Finally a Nice Day

After a week of cold, rainy and snowy weather we finally have had a few days of warm sunshine! Yesterday I decided that instead of doing my 30 Day Shred workout after breakfast I would move up our usual afternoon walk and then use the afternoon to just play outside instead. Around 9:30 I put the girls in their cribs so I could make the bed and get dressed and when I went to get them Olivia was asleep! Weird, as they have been down to one nap from 11:30ish until 2:00ish for quite some time now. So, instead of going for a walk Kayley and I just had some good one-on-one time and when she went down for her nap at the normal time, Olivia woke up. I thought I was doomed to a no nap-overlap, no-break-for-mommy kind of day, but for some reason Kayley only slept for a half hour, meaning they would both need another nap later in the afternoon. We ended up finally going for our walk around 12:30 and then playing in the yard for awhile after that.

Today they are back on their normal nap schedule and we walked this morning after breakfast and will play in the yard when they wake up. It's so nice being a stay-at-home mom on days like this! I love it!

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer! 5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago). It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old. I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year. I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it. It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods. So pretty.

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours. Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over. We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins. I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do. They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white. It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side. I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done. We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains. We're also going to paint. I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
