I literally didn't know I was missing something so huge in my life until I got this bad boy for Christmas (Thanks Aunt Colleen!). The SimpleHuman Sensor Mirror. How the heck did I ever pluck my eyebrows without this? How did I apply any sort of makeup without this? It is seriously so freaking amazing. It turns itself on when you sit in front of it, and then back off when you move away. The LED lights are the best. It plugs in the wall to recharge and lasts about 5 weeks between charges. It LOOKS cool sitting...

 It's been pretttttty cold here, as I think most of us are dealing with. But we bundled up yesterday (before it got too cold out) and played in the snow for a while. Besides that, we've pretty much been stuck in the house for over two days and i'm starting to get stir crazy. My car is currently covered in prob 6-8 inches of snow and does not look inviting, at all.  I rearranged our bedroom and made P a little area of his own...kinda hard to tell in this pic, but it's awesome and P is enjoying...
