Spare time. :)

Been a little busy with the crafting and organizing lately, since I've been able to stay at home the last week or so. I'm loving spending sweet time with the hubby and baby... but also, if you know me, you know I LOVE me some crafting and organizing.

First, I finally finished covering the coffee table to make it a little more cozy. It's fun to have something we can rest our feet on now that doesn't leave little marks in the backs of our ankles after 3 minutes. :)

Then I finished touching up the paint in the bedroom. We painted before we moved in, but all the white pin-striping needed a touch up! It was pretty tedious, but I love our bedroom. I also added a quote from our wedding. It was a cheap way to add a personal touch to the walls, and so easy to paint over if we decide we don't like it some day!





Lastly, and I actually enjoyed this WAY more than I will ever admit.... I finally got my filing cabinet under control. How, you ask? Well, I'll tell you:
1. Filed the 2 foot high stack of papers as best as I could. Realized that I had a ton of old junk in there and a few duplicate folders.
2. Pulled EVERYTHING out of the cabinet and put it into stacks of similar folders. ie. "Financial", "medical", etc.
3. Got rid of a ton of old papers and the duplicate folders.
4. Relabeled folders as needed and prioritized them within their categories.
5. Labeled and alphabetized the categories. (I used red paper for the main categories so it would stand out a little)
6. Put everything back into the cabinet!




Wala. (Or however you spell that in French).

Tomorrow I may try to post a blog on a few of our recent crafts... if I'm feeling ambitious.

Right now I'm going to try to sleep. Just spent about 2 hours cleaning up after a very sick little girl. All I will say is that her stomach holds SIGNIFICANTLY more than I would have ever imagined. Never have I been so happy for a washing machine and a hot shower.
Goodnight all.
