Come On Spring

The snow is gone.  Tomorrow is going to be in the 60s and then Wednesday they are predicting more snow.  The big kids went back to school and Amon had his regularly scheduled therapy this morning.  March is officially here and this month spring will come, we’ll celebrate two birthdays and Amon’s speech therapy will come to an end.  And now I’m crying.  It’s officially marked on our calendar and in just 2 weeks our Monday and Wednesday mornings will be free and we will greatly miss our sweet therapists who have worked so hard with him.  He has come leaps and bounds from completely non-verbal to this weekend tattling on our current little because she dumped out all the diapers.  Geez.  God never ceases to amaze me.

We live in a small house and with that comes learning all kinds of tips and tricks to make our house work better for us and our tribe and less is more.  Over the weekend we cleaned, organized and purged more things.  We finally had the drywall fixed in a few rooms which was a 2015 goal…yes, a goal.  We need motivation around here.  So we got to painting this weekend too.  Josh Kelley and I got started late Friday night…it’s what we do.  We brought in some of my Mom’s furniture and moved things about trying to create more space and it totally worked.  When you only have 2 closets storage and organization is pretty key.

Please marvel at how dusty our blue light shade is.  We’re pretty cleanly around these parts.

And see that beautiful spindly high chair?!?!?  My MIL let me borrow it since our new little one joined us and now I currently have the IKEA website pulled up and 2 of their plastic highchairs in my cart because no matter how hard I try I cannot deal with all the food and grime that gets all over those spindles.  Babies are messy.  Bring on the plastic clean lines.  We had the red one for Amon, but thought I’d get crazy and go with white.

If you have not seen Noonday Collection’s new spring line then you are missing out.  The Tereza Clutch is my new favorite.  If you don’t already have an ambassador go with the amazing Ashley Mills…she’s the best.

I am getting so excited about 2 things: 1. Our Swaziland trip.  It’s on and we are for realz going…hip hip hooray.  We still have 2 spots available if you want to join us.  Email me at pitterpatterart at gmail dot com.

And 2. The March Bible journaling class.  I honestly cannot wait.  Excitement is going nuts in my heart and head.  So excited to fill our house up with woman and talk about the Bible and journaling.  I did have a dream last night I was completely unprepared…tables weren’t even set out and I woke up sweating.  Sigh.

I just found these guys and it made me laugh out loud.  I like to think they are riding a mechanical merry-go-round and trying to just hang on.  Hudson = Lego creator for life.

And sadly, this is the current state of my office.  Gasp.  I know.  I tried getting around to it over the weekend, but we were painting and moving large pieces of furniture and cleaning out.  I’ve got orders in that mess which need to be completed ASAP.  Now if I could just find them 🙂

Good news is I did find this cute little 12 month baseball tee in that mess.  It needs a home.  If you are interested shoot me an email and I’ll ship it out this week. $20 (including shipping)

 Now I’m off to maybe clean that office.

Happy Monday people!
