Renewing Kitchen Cabinets

Last month, I was staring at my kitchen cabinets and noticed that they are  starting to look old and faded. The wood behind the cabinet door handles were very worn out. At this dismal economic time and with our finances, getting new cabinets is out of the question. So, I kept staring at our kitchen cabinets and thinking of how I can give them more life.

I decided to take it upon myself and start staining our kitchen cabinets. I know that it will be a lot of work to do this undertaking all on my own. It is a very daunting project and that keeps me staring at our kitchen cabinets.

Yes, We Can

I was at the kitchen busy washing the dishes when my three kids walked out of their bedrooms, chanting “Yes, We Can”. They looked so cute, but I wonder if they know what they’re talking about. I asked them where they heard the “Yes, We Can” and they all said that it’s from the Internet. My oldest child added, “It’s from President Barack Obama”. I went back to my dishes, although now I wish I took my time at that moment to teach them the deeper meaning of what “Yes, We Can” means.

Golden Globe Awards

I watched Entertainment Tonight’s show for the pre and post Golden Globe Awards show. All the actresses were beautiful and wore colorful, designer gowns and huge, sparkling earrings. Just watching them walk and talk was entertainment enough! 

Although all of the actresses were glamorous looking, I always had a critique or two for each actress. Kate Winslett got the “Best Dressed” for a simple black gown. Most of them wore glittery, metallic gowns. I think the Golden Globe Awards for me is about fashion and glam more than an acting award!

Putting Christmas Decorations in Storage

New Year’s Day and the weekend was busy spent partying with families, and putting away the Christmas decorations. We put up an artificial Christmas tree that an old friend gave us many years ago. We have the stockings, snowmen, Santa Claus, Mickey&Minnie skaters, Christmas lights up during the holidays. It took us a little more than half a day to put them back in storage. I didn’t buy any Christmas decorations this year and we still have plenty. It was a fun holiday with bright colors, lights, and my kids were a little sad about putting the Christmas decorations away.
