Back in Bama

Well here we are, me and the kids back in Alabama. Trying to get settled in and away from the big city again. I have to say... I've always enjoyed being out in the country, but I sure do miss my husband. He is finally at his end destination of his deployment.. and is getting settled in his work routine. I like that because I know a little better when to expect  him online. I just don't sleep great anymore :( Got the kids sleeping together in one room..and me alone in another:(. 
Hoping this deployment goes by fast. Thank goodness for Skype and the internet.. I don't know how people dealt back when there was no technology.
Pictures from this Sunday morning




One thing I do love is being back at my home church.:)  Always nice to be around good people:)

Packaway boxes review

Packaways is a brand new Storage Box that ships and stores in the flat position. When needed, simply press on opposing corners and the bottom "Automatically" folds into place and locks. When not in use, simply press on the bottom and the box folds back down flat for easy, out of the way storage. Ideal for homes, apartments or living quarters where use is intermitent and space is tight. Many applications: Moving; Back To School; Organizing The Kids' Rooms; Basement or Garage; Seasonal Items, etc. You can color code your things or have the colors match your decor. Proudly made in the U.S.A. from durable corrugated plastic. Great for harsh storage conditions or long-term storage since moisture and humidity won't effect the integrety of the boxes. Will last hundreds of cycles under normal circumstances. Many, many useful applications. Comes with 2 Wipe Away Panels that allow you to conveniently identify the contents of the box. If you use China Dry Erase Markers, you can simply Wipe Away the previous contents and remark the box.

I was very excited to get my packaway boxes! They came just in time since me and my husband were putting everything in storage. Im moving home while he is deployed and spent a lot of time packing things up. My boxes came in a flat cardboard box but they assembled quickly and effortlessly.
I like that they are square like a box and not rounded like those plastic bins with lids. You can pack more things when the whole container is the same shape . The wipeaway panels were very convienent.. This way I can reuse the boxes and write what I change the contents to. I love that they collapse flat when not in use. That means no empty boxes sitting around, I can fold them up and slide them under the bed or stick them in between things. That way they will not be in the way, I wont want to get rid of them, and I will still have them the next time I need them!
I also love that you dont need tape or anything to put these together!
