What is it about welcoming a new baby that makes us want to have everything in perfect condition? Closets clean and organized, baseboards wiped down, paper essentials stocked up. (Oh, that’s just me? Great!) I also decided this was the perfect time to spruce up the house–painting, repairing all those little things that needed to be fixed before we moved in two years ago, rearranging my pictures on the walls. All fun stuff, right?
Max is such a good supervisor =)
I have really been much more relaxed this time around about getting things ready, but I do have a long list of things I want completed. That list is slowly getting marked off, partly because several of the tasks are not pregnant-woman friendly so they’ve been outsourced (bless my dad and Justin).
Paint nursery.Paint girls room and bathroom.Paint hallway.Paint master bedroom and bathroom.Paint living, dining, kitchen area.- Paint fireplace tiles.
- Replace baseboards as needed. (Max decided those were better than bones….)
- Wash down/paint exterior doors.
- Wash interior doors.
- Paint master bathroom mirror frames.
- Paint bookshelf.
- Baby bedding on bed.
- Recover cushions on rocking chair for the nursery.
- Clean out girls’ closet.
- Clean out MY closet.
- Re-organize the garage.
- Design canvas to hang over the baby bed.
Next week we are out of school on Monday and Tuesday for Fall Break, and we are having a “staycation.” (You know, where you stay home and pretend it’s a vacation? I’m just trying to make it sound more fun, ya’ll.) Hopefully, I can get a good bit of the pregnant-friendly tasks taken care of over the long weekend.
