Unless Chris gets a burst of energy one day and decides to make me the fake armoire that is.
I was worried about this last year, but we soon discovered that they all blow out into the fields, so we just enjoy them while they’re here..So what I’ve really been doing are just little things, but often things that I would just not get to until Spring because they didn’t seem big enough to warrant a whole trip outside on their own.
-Cutting back dying perennials (just 15 minutes worth at a time!).-Putting away some of the stuff off the back deck.Side tables, chairs, plant pots.. -Rounding up a few balls or sandbox toys that are still outside.. -Bringing in the tomato cages.. -Sweeping down spider webs around doorways.. -Sweeping the front steps.. -Planting a handful of Spring bulbs.. -Putting down a few sheets of newspaper and some mulch to prevent weeds in flower beds (just a little at a time again!).
Individually, all these little jobs are pretty insignificant, but if I pick seven of them to do in a week, then I find I’ve actually made some pretty good progress!.Getting outside a bit more is helping me enjoy my surroundings more too.
Can you spot the tiny purple flowers whose name I forget, but who I planted this Spring and who decided to bloom again in the Fall for some reason?.
I love knowing that this whole area is going to be just full of daffodils in March and April and I didn’t agonize over trying to plants hundreds of bulbs like last year and then just not get around to it.post to your shopping list this week, keep my easy tips for styling in mind and then.Shout out to all of the fellow mobile baby and toddler owners out there!
Those little guys are fast, aren’t they?As much as I really think it’s pretty fun to follow Jack around the house while he climbs all over everything, some times it’s nice to have a break and be able to just sit down with him and play in one room without him taking off every 1.7 seconds.
We like this to be our living room, but unfortunately, the opening into the dining room beside is really big and just doesn’t work with regular baby gates.A couple of months ago, Chris came up with a solution that works really well.
