Easter Weekend Shenanigans

I mentioned in my first post that I would post Easter things, here we go!!!

Ester weekend was a busy one. B and I rearranged the kitchen, enough to fit our table in there. This means we now have more room in the living room and we've added a couch. We still have major plans for the living room. I'm so excited to start working on the house and incoporating some things I've wanted for my 'real house'. More on that later. Saturday we focused on rearranging the kitchen. We made a platform with wheels and set our trash cans on top and rolled it under the sink. Woohoo space saver.

Before the trash cans were against the wall, taking up space

Now under the sink!

B built that thing with the wheels! So cool, thanks babe :)

For Easter we painted eggs. Sofie did hers with paint and I dyed mine with natural dyes. So fun.

Sofie's Eggs:

Here is Sofie painting them. She had so much fun, we need to paint more!

I'll post more updates soon with the rest of Easter and how I'm doing with the spring clean challange, until then.

Busy Bee

I've got the case of the cleanies! So I've been busy as a bee over here.

Thanks to my lovely friend Kristine I found a blog that has a spring cleaning challenge, take a look here: http://moneysavingmom.com/tag/4-weeks-to-a-more-organized-home
I started the challenge today so I'm on day 1 assignment, I feel pretty good with what I accomplished.

Here is my 'new' morning routine:
Yoga
Shower
Coffee/tea & breakfast
Clean the dang litter box (ew)
get dressed

Pretty easy. Since I work from home I find that most days I stay in my pajamas, but I enjoyed getting dressed today. It was fun picking an outfit that doesn't involve stretchy pants, haha. I was also so proud of myself for getting up early and fitting a short yoga sesh. Felt so good and I'm looking forward to this again tomorrow!

So my week goals: 5 - 10

1. Do 1 creative thing a day
2. Do 1 active thing a day
3. Do 1 spring cleaning from here (a day): http://www.finelyground.net/2012/03/one-day-challenge-spring-cleaning.html
4. Finish 1 crafty project a week
5. Finish 1 house project a week (with Ben)
6. Read a little

So this was way too ambitious, especially with all the do 1 per day items above. Here is how I fared:

1. This blog post is my one creative thing. I was hoping to do something else like knitting or friendship bracelets, oh well.
2. I went to San Francisco for a meeting, so I'll count that as my active thing. I really wanted to make it back in time for a walk with the fam, darn!
3. I did not do a spring cleaning task from above, tomorrow
4. I hope I can finish a crafty project this week, I still need to pick one...
5. For our house project this week I think we will work on the living room or do something in the yard. Last week we rearranged the kitchen.
6. I didn't read :(

I did spend 15 min (more than that) picking up our main living areas; the kitchen and living room. So its ready for some coffee making tomorrow! Whoop.
I also cleaned out my purse = easy peasy

Here is the only picture I was able to capture of today, my outfit. Sorry for the quality, its a camera phone.

Welcome!

Hello! I've created this blog to post updates of what goes on in our little house in the woods. We stay really busy here and I would love to share a glimpse.
This will also be a place for me to do something creative besides work; write about my current obsessions, inspirations, guilty pleasures, and anything else that I want to share.


Its spring so I will be posting pictures of our Easter Weekend as well as some spring cleaning, so stay tuned!
