Decluttering is so much easier when you are pregnant and filled with lovely, slightly crazy, nesting hormones. It also helps when you live in a smallish house and have run out of places to store STUFF! I've been delighted with my ruthlessness lately and shocked at what I decided to keep last time I nested and boxed stuff away under our house - why an earth do I have a box of photocopied notes from university textbooks??? Out they go! Why an earth did we keep a broken video player and a cassette player when we don't own any cassettes??? Out they go! I've also had to cull a lot of our books which has been a little hard because I just love books. I've come to the realisation that i'm never going to have time to read them all again and time would be much better spent reading new and different stories!
We also had Alex's new big boy bed delivered and it is all shiny and set up in his room now. The cot has been temporarily dismantled whilst we clear out, paint and lay new carpet in the new babies room. I'm really looking forward to this part - that's next month. After next pay day I'm ordering some fabrics to decorate the room - a cot quilt, some cushions and some wall art are all on the cards!!
Some pretty artwork Alex created with some old craft stuff I found hiding in the cupboard I was cleaning out!
