Getting Our Feet Wet...

So, we have decided to homeschool Elijah for preschool. I dived right in by doing tons and tons of research into what would be the best route for him (and me) to teach him all he needs to know. We decided to go with the Weaver Interlock program and the Horizon Phonics and Reading program. I got everything in the mail yesterday and it all looks wonderful. Everything is supplied except for basics (craft paper, glue, child scissors, etc.) After going through everything last night, I sat down this morning and wrote down the next three weeks worth of lessons into my Busy Body Book. I'm in LOVE with this book and here's why.

Laundry update!

My last post was about what I was going to do with the laundry room. I  have decided! I'm going to go with YELLOW! Exciting! I'm going to go with a shade that is called "Hint of Honey" My computer makes it look a shade lighter then it really is, so yours might too. We are going to wait until it's summer here to paint, since it's such a small room and the window really needs to be opened while painting. So, snow melt so I can paint!!! I did some cleaning up in there and here is an updated photo.

Not to different, but as you can see, I  was not able to turn the washer/dryer, as the plug is to short! Oh well. I did get this nifty new laundry sorter though. I'm LOVING it! The sorters are the perfect size for one load of laundry.Now when it's full  it's time to wash a load of laundry. Easy. The top is an ironing board and it also folds up for easy access to the sorters. I'm thinking of getting another one to replace my old one that is conveniently hiding and not in the photo. It's held together by bungee cords...so sad :(

Laundry Room...

...Sorting through life one load at a time

I love that saying! I'm needing everyone's input. I have decided that the laundry room needs a makeover and I have narrowed it down to two colors and can't decided which one! This is where you all come in. Here are my idea photos and  you let me know which you like. First, photos of my current laundry room. Ignore the mess, this is why it needs a makeover! 

Messy...clean clothes that need to be put away...I'm thinking of turning the washer/dryer and then getting a white desk/table to go under the shelving (which will be gone or raised up higher). Under the desk/table will have our three mesh clothes sorter.

And here is this strange cubby in the laundry room. It's 38 1/2" deep and 22" wide. I'm at a loss at what I want to do here, other then some sort of shelves is a must, oh and white. Can you tell the accent in this room is white?

I found this pantry photo and I love the gray with the white detail. I'm thinking if I go with the gray, I'll do a similar print on the back wall where the window is.

And here is the yellow. Very pretty and bright. Once again, print on the back wall with the window.

Which would you do? I think both would do a good job of brightening up the laundry room. Decisions, decisions. Also, any ideas for that weird cubby I have?
