Clean up day.

I used to be one of those girls that would live by the mantra "A place for everything and everything in it's place." When I put Harper's nursery together, a lot of my friends and family commented on how beautiful it was, but they didn't hesistate to tell me that it wouldn't be that way for long. (For the record, it's not funny to impart those kinds of experiences on a mom-to-be. Be happy for her and just don't say anything, even though it's true :)

I knew that one day, I would face a home scattered with legos, stuffed animals and blocks. Well, that day came a long time ago, but I have learned to let go of my tidy ways and just enjoy playing on the floor with my baby.

I took one look around my Harper's room this morning and knew that it was time to take action. It has looked this way for weeks.



Then I looked around at my house and felt a sudden kick of motivation. When we moved in almost a month ago, the home was spotless. Between all of us and the tons of family and friends that have visited (which we LOVE), the house has not really been given a good cleaning since then. So, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work!





Harper has been a little obsessed with taking all of clothes out of his bottom dresser drawer and dumping them wherever I happen to be. Is he trying to tell me something? Haha.



(I think I am going to craigslist the loveseat in here and get some airy chairs. The two dark sofas together are just way too heavy for this space!)




Do I have pictures of my clean house? No, but I hope to post them soon. I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow and depending on how I feel when I get back will determine if I am up for picture taking.

Later today, I caught Harper utilizing his reading corner. I showed him how to sit sideways and prop a book in his lap and he definitely took note!



I hope everyone had a great Wednesday!!
