Nesting

For those unfamiliar with the odd swings and patterns of pregnancy, "nesting" refers to an expectant mother’s instinct to prepare her home for baby. It actually gives a surge of energy which propels her to clean and do various chores around the home. It is very real and it is something that those around the momma just have to get on board with or get out of the way of. Thankfully, I have an incredibly helpful husband as a partner. I can point him in a direction and leave him alone until he finishes the job. This weekend the biggest job was assembling furniture!
 

A nice little assistant- excuse the crappy phone photo!
 
We have a cozy little house so we'll all have to adjust to make room for baby girl. As long as she'll fit in the bassinet, she'll stay in our room. After that, she and Julian will share until we can do the addition. That's a few years in coming, so for the time being, it's close quarters. Julian has an armoire so we barely use his closet. Really the best use of that space was to put Jane's dresser and supplies in it instead. It took a bit of work to get that all together, but it's done and everything is laundered and put away. I feel relieved that it's done. We still have to move a few things around in our room and clean, clean, clean, but we're in good shape should the little miss arrive early.
Love all the cute dresses & outifts and having them all hung up on display!


Messy Messy

My stressful mess...


This is what an eBay week looks like. It drives me nuts for my business stuff to overflow and get all over the house, but really this house is way too small to run any sort of business out of. Hopefully most of this pile will sell. I've decided not to buy or shop for any more inventory until I get my living spaces back. 

The sad thing is if I let go of all the baby stuff, I'd have room. I'm worried that as soon as I do though, something will happen that we would need it. Maybe that's wishful thinking. When we got all that stuff, we got really good quality because we expected to use it for more than just one baby. =(

Clean Up, Clean Up, Everybody Clean Up!

Don't forget to dust me!


   Last week I worked hard on getting my jewelry shop updated. Things got a little... scuzzy around here. I'm only one person. My attention is already split because I have a 4 year old to look after. When I'm doing that and working on another project, something has to give and it's usually the house. So this week it's the house's turn to get some attention. 
   
   I really need a studio or at least storage room. It's hard to maintain multiple online shops and keep everything tucked away in our nook of a dining room. It drives me nuts! So tonight I just started going through everything and sorting what absolutely had to stay in the house and what could temporarily stay out in the hot and humid and spidery garage. I feel better already.

¡CĂ­nco de Mayo!

Cinco de Mayo 2012~

Pinata madness


We fiested hard this year! Jason's company picnic was such a rager that they wanted the employees families to come too. A corporate company actually wanting to include employee's spouses and kids- bonkers! Anyway, we hit that hard and then got out of there before it got lame.

My vacuum was feeling left out so when we got home, I busted her out and let her do her thing. Then Jason and I paired up and double-teamed the kitchen. Then the bathroom got it too.Then I did the front porch. Quick naps were needed to recoup before we hit the town again.

Now it gets loco... The Avengers in St. Pete at the same time as a Ray's game! Traffic was off the hizzy, as was parking, but we just crunked our way through it. The movie was amazing! I want to watch it again. Right now. In 3D. Afterwards, when we left the theater, the City of St. Pete kept the movie feel going by setting off fireworks. Nice of 'em!

So anyway, there ya go, our awesome Cinco de Mayo...
