Home Improvement

During our time in California we made multiple Target and WalMart runs to pick up items that would make our apartment in Tegucigalpa a little homier. So we purchased items like: a table cloth, Lawry's seasoning salt, two 3-lbs. jars of Skippy, 2 large jars of Nutella... and you get the idea. These are all items that can be found in Honduras but are usually a lot more money than they are in the U.S.
I bought the cutest table cloth at Target and I absolutely love what it has done to our apartment!


I was also having a serious problem with my jewelry getting all tangled up; I was keeping all my necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in the same cosmetic bag, this was resulting in me having to spend an extra 2-3 minutes everyday digging in there, finding the right piece for the day and then proceeding to untangle it. Unfortunately I was not able to bring my jewelry chest from home (that would have just been ridiculous). I also am not about to spend 1,000 lempiras on a chest here. So this is what I came up with, I know it's ghetto but it gets the job done :)





On a different note, after rooming with Katie and Aaron for 2 weeks and seeing the way Katie cooks I was inspired!
Since being back I have been on a role!!!!! Hawaiian cheeseburgers, Brazilian Coconut Chicken, Classic Waffles, Chinese chicken salad, and Veggie Stir-Fry over a bed of coconut rice!

  1. Your meals looks fantastic!! Katie has become quite the cook. I attribute it to her having to plan and cook one meal a week over summer break when she was in middle school. I also like all the home improvements. Well done!

  2. Shoooot I'm gonna have to try to make some chinese chicken salad! I definitely have a head of cabbage in my fridge that I bought on a whim.

    And those are really big pins that you put into the wall.
