makes quick work of it. 

Evan bought himself the Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel series (well 3 of the books that make up The Promise saga anyway) & the latest Wings of Fire graphic novel too. 

I bought myself an art book hoping to jump start my creative juices.  Given how much nature inspires my photos I thought I would really enjoy the 365 Days of Art in Nature book. 

I also realized this winter that I missed seeing all the birds that used to come to our window feeder before it broke so I bought a new one and while we are still waiting for the birds to find it I really like how well it is made.
