Don't you wish you could meet some of the people on Pinterest? Suzy in Minnesota, do your children really eat porkchops slathered in lima beans? Because I don't find that to be a "kid-friendly" meal, but thanks for sharing.
Today I am interested in meeting Michelle. Michelle is a gem of a woman who thinks only about 'Gifts for Josh'. According to her pins, anyway. On the list?
Nikki...this can be yours!
Listen, as stated, I don't know Michelle. Maybe they have a ginormous house and Josh has a man cave. If my husband had a man cave, he could have a hideous team-spirited recliner too.
Or if I loved him more than I obviously do, he could have a normal recliner. But I believe Michelle is that freak-of-nature woman that simply does not mind having a recliner smack in the middle of her family room. She's the kind of woman that loves her husband so much that she thinks about his comfort first and foremost and puts her selfish, shallow, looks-obsessed desires way at the bottom of the heap.
Too bad I'm not like that. My MIL is though, so my husband got a grand taste of recliner life for 9 whole days over the holidays. I started to feel bad that I laid down the anti-recliner laws in our wedding vows.
But lo! Ballard in my mailbox upon return...
If you're familiar with Ballard, you know that you can choose from a million different fabrics and even send in your own. That recliner is completely doable.
And I found that there really are options out there...
Look what this clever lady did with her existing hateful recliner! So so darling.
Somebody pinch me, I even like a Lazy Boy.
This one's not too bad, kinda reminds me of a hospital room chair. But I bet you can find it in a different print.

Of course this lead me through the process of how doing something kind for my husband could actually benefit me in the long run and HELLO. If I introduced a lovely recliner into our family room, then I would not have to consider his comfort when I eventually rid myself of the boat. I could get any couch I want. Maniacal laugh Maniacal laugh Maniacal laugh.
Baylor was laying in bed with us this morning and broke out this little factoid:
"Some engineers build buildings and roads and stuff. And some engineers drive trains."
I think that was a Thomas the Train/Berenstain Bears mashup. This kid is going to ROCK the SATs. He retains information like nobody's business. Now if we could just get him to throw a ball.
