May 24 {to-do}


My to-do list today was sizable!  And checked off for the most part by 10 am!

  • Paint Maxine's changing table & accessories
  • Sort through Cole's clothes to get rid of too small clothes
  • Clean toilets
  • Walmart
  • Cole haircut (and following bath to remedy the itchies)
  • Get paintings from basement - paint frames
  • Cut fruit & veggies (there were tons in the fridge just waiting!)
  • Hang things in Max's room
  • Finish Max's room!
So, it may not seem that big....but, I did all of these things while caring and feeding for two children (and myself).

Here's the finished product for Maxine's room, all girled up!

I made these using modge podge, Amy Butler fabric, some hemp twine, and stretched canvas.

I made these using the Amy Butler fabric (a quilter's pack), wooden letters, and modge podge.

Derek hung her shelf and I strung some colored twine with clothespins for an "inspiration wall."

Maxine's crib...which before was Cole's crib...which before that was Derek's crib.  Same bedding as Cole.

more of my homemade "art"

painting by Barbara Keith - Derek's dad's first wife's mother (clear enough?!), frame painted to coordinate with changing table and other accessories in the room.

changing table painted for some color & personality.  Wall decal ordered from amazon, super cheap.

with adorable girl, comes adorable girl stuff, accessories, hooter hiders, wraps & slings, diaper bags, etc...  Birdie hooks keep things organized behind the door.

I had so much fun decorating to make Max's room girlie!  Turns out the decor is almost as fun as the clothing for girls!
