My other love....

I am in love with a chair.
Not just any chair.

The Louis Ghost Chair.

It is gorgeous, and some day I shall own some :)
Not knock-off's either....the real things.


Isn't it the most beautiful chair EVER?!

LOVE it!

It also comes in many different colors :)

{helpful hints}

Just in case you guys have been having the same problems we have been having I decided to share some
helpful hints that have solved these particular problems. :)

First.....
Our bed and the bed skirt don't fit perfectly. Why you ask?
Because the bed skirt if king size and the bed is only full size.
I read this helpful hint somewhere {but I can't remember where}
....
If you suffer from this problem, never fear! There is a solution!
Just grab some safety pins and pin that bed skirt up until it fits your bed perfectly.
TA-DA!

Now we don't have to worry about it getting vacuumed up or getting in our way. Yay!


Second....
After using wrapping paper there is always the problem of keeping it all nice 
and pretty until you need it again. 
My mom is a GENIUS and came up with this helpful hint.
Grab a toilet paper tube, cut a slit down one side and
you've now got a wrapping paper holder!
It keeps your wrapping paper all nice and pretty. :) 

Hope you all are having a great day!

Pictures of our newly organized apartment are coming soon!

So you think you're smarter than a rat.

One benefit to being in the Psychology program is that you get to train rats. I was assigned to work with rat #1 of the USU psych lab. His name is Eugene and he is a very smart rat in some ways and very a stupid one in others.
We're supposed to teach these rats do do a trick and then to only do the trick when a flash light is lit in their training cell. Eugene learned really fast that he was supposed to go through the hoop and look up in order to get his little treat but sometimes he gets frustrated and goes for the more the more feral approach.
Yesterday he was doing great until he noticed my hand was holding the flash light over his cell. He thought in his head "hmm, flashlight=food, bite flashlight!" unfortunately my hand was infront of the flash light and that is what his little yellow teeth caught hold of. I admit it hurt and it bled a bit but what really shocked me was how my hand looked after riding my bake to work.
I don't get queezy at the sight of blood but apparently i can't stand the smell of the iron in it. I guess I would fail miserably as a vampire.

Jake, don't bit the hand that feeds you.

its time for spring! {new look}

I don't know about you guys but I am ready for spring!
Logan has been having some nice warm weather lately {mixed in with some not-so-nice days} 
and so I decided to change the look of our blog once again to match the season.

Lets hope that the weather keeps getting better from here on out! :)


I have always wanted mini headers for the things on our sidebar and this time I finally 
got around to making some.

There might be a few others ones coming in the next day or two.
maybe.
