When life is crazy and and things keep going sideways, I tend to choose ridiculous projects that need to be done right.this.minute. This week’s project was to separate Lego bricks by color. I know. Who in their right mind does this? I would have considered this idea insanity a few years ago, but my boys are growing up and the younger ones think this will help with their building. As for me, I’m hoping it will help them use what we own because I’ve been thisclose to donating the whole lot. (All five boys looked at me in horror when I mentioned it.) Anyway, I bought six of these bins and they’re a great size for this project.
Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers made with our own peppers!
Frugal accomplishment of the week! Our dryer had been consistently making an ear-splitting squealing noise and I had to resort to air-drying the laundry. (I typically do 1-2 loads every day, so this has been a little inconvenient.) We didn’t want to buy a new dryer, so after doing a little research and learning a few things on Youtube, we decided to try to fix it ourselves. And for less than $10, we have a functional (and quiet!) dryer again!
On my nightstand: This Tender Land and Padre Pio: The Stigmatist. I’ve been reading at a snail’s pace, but need to step it up: I have a book club book to start!
My latest find: this vintage brass candle holder. I love the detailing and the place for your thumb. Such a cool piece! I’ve been browsing etsy for another one and have found some options like this one, this one, and this one too!

Good job fixing the dryer yourselves!
