Corners of My Home - Baby Central


A true "corner." This is an alcove in our family room that is awaiting shelves and a cabinet door. For the past 5 years. It currently houses the "extra" diapers.



The baby's crib is ready and waiting, as of yesterday. This little crib is the same crib that Joe's grandfather (the one with the middle name of Dawson) slept in when he was a baby. All of our children have slept in this crib next to my bed. I love it!

The little bumper pad (which I really don't like) was cut down from a regular size bumper before Taylor was born.

The door way to the right is my adjoining door to the nursery (a.k.a. Spenser's room).



And a peek into the room from our connecting door. (And the clothes in the crib, these are the most recently washed clothes waiting to be put away.)

And today.

I

feel

miserable.

I have a cold. My head hurts. My face hurts. My chest hurts. My throat is sore. And I can't stop sneezing or blowing my nose!

I can't have a baby now! I can't bring a baby home to this germy house! The house I just spent 3 days cleaning!

Please, baby, stay a few more days inside my belly. Please!

Oh no! Poor you! Rest today! Drink lots of O.J. You have to get better fast!
The little cradle is sweet. Your banner looks good too! ;-)
Take it easy today.

I love the little crib! And what a story behind it. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Oh, honey! Get some rest! (As if that's possible with your brood underfoot.)

And great crib and story. We have a bassinette that was first used by my mom and her cousins, then us and all her cousins's kids and now all our kids. It is a basket-type thing with a folding wooden base on wheels. When Aidin was born I made my dad cut a wood bottom because the basket was looking a little dicey.

I hope that you're feeling better soon. If Taylor needs a ride to soccer tomorrow, let me know.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
