Projects around the house

Well, school just started back for me as of last night. I'm taking a whopping 13 hours this semester. I know I'm crazy for doing so, but I need to finish all 3 of the degrees that I want before I'm 30. So to help get my life organized my mother spent the entire weekend helping me declutter my house and to create a playroom for Piper. The play room turned out exceptional! I'm currently working on 2 art pieces for it to follow with a 3rd and 4th later. I also plan on making some custom curtains for the window as well and I have to paint the dresser in the closet.





Piper's closet was really bare because she has outgrown so many things so a few weekends ago my mom and my sister-in-law went with Piper and I to a local consignment event and completely stocked Piper up for the Fall and Winter with some pieces transitioning into the Spring as well. Her dresser is also extremely full. All of the bins are filled with her clothes for the fall as well. The only thing left to stock up on is shoes and thankfully her foot will be a size 5 by her birthday and our local Family Dollar store carries some cute shoes for $5! I've already gotten her some cute pink leopard print canvas mary janes and some Chucks look alikes in hot pink! As soon as they get more colors in I'll be getting her some more.




This is her playroom!


















She loves going in here everyday! If you can see her pink/green toybox I am making a painting to resemble it along with a polka dot one for the storytime corner where the chair is.










She likes to wander all over the room because she simply can. She is so close to walking by herself! I just can't wait for her to because my back is constantly sore! We will spend about 3 or 4 hours daily just walking all over the house. She now can just hold on to one finger while prancing all over the house.











Since I've started back to school in the evenings Piper has to go to a sitter.......her grandparents, daddy, and Aunt! I love having a supprotive family because they are free! It really takes away my anxiety to know that she's with my in-laws on Mondays, my mom and sister-in-law on Tuesdays, my husband on Wednesdays, and my father on Thursdays. Piper loves getting to go to the grandparents houses!
