Least Productive Weekend Ever (For Me)

My lengthy to-do list got very little crossed off of it this weekend. What happened to my nesting momentum? I feel like all I did this weekend was clean up dog hair and do laundry. However, in trying to stay positive, here is what I DID accomplish...

- Finished writing out all of my thank you notes for baby showers.
- Made a delicious new meatloaf recipe & made an extra loaf to freeze for after the baby arrives (Mozzarella Stuffed Italian Meatloaf... amazing).
- Survived the wacky October snowstorm. (4-5 inches and we haven't had snow before Halloween since the 1950's!)

In the beginning...
After an hour or so...
My mums were very confused.

Getting 2 all-wheel drive vehicles was an excellent choice.
It's official. Indy loves snow!

- 3 loads of laundry.
- Vacuumed, swiffered, dusted & cleaned the bathroom.
- Took Indy to the groomers for the first time where they made him look & smell pretty (he even got a cute little Halloween bow... awwh). I'm not sure who the groomers spoiled more... me or the dog. He'll definitely be going back next month!

Daddy is not pleased with our manly dog wearing a ghost bow.
Indy got an excellent "Pawgress" Report from Pet Smart.

- Did not go into labor during the snow storm (Tim was very appreciative of this).
- Bought a new pair of wedges that actually fit. Your feet really DO get bigger from pregnancy. I went from a 7.5 to an 8 and my current pairs of flats are sooo tight.
- Attempted to make a fabric flower and it was disastrous. I don't even want to show you. It looks terrible.

Annnd there you have it. Seems like I did a good amount, but most of these things weren't on my actual to-do list. I'm simply reiterating them to make myself feel better. And I kind of do! Mission accomplished. Hopefully I have another baby-free weekend in my future to git 'er done.

Husband Organization

My hunny is getting organized and I love it!
Can you tell I'm rubbing off on him?


Over the weekend, Tim randomly decided to clean out his dresser, which I've mentioned before is mainly comprised of t-shirts. I didn't let him get rid of any dress shirts or sweaters, though, because they are like rare animals on the verge of extinction in his closet.

[Keepers]
He did part with a lot of old T's, undies that were practically disintegrating and worn out socks.
Less stuff to move... and that makes me oh so happy!



When I saw this pile of old undershirts, my brain switched to a 1950's woman's brain and I felt the need to reuse them for something. 


So I got out my sewing scissors and cut them up into cleaning rags.
My mom did this when I was little and I guess the idea stuck.



Tim's decision to de-clutter was such a delightful surprise.
I didn't even care that it occurred at 8am on a weekend.
