Hooray for Clean Day

My favorite product purchase this week?
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day!
I was looking to replace my old kitchen hand soap & lotion combo.  We've been using the same system for 3 years and I'm over it.  I really wanted some William Sonoma products, but didn't feel good about spending $40 on soap & lotion.  While shopping at Fred Meyer, I was drawn to the Mrs. Meyer's products, because of the packaging, so I decided to give them a sniff test.  I loved the basil scent the most, and the label just happens to be the perfect color for our kitchen.  Score!  Hard to go wrong with a price tag of $3.99.  Mrs. Meyer's does not have a lotion option (nobody ever used the lotion in our house anyway), so instead we have a bottle of hand soap and a bottle of counter top spray (which has really come in handy) sitting in our soap/lotion tray; it's actually kind of cute.

Merry Christmas

We spent Christmas in Palm Desert with all the Burkholders.  A bright, warm, sunny Christmas was just what the doctor ordered!  It was a fantastic vacation.

Mike & I got an awesome new camera for Christmas, which is what we used to take the above photos. Now we just have to figure out how to use the thing ;)
