Productive Day

I mentioned yesterday how I was so behind on housework because of the great weather luring us outside.  Today was cloudy and much cooler so I took advantage and cleaned like a madwoman while the girls watched entirely too much TV.  I dusted and vacuumed the entire house, cleaned 2 of our 3 bathrooms plus the sink/counter of the 3rd, swept the kitchen floor, picked up/straightened the entire house and did a couple loads of laundry.  Somewhere in there I managed to play a game with the girls as well as color, read a story and play hide and seek.  We did make it out for a quick trip to Target, also.

Paul wasn't home for dinner so I decided to take the night off from cooking.  This was our dinner.  At least I made a big salad to go with it :)



Now I'm relaxing in my nice, clean house, enjoying it while I can, because first thing tomorrow morning it will once again look like a tornado blew through...

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...
