My Little Blogging Corner

With Grace spending less time in her pack and play and more time running around the house, it was no longer easy for me to blog in the guest room.  Even though we live in a small rancher, I still felt far away from my very curious toddler!  Especially after she broke my big Pyrex bowl a couple of months ago!  Shattered glass everywhere when she pulled it off the kitchen table! 

Since we bought the new laptop, I no longer have to try to find time to blog from the guest room.  But, as I said, Grace is very curious and tries to play with the keyboard if I try to sit on the sofa with the laptop. 

I set myself up with a little workstation in the corner of my kitchen!

Originally, my microwave lived in that spot, but it wasn't a very convenient location.  So I got rid of my dish drainer thingy sacrificed what little counter space I have in the kitchen and relocated the microwave next to the sink.

The work space is counter height and the electric socket is also high enough that Grace won't pull at the cords! 

I was using my vintage step stool to sit on, but after sitting on it for a bit, I realized that it was very wobbly and that the screws need to be tightened on it!  So, I swiped Joe's stool from the garage (left by the previous owners).  This is just temporary until I save up for a new counter stool.  Maybe one with a vintage/diner look!  With a padded seat! 

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to show you my little corner of the house! 

See that bare wall?  I'll be working on a project to hang on that wall very soon!  Well, as soon as I find someone to keep Grace busy so I can work on it!  I'll keep you posted!  :)   

Don't forget to enter my current giveaways posted at the top of the page....they end on November 15th!

  1. Dixie cups. Give her a bunch of dixie cups. My little ones love them. As long as she's not a chewer and would inhale them, that wouldn't be good. Mine love to stack them, put them inside each other, line them up, whatever. They are awesome. :-)
