Projects

I keep inventing household projects in my head but sadly, I lack the time, energy, and motivation to start, let alone complete any of them. So, I will list them here so I can read them and remind myself of them.

  • Place framed pictures around the house. This should be fairly easy since I am picking up pictures this weekend from Leah's first professional portraits
  • Get a new kennel for my dogs, put it in the dining room, and rearrange the dining room table/dog food bowls
  • Get the end tables and coffee table for my living room
  • Fake houseplant or houseplants for my kitchen
  • Get a basket thingy for the random bits of mail that my husband leaves on the counter, and for other things
  • New kitchen towels, since my dog was kind enough to destroy my decorative ones
  • Reorganize Leah's closet and box up the clothes she has already grown out of
  • Get a dining room rug
  • Get an ikea bookshelf
  • Get a new DVD holder that fits in my living room
  • Get a temperpedic mattress. Those things are amazing.
  • Get nightstands. I miss having them and I will never take them for granted once I get them EVER AGAIN.
  • NEW SHOWERHEADS. I hate ours, and having detachable ones would make it easier to wash my dogs
And some projects for the long term....
  • Get someone to repaint ALL of the rooms in my house and repair all of the random little holes and whatnot that the previous owners left
  • Get new flooring that is similar to the ones we already have. Ours have scatches and whatnot and pieces of missing floorboards that my husband neglected to repair and have since broken even more.
  • New water softener. Either ours doesn't work, or my husband just doesn't maintain it.
Ok. That's that. Maybe I can scratch them off of the list once they're completed. If anyone has any suggestions or would like to help, feel free.

  1. The outgrowing of clothes is never ending! I feel like I do this on a bi weekly process. I have already filled four large totes full of clothes! I was just telling my husband I need to be a fifth!

  2. Haha I am at about half of a huge bin on just newborn clothes! I put in some receiving blankets too since I have more of those than I know what to do with.

  3. I know...receiving blankets just multiply. I have two drawers full and I barely use them anyone. Addison has a "special" blankie that she uses ALL THE TIME! I actually went to Kmart (the only place I can buy the blankies) and bought five...just in case I lose one (which I already have at Disneyland) and if they get dirty.
