So blogging hasn't gone the way I'd like so far. In a way I wish I had discovered this before the boys were born because this is the kind of thing I love and would have had so much leisurely time to dedicate to it. These days leisure is a foreign concept. Right now Im DIY'ing some but don't seem to be able to take photos of the projects. For some reason I end up with hundreds of photos of babies but no projects. For instance I keep meaning to take photos of the kitchen and it hasn't happened. Fail…. wonk wonk.
My pace is a lot slower than it used to be…. and that's ok. It just means I'm posting once or twice a month instead of 3 times a week like I'd hoped. I don't mean to complain Im just sounding off about the difference between what I'd like to accomplish and what I have the actual time to do.
I think that will change as things get settled or more settled and I get into a good routine. I've been working on preparations for the boys first birthday… 1 year already!!! Where has the time gone? To say I've been a little obsessed is being kind. I have been surfing the web like a mad women to find the perfect theme and then using Pinterest to get ideas for bringing that theme to life. I think I've enjoyed the planning more than anyone will enjoy the actual party. Is that weird? I don't think so either. Celebrating my boys makes me incredibly happy and I can't wait to have friends and family over to see our new house for the first time.
I've also been working in the yard and around the outside of the house. Weeding has taken over my life! Im out there for an hour at least 2-3 times a week. It's very therapeutic but also frustrating how quickly they come back. In my experience that first year with new flower beds is always the hardest. Keeping the bed clear of the invasive suckers is serious work. After that it seems like you don't have to work so hard to keep them clear. I should have used the plastic under the mulch and could kick myself for it but it's too late now. Although as things fill out I'll have to slide things around a little so it looks good. I always have to move my plants a couple of times if not more. I have a vision but need to make some tweeks here and there as they grow.
