Repurposing

In one of my favorite magazines, Real Simple, there is a section entitled: "New Uses for Old Things".  For instance, you can use a Lifesaver to hold a birthday candle in place; spaghetti can be used as a candle lighter (I need to try this!); and you can repurpose an empty tissue box to hold plastic bags. I enjoy these helpful tidbits and employ some of them.

But I'm not the only one in my house who has found new uses for old things:

Meaghan has turned our treadmill into her display shelf. (Of course my husband is just happy someone is using the treadmill...even if it is as a sort of trophy case.) And don't worry, my girl still has purses and bags and backpacks and nooks and crannies filled with stuff, too. The girl has taken over. She's a hoot in more ways than one.

What? You haven't heard? Yes, every princess needs pink swim goggles to wear to bed.
