A Few Last Minute TJ's & Costco Finds

 We're in the home stretch now...just a few more days until Christmas. Are you ready?  I found a few last minute things at Trader Joe's and Costco that will help us out this season.

We already tried this Grand Reserve cabenet and it was delicious.

Some bubbly for Christmas brunch and New Year's Eve.

Sweets!  We're going to try their stollen for Christmas morning breakfast.

A few frozen meals and hash browns for Christmas morning breakfast.

Gotta have balance, people! A few healthy fridge items in the bunch.

We loved this huge fusilli paired with the vegan pesto.

We've been brewing this coffee and loving it.

We're entertaining a few times this week so we picked up this party pack from Costco.

I also grabbed these soy candles at Costco.  They are two very nice scents with great throw and how pretty are the containers?  

How are you holiday preparations coming along?

Costco Holiday Haul

It feels like the holiday season once I see the live wreaths at Costco. They are usually in stock by Thanksgiving weekend.

They are always really nice quality for a great price.  They smell amazing too!

Their ribbon is another great deal. I like to buy a new spool every year and I always have leftover ribbon.  I went with this gorgeous peacock themed one this year.

We already got their wine advent calendar but when we saw the 12 Days of Cabernet, we couldn't pass it up.  Mr. Click loves a good cab!

I found this holiday hand soap collection early in the season but it's still in stock at my store. 

Now onto some staples. I picked up this big bag of almond flour. Julie has recommended it and we plan on doing some gluten free baking this season so I'm sure it will be used up.

I was so excited to find this dairy free buffalo sauce!!  I haven't seen it in the grocery store yet.  It is so good on bowls, veggies, tacos and wraps.  It definitely has a spicy kick.

We tried a new coffee and we're really enjoying it.

This was a great deal on coconut milk. I split it with College Girl.

I desperately needed some new workout socks (you can see my old ones in this photo!).

We had to replace our toaster oven after our recent Kitchen Disaster so we were happy to find this Cuisinart Toaster Oven/Air Fryer. We've been loving the upgrade!

This sounded like a good idea for our back porch. It will be nice to have a bright flood light and camera back there! 

What have you found at Costco lately?

{The Abode} Disaster to Home Improvement

We woke up at 4 am to our refrigerator water line spraying out all over the kitchen.  We turned off the water but it had already leaked through to the basement and office below.   I called in a restoration company to help us deal with the water. They were quick and so helpful in getting the wet stuff out of the house and drying out the rooms.  We then had to start the process of redoing all of the affected rooms.

This was the office with the rugs pulled up and wet drywall cut out.

The basement family room.

The kitchen and adjoining family room had warped floor boards.

We were very lucky that our flooring company could replace the floors and had them in stock to match our recently replaced living and dining room floors.

It definitely got worse before it got better. The subfloors were still damp so the fans had to come back in for another week or so.

Meanwhile the basement was getting a "glow up".  We picked new vinyl flooring in Cocoa and had the walls painted in Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace

We ordered a new rug that I love.

Swoon!

The finished kitchen flooring!

Now onto the family room. That also had to be dried out longer than expected.

The finished flooring was worth the wait.

 

Even our old rug looks nice on the new floors.  I'm so glad the work is finished and we have our house back looking better than ever!!
