Quick and dirty update

Guys, I’m so embarrassed that it’s been over two months since I posted!  I simply can’t believe it’s July already.  I have to admit, life has been steamrolling me since I last updated – and I’m desperate for these hard times to be over.  The bulk of my time and energy has been spent with poopy potty training nightmares for the big kid and two-hour nightly wake ups for the little kid.  Give me all the beer!!  To facilitate drinking all the beer, Shaun and I treated ourselves to something we’ve always wanted….a kegerator.   We got this one and are so happy with it!

This miracle appliance fits nicely into the nook in the basement that used to have this hideous mirrored mess of cabinetry that didn’t open properly.  We probably should’ve put a closet there, but….PRIORITIES. 

We plan to build it in with a 15″ cabinet on the left side for glasses (that will just fit perfectly) and a nice quartz counter over the top.  We already have shelves for above and I’m throwing around an accent wall either with paint or tile.  Yes, that will happen in about 5 years!  In the meantime, here is a shot of my mini Summer Shandy that I’m drinking at 1pm on a Saturday while banging out this post.  Yes, I can pour myself a mini draft beer whenever I like, and I can also rest it on my laptop because I’m a savvy shopper.  Some things are fabulous around the Hilton house!

I had another exciting delivery today, and got inspired to take a photo and give you an ‘IOU’ post.  We had 4 yards of premium mulch dumped on our driveway, and you know what that means?  The front landscape is nearly finished!
