Happy Easter!!!

Hope you have a blessed day!

Take a look at my new "Easter basket!"

Okay, so it's not really a basket but it does hold lots of tasty treats and goodies. This photo was taken just before noon and there was plenty of light, so I am not sure why it is so dark. Milla was in the highchair fussing and I didn't feel like messing around for five minutes to get the perfect shot so here you have it - our new refrigerator!

This stainless steel option is called "ultra-satin" and its main feature is fingerprints go virtually un-noticed on its surface. Notice how there is only one magnet on the front right now? Hopefully, it will stay that way. Our old refrigerator had so much clutter on its doors, it depressed me just to look at it.

Although I love this new refrigerator with its sleek stainless steel appearance, incredibly roomy interior, and - best of all - the "lockout" feature, which comes in quite handy with two very curious toddlers, I'll be totally honest and admit that I really didn't want to spend the money right now, after just having a bunch of remodelling done to our house. Unfortunately though, our old refrigerator kept leaking water out the bottom and with our new laminate floors, it was just too high of a risk to keep the old dinosaur and chance having the floors buckle under it.

The old refrigerator was at least twenty years old - if not older - and was inefficient energy-wise so bothering with a repair didn't make sense. Besides, we had a friend who does a lot of work with his church haul off the old refrigerator and I'm sure he will find a home for it with people whose options are most likely limited to having our old dino fridge or nothing. So, in effect, we really did recycle our refrigerator.
