We painted stripes on an accent wall in my 5 year old's bedroom a few weeks ago. He's smitten and really enjoys showing it off to friends. Sometimes he'll invite me to come play in there so we can look at the stripes! I love how they turned out too.

I think it's important to wait to take your first bite until your host begins eating. Unless of course they invite you to begin without them. I think it's a nice curtesy to be patient. Good posture and no cell phones is also important. So which way to pass the rolls? Pass left or pass right?

We love to smother chicken breasts in the crock pot with salsa. When you come home the meat falls apart and you can use it to make any number of Mexican meals.

We just bought a house with a yellow accent wall - I HATE it and can't wait for the time to paint over it.

Our last house has dark chocolate brown ceilings in one bedroom and lime green in another.... awful! I painted over the brown 3 times and when we moved I could still see traces peeking through in the right light.
