Here and There

Yummy Apple

Today is an explosion of energy. I tackled a wide range if projects around the house and Nattie ran circles in front of me, behind me, beside me...you get it. She wanted to partake.

She crawled in cabinets. I removed the knob/pull. I'm tired of that game. She threw food off her highchair and giggled as the dogs ate her snacks. While moving plants to a Nattie free zone, she would walk slowly in front to nearly trip me. All of this with a smile. When I'm busy, she loves it. 

Last week was a busy one as well. I finally mustered up the energy to remove the last bit of wallpaper from our house. It had been painted over, but the bedroom smelled of mildew. Sure enough, wallpaper was removed and so was the odor. Yay! 

Here is a before and after. A real after of the space completed will come soon. Some large furniture needs to be moved in here.

Wallpaper removed and patched

Not quite done

In addition to having energy to remodel a bedroom, I'm attempting to make Natalie's first birthday cake! So excited to give it a try. It has been a few years since I did any real decorating. Should be a hoot.
