January Cure: Day 2

Here we are day two ,well actually day 3 ,but who's counting..... oh right, me. Hmmm, well to be honest the second assignment of sweeping and mopping all floors in my house is daunting to say the least. There are still so many boxes, baby supplies, clothing, shoes, and no where to put all of them! And after trying for two days I'm going to have to put this particular assignment on the back burner. The amount of stuff we have amassed is just "cray-cray" as the kids would say. I think that might be losing my mind because of all the clutter.

Clutter, clutter everywhere...

So for this assignment I give myself a D+. There was effort put in, the first floor was completed, but I fizzled out :( I'm definitely going to come back to this once I get some shelving installed. Although I am disappointed that I don't have gleaming hardwood floors throughout the house, I realize it's not the end of the world (sort of). I'll post tomorrow about Day 3 of the Cure, hopefully it won't be throwing out all cardboard boxes cause I would be screwed. See you tomorrow lovies !

And We're Back

Wow, I was gone for quite a while. Did you miss me lovies? Of course you did! While the Holiday season is great fun, it's also a ton of work. Preparing meals for family and extended family can take a lot out of a person. (Even a Superwoman such as myself).  I did have time to make some Christmas decorations, but unfortunately I did not document any of it. It was my daughter's first Christmas and I just couldn't stop taking pictures of her!

Well there's always next year. 

By the way.... Happy New Year! And what a new year it will be. I stumbled upon Apartment Therapy's January Cure and decided to participate. For those of you not in the know, Apartment Therapy emails you a project everyday for the month of January to get your whole house in order. I was SUPER enthusiastic about this as I have not had any time to organize since I got pregnant. As you know from previous posts I have a thing for organization. While I've never been what you would call "organized", I like to think that at heart I'm a professional organizer (it could happen). So for that reason I've decided to chronicle my journey for the month of January! Get excited lovies it's going to be an amazing ride!

Rowhome lovin' happened so fast

See what I did there? So we bought our first home in Baltimore. It’s a 1920s row home that was gutted completely down to the brick and built back up again. As anyone who has bought a new build home may attest to the character is some what...lacking. The trade off was an energy efficient home with an ass load (hey I can say it) of home buying  incentives. Now that we have been in the house for a year the time has come to put our own stamp on this place. In this blog I will chronicle how we go from white walls to a cozy character filled home. For those stumbling across this blog that live in one of Baltimore's beautiful row homes or if you are considering buying a row home I hope that you will find this blog useful and entertaining. That’s all for now!!
