TGIF! This was one of those weeks where I had NO idea what day it actually was. I kept asking my husband “wait, is today Tuesday or Thursday?”. I was so off every day. But hey! It’s Friday now! And today I’m headed with a friend to a new home decor store that opened up here in Durham – At Home. Do you have one in your town??? Apparently, it’s like Home Goods, but bigger. Bigger!? Amazing!
Here’s what I was up to this week:
1. I’m getting back on track in the blogging groove. And it felt goooooooood!
2. Speaking of blogging grove, hey! Guess what?? My blog’s FB page cruised over 100 likes this week! A small number, but a number I certainly am grateful for! *cue happy dance
3. Elizabeth has had quite the week. She’s started cutting her first tooth. I just noticed a little white line on her gum line, and then the husband got bit by a little shark tooth. And we’ve had to start baby-proofing. Because she started rummaging in a kitchen cabinet. It has begun.
4. I went to the Dollar Tree for the first time in my adult life. I kept hearing that it was fun to snag bins, baskets, etc. I scored some fun storage and baby related items, and recorded a quick haul. I wish I could live my life in haul videos.
5. Progress has begun on converting our front room in to a play room! The rug arrived yesterday, and then next week I’m planning an Ikea trip. And we put up a gate, which took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to open it. And it only took me 30 minutes because I just gave up and looked up a video on YouTube.
Anyway, that was my week!

Thank you, Taylor! She IS in to everything. But it’s entertaining watching her explore, at least 🙂 Have a great weekend yourself!
Love hearing that you’re buying storage bins from the dollar store. People think you have to spend millions to get organized – not true!
I was so shocked, Crystal! I kept reading how neat the Dollar Tree was. Now I know!
It looks like you had a fun week! I love the things you found at the Dollar Tree! Some of my favorite days are when I can visit the Goodwill or the Consignment shops. I always feel like I walk away with treasures! 🙂
Exactly! It is like a little treasure hunt. I kept picking up fun things and showing Elizabeth. I think she had just as much fun as I did!
Good luck with the front room change over! So much fun to have a play room!
Thank you! I know it will be! Getting the green light to decorate a room and turn it in to a play room is always fun! 🙂
I know those weeks! They spin out of control… Way to go with the baby gate, I always make my hubby put them up for me. 🙂
Thanks! I know, it’s amazing how quickly she is changing. It feels like she was just learning how to sit up. Hubby definitely put them up for me – but then didn’t show me how to open them. HAHA I was so frustrated. Baby proof AND mommy proof!
