We had our first bath tonight ... I always enjoyed that nice big white watering bowl - until now!! It gets you really wet! I must say though our fur is super fluffy and we smell fabulous now! I guess it was time to wash some of the travel we've been through.  (Streets of San Miguel, SPA [shelter], Mexico home, Guelph, Toronto) Yup ... it was time!

As seen in Real Simple Magazine.

The girl loves this magazine .. personally I would love to shred it to pieces ... the recycled paper just seems like the perfect way to a pedicure! Anyway .. here's the tip the girl wants to share with you:
Linen Closet Disasters Averted!

Wash everything in the closet (it probably needs to be done anyway)

Toss out items that are holey (or cut them into usable rags)

Put together all your sheet sets into sets. Fold neatly.  Pack the matching sheets in one of the matching pillow cases.  Now all you see are neat stacks of pillow cases rather than loose sheets flying everywhere.  They're really easy to take out - and you will never have to search for that lost pillow case.  If you wish to keep them freshly scented, add in a dryer sheet in along with the sheets. 

With the mismatched sets - donate them to the Salvation Army or local charity.

So the girl is in full 'nesting' mode she calls it ... getting ready for something she refers to as "our non-fur sister" ... what ever that means! Anyway, the wall in our once all beige home is now a soft blue/gray tone.  The boy and girl think it looks lovely, as do Luna and I.

The paint went up very quickly ... and so I would like to recommend people try out Valspar paint, which is available at Lowes.

As a bonus ... the girl and her designer friend have stumbled across the newest colours at Lowes, all designed by their favourite designer, Sarah Richardson.  Although the colours are made for Para, they are still available in Valspar!
