Home Work: The Nursery

Is there a better reason to completely overhaul a space than to make a special place to welcome a new baby? This is the very first room in our home I was able to re-do top to bottom and I was so excited.  There is no before picture but it really was a blank canvas.  It's square, and on the small side, approx. 8' x 9', with off white walls and a builder's style ceiling fixture.

Here is what we selected for the Nursery!  Never did I aim to have a theme for the room, in the end it came together all by itself.  I call it a "Woodlands" theme.  To me, the room feels serene and peaceful.  We knew we were having a boy but wanted to keep it gender neutral, just in case.

And here are the after pictures. 



What theme do you like for nursery decor?

You Must Be So Busy

 

That's the other title I was thinking of for this blog. I hear it a lot, whenever I'm out with the kids. I heard it today, even though I was just waiting for an oil change to be done. And I wasn't even that busy. My toddler was behaving himself in the play area and baby girl was snoozing.   Truth is, we're all busy. With family. With work. And don't forget the fun!  That's what this blog is all about. The things that keep us busy, and happy, and in love with life.

Here's what keeps me busy. I have 2 kids. A very active and interested 2 year old boy, and a precious 5 month old girl. I'm working really hard to lose the baby weight, from the 1st and the 2nd. We've been renovating our house, doing most of the work ourselves.  There's also social activities and hobbies to round out our days. Truth is, we love to be busy.

What keeps you busy these days?
