Well, the cradle was getting piled high with hand-me-down baby gear, and our room had become more of a garage/attic/storage area than a bedroom lately. I felt like the walls were closing in on me! This weekend, I decided I just couldn't take it anymore, so Jeremy and I worked together all Sunday afternoon and accomplished so much!! We...
- Moved box upon box to the "community attic" at our apartment complex
- Donated 4 bags of clothes and household items to Goodwill
- Purged 2 bags of accumulated JUNK
- Cleared out 1/2 of a closet (which is 1/4 of our apartment's TOTAL closet space!)
- Removed the accordion doors from the closet and stored them in the "community attic"
- Turned an unused corner into a hidden storage area
- Decorated for Christmas (then promptly stored extra Christmas items :)
- GAVE BABY GIRL 1/2 OF A CLOSET!!
It finally feels like our home is a home again, and I am so glad! I guess that feeling of organization and accomplishment has me raring to go with my other little works-in-progress, because now I want tackle them, as well! We'll call them "nesting" projects since I am VERY motivated to complete them due to the pregnancy. :)
In no particular order...
- Jeremy's BCD mini-scrapbook
- Address book update and upload to Microsoft for label-printing
- Wedding memory album (It's only been 4 years. :)
- 2 holes to stitch: my cardigan and Jeremy's t-shirt
- Christmas cards
- Screen saver and framed picture update around our place
- Take a few maternity snapshots with Momma (hopefully include in Christmas cards!)
- TRY to make a few casseroles and other meals to freeze for after Baby Girl arrives
- Baby book
