Preparing for baby

With the arrival of baby #5 in 16 weeks, we are making lots of changes in our home.
Here's what's going on:

Added a laundry room: such a blessing this has been!
Cosmetic changes in the kitchen, adding bead board & painting
The boy's are now in one room to make room for baby Olivia.
Improving the boy's closet (I wish we would have taken before pics)
Improving the girl's closet (will definitely take before and after pics)
Painting the living room
LOTS of reorganizing!!!

As the kids are getting older and they are consuming more food, I am having to make changes with food prep and shopping trips. I feel like we have finally crossed the bridge into "a large family". I see that as a challenge. It's fun!!

I am really wanting to replace my 4.5 qt KitchenAid mixer with the 7qt.....it comes with a pretty big price tag...so I will have to wait.

With all that being said, I hope to blog more than what I have been...but what I blog about will be about all kinds of things not just bento.
Merry Christmas from my kitchen to yours!!

All those dirty cups on the counters!

I'm really tired of all the dirty cups in my kitchen! We use to have a colored cup for each kid. But my 8yr old now uses the regular size cups. So our system needs some tweaking! Here is what I came up with:
Drew circles on a place-mat with fabric markers then wrote each family members' name on a circle and "TAAA DAAAA"!!!
I could have planned better and made these really cute. But I just wanted to get it done and not have to buy anything.
Reduce Reuse Recycle!! Save money!!!
