Check List

Since I have been without work, I am trying to accomplish as much as possible before Junior gets here and the summer sneaks up on us. Now I am not a crafty person by nature and my house has more blank walls than walls with something on them, but thanks to many inspiring households, I have decided to get my act in gear and get this home they way I want it!

I had a canvas stained a really pretty brown and have placed a UpperCase Living F Letter on it. I plan to get some ribbon and hang the canvas as you go down the stairs. Next I need to purchase a title from Lowes and place my next expression on it for by the front door. The last two expression I hope to get up today. One will go above the mirror in my vanity in the bedroom (I have to wait to do this once Ella wakes up from her nap in her parent's room!) and the other expression, once i am done with this post, will go by the fireplace downstairs. 

This will be the mass of decorating I do until baby #2 gets here and we make the room moves, with Ella downstairs in the now guest room and Junior in Ella's current room. I have expression in mind for both of these rooms too. I figure it is less work to put up these expressions than to paint the rooms, right?

After this decorating mission, I am back to the wedding, honeymoon, OSU and Ella albums. 

I have sorted through Ella's clothes again and have several things to take to a consignment store, along with items for a upcoming garage sale. I am simplify my home, getting things the way they need to be. I never did it in Mississippi and just let everything sit dormant for the past two years while I have worked and raised Ella. Time to seize the moment and get these things done and prepare myself for number two!! Now please realize, that I am spending about 75 percent of my time with Ella during the day and capitalizing on these mission for a quarter of the day, I want to be able to focus on my children and not leave these unfinished projects unfinished any longer. Plus I am lucky Ella likes to look at the clothes and help as she can with these projects. 

I hope to get these things done, but if not, I am sure they can wait another two or three years, I have a feeling more important things will come along!!
