My Ida-home

When we were looking for a house in Idaho, we prayed that we would find the place we were supposed to be because it would be easy. I know this is not normally how it works, but it was what we needed and we were very blessed to get it. We love our house and our land-ladies and we have a good ward.

Let me show you around!

We live in the corner house of a short cul-de-sac. The boys will finally have a safe place to bike ride nearby!

Here is my kitchen! It's way bigger than my Oklahoma galley. And you can see the post-it notes that show which cabinet holds what. (A great trick for after you move, or when a mother/in-law comes to help out)

Here is the boys' room. I got it super-ultra-mega organized last month as we were unpacking all the books, toys, books, dinosaurs, and books. The maintenance has been pretty-good so far.

My new favorite spot in the house is our front bay window, which has a wooden ledge and lots of light for reading. Toss a couple of pillows up there and we can be content for hours.

This is the boys' bathroom. It's bigger than mine and I'm a little jealous of their skylight. Note: the laundry trap door.

My bathroom: so small I had to install an over-the-potty shelf. Note: the laundry trap door.

The house is only one floor, so the little laundry door system isn't a laundry "chute" per se. It's more like the laundry drops 1.5 feet into my small basket in my laundry room. And I put towels on the shelf above the trap doors in case I get stuck after my shower with no towel. I can just open the trap door and reach up and get one! Also Frederick can use the trap door to talk to me when I'm on the potty... which I'm not fond of doing.

This is the nice fenced yard viewed from the patio.

We do like our house!
