We had no problem getting up at 6.30am this morning and quickly slipped back in to our morning routine . . . waffles for breakfast, then up stairs to get ready, put on new clothes and shoes, carry new 'Justin Bieber' backpack, and take photos before we drive to school! I think it's going to be a great year!
The question now is, "what will I do all day, every day?" ;-) Ha! no worries there, I've always found plenty to fill my day til 3.30pm when Kiki gets home. Today I need to go to Target and return the chair slip covers I got. There's nothing wrong with them, but I ordered one from Walmart at the same time too to see if it was just as good a quality. I wasn't expecting it to be because the slip covers on Walmart's site were $8 cheaper than the Target ones. Guess what? They are the EXACT SAME slip covers!!! Same brand, same quality, SO, I'm taking Target's back (which were $17.99 each) and ordering more from Walmart (which were only $10.99 each) - it obviously pays to shop around!
Still on the dining room subject, I actually received the chandelier last week that Susan had suggested on my Inspiration Board. BUT, I'm returning it :-( I was shocked when I got it and saw that the candle sconces on it were not at equal distance apart! There's only 3 candles on it, this is the chandelier,
Now, don't those candles look like they are equal distance apart? Symmetrical? Two candles were at one end, only 6" apart, and the third candle was about 10" away from those two? It just didn't look right at all to me. I called the company and the lady said from the pictures she could see (and she said she's looking at a LOT of them!) it looks like two candles are closer to each other?!!! Errrr, Hello! It might be helpful to put those other pictures on your website!! This is the only photo on there, and if I'd seen that the candles were not equal, I would not have ordered this. Shame really, because I really loved the crystal on it. So, now I have to ship it back. It cost $30 for shipping to me, and probably will cost $20 to return, so I've spent $50 with nothing to show for it - I'm totally BUMMED :-(
I won't be ordering any more big items on line that's for sure. I'll have to look around the stores and see if I can find something similar.
Well, I'm jumping off here, going to get ready to head out to Target. Hope you all have a great day.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe the candles were spaced so weirdly! What a pain.
KiKi looks adorable! I hope she has a wonderful first day.
Enjoy your day! I always keep myself busy when Lindsey is in school. Sometimes I run out of time!
Kristen looks SO cute, I love her outfit!! Mine wore uniforms except for the first week of school and they loved dressing up! I hope she enjoys 5th grade!!
Hooray on the slipcovers, but boo on the light fixture. It has me mystified, too. I hate shipping back large items, too, but I have been lucky in that department.
Have a great day!
XO,

Best of luck on your sweetie's first day and new school year! And good luck with the dining room project!
LOVE that outfit... she is so stylin!
My baby started junior high today... YIKES! Happy First Day of School to everyone!
What a stylish outfit...love it!! She's so pretty, just like her mommy. I hope she has a wonderful day back to school. Mine don't go back till the 7th. Enjoy your project...those are always fun! =) XO ~Liz
What an adorable first day of school outfit. Kirsten is certainly a fashionista.
I became a stay at home princess with hubby's last job transfer and amazingly, I'm busy all day every day and do not miss the stress of being in the workplace. I like my time being less structured. Don't worry about your time while Kirsten is in school - you'll be busy.
Kristen looks so cute! I hope her first day goes great :)
Good to know about the slipcovers being the same at Walmart. It definitely pays to shop around--way to go!
I've been out of the blogging loop for a while now. I've been out of town off and on most of the past month, but I'm back in Vegas now and don't plan on taking anymore trips for a while. I had a lot of fun, but I'm beat!
Hope you guys have a great week!
Those are DARLING photos of Kiki! I know you're proud of her. She's such a cute girl--just like her mom!
