Saturday I managed to fill 5 trash bags and one box, all items that will be donated to Goodwill. Haven't used it in the past 2 years, we don't need it, so it's leaving my house. Cleaned out the guest bedroom and hall closet and organized all of my crafting things that were suffocating the office. The Hubs is losing his office space temporarily to make room for the nursery, so it's been Operation: Cleanse for a while.
I didn't nest with Mia. I didn't have a house to nest in, so I'm making up for it with this one. Kinding. Well, not really. Just ask the Husband. "Melissa, I'm telling you, you are overdoing it." "Sit down." "You're going to end up on bed rest if you're not careful." "Go take a nap." This was him all day yesterday while I cleaned out the laundry room, cleaned the kitchen and the bathrooms and did laundry while he watched football. Some days I question if he truly believes these things just miraculously happen or if he's just not concerned with them getting done. Such a question. But I wouldn't trade him for the world and he deserves a day off a week, so I don't argue that fact, but the likelihood of me sitting there all day with him is highly unlikely. I need to work on it though because it certainly wouldn't kill me to chill the eff out sometimes.
Annnnnnnnnnnnyyyywhooo....
Saturday is officially game time.
I have a painting day planned. My cousin, sisters and Mom & Dad are coming over to paint and help me with whatnots for the nursery. Mark's taking Mia to dance and then they are having a Daddy/Daughter day so I can have the house to myself.
See, I have this problem. I always have a list of projects that I want to do. That's just my nature, not my problem. But when I get started? That's my problem. I go until it's done. I don't like things to linger. If I start it, I need to finish it. I would like to thank my Dad for that trait.
Want a sneaky peek of the nursery...
Well here you go...
Bedding - Land of Nod
Wall color inspiration
Wall art inspiration
Who better than to make my wall art inspiration come to life than the lovely Kristen of Little Laws Prints. She's so great I can't even find the words. But you'll have to wait on the finished product. AND she's the only one besides me and the Hubs that knows the baby's name.
The rest you'll have to wait for.
Hope you all had a good weekend! Talk to you soon!

Eek! That is one awesome nursery! Can't wait to hear her name:-)
eeek! I love it! Can't wait to see the prints up and framed!
Love the nursery, understand the husband expecting elves to do the work, and am SO jealous that Kristen knows the name!!
I LOVE the nursery... and seriously - it is a GOOD trait to finish things once they've been started. Follow through is something way too many people lack. (I might be one of those people!?)
I can't wait to see the finished product. So far - beautiful!
(Those are the colors - pink and that greeny-blue color that I would want for my wedding colors!!)
That paint color reminds me of what I have in Connor's room right now, which I LOVE. It is so nice and peaceful. A nice alternative to the navy in his duvet and the bright green coming off his train table.
So excited! Since we moved last winter there isn't much nesting to be done, which is a nice bonus :)
I absolutely LOVE blue for a girls room! And with that pink? I love it!
The nursery is going to be perfect!! Love the colours!
Favorite bedding EVERRRR!!!!!! I cannot wait to see it all come together and learn sweet baby girl's name! Don't do too much, Mama!! ;)
