You’d never know that these weren’t brand new now and you’ll easily save yourself $50 on replacing a whole room’s worth of covers.
The cat litter didn’t get changed once.Overnight bags from Kennedy’s stay at her Grandma’s didn’t get unpacked for three days.
I don’t even want to know what kind of stuff they ate for dinner (or if the pets ate dinner at all).No one died, everyone was happy, but it’s not something that I personally want to live through if I can avoid it..I thought it might help my sanity if I printed out a basic list of what kinds of things I do in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
That way, if I’m all tied up with the baby, and Chris wants to know what needs to get done, I can just point him to my trusty binder with the lists in it, and he can take it from there (theoretically)..The fact that it’s cute will just make me feel super organized and on top of things even if the house is falling apart around me a little.
(That binder is from the Martha Stewart Line available at Staples).
I really loved how the list turned out, so I thought it might be fun to share it with you.So that was our tree cutting adventure!
It cost us about $1600 to have it removed completely so it definitely wasn’t cheap, and it wasn’t the funnest $1600 to spend on our house, but I definitely appreciate not having to feel so terrified of it falling on my bedroom every time there’s a wind storm!We’re pretty big on traditions in our little family, especially during this time of year.We have some traditions that go back ten years to when Kennedy was just a little baby and we lived in a tiny one-bedroom apartment, and then lots of others that we’ve picked up along the way.
It’s great to look back and see just how all of our favorite family holiday activities and traditions have grown and changed over the years, little-by-little, as our lives got busier and we got smarter..When Jack came on the scene two years ago just a few weeks before Christmas, we definitely had to make some changes and updates to some of our favorite “must do every year” activities.
