Back on Track

Wow, I am actually sitting in front of my laptop and writing a blog post. It sort of feels good to finally have the time to sit and get my thoughts out of my head! Since I have the time you are probably assuming that Belle is napping and you would be correct. Some days it's hit or miss but then I always feel like I am playing catch up with house hold chores and the time to sit and babble hits the lower end of the priorities. HOW I MISS HAVING A MAID!!! (hint hint Nate ;) )

After another fast weekend away our little family seems to be back on track. The days are still scorchingly hot and afternoons are spent inside which in turn destroys the house leading full circle. The cleaning never ends.

Weekends at home are spent doing random little projects like the ones planned this weekend: frame the mirrors, paint the spots missed by the painters, hang the clock, organize stuff to sell in consignment and then of course the weekly chores of weeding and yard work. To be honest it feels great to have so many things to do. I get bored easily and would turn into a lump on a log if I didn't have a jam packed schedule.

I guess that I will need to start taking before and after pictures of the projects we do! I stained some unfinished frames today for our 'wall of travel' and I started an acrylic painting to go somewhere in the living room. Nate made me a table to put in the laundry room and I want to stain that as well. It's crazy when you have a house to fill and ideas in your head of what you want but can't find it. That's why we are making so many things! Not to mention how much we can save by doing this :)

Well off to sit still for 15 min before little one wakes up!
