Finally back to posting...
I know it's about darn time isn't? Well I'm kick-starting things with my new ticker. Yes it's loud and in your face, sorry about that. Well not really, we're tickled pink with this surprise. Yes, the colors and that last line are hints. We don't have the final confirmation yet. All predictions, quizzes, signs, symptoms and instincts have so far have indicated this little one to be of the female persuasion . Date for the official announcement is Monday 11/2.
This post is liable to be a bit all over the place, due to all the catching up I'm feeling so very far behind on. To say plans have been switched up frequently in the last several months is like spitting in an ocean and expecting to see a visible difference. Yeah, we've really been all over the place: fair circuit that kept growing and changing throughout another season; moving/not moving; major remodel/expansion to the house/err not; adapting to back to school routines; adapting to first trimester exhaustion; planning out where we can possibly squeeze another little body, bed, space; switching bedrooms around; realizing we have lots of house projects to accomplish before we're ready for our soon to be family addition; treading the waters of life to get thru October- weekends at Walsh Pumpkin Farm, an open house; coming to the conclusion we're outta time to get finally organized again; dreaming of a decluttered home that is an oasis of peace, warmth and productivity- yes that would be my/our motivation of late; 2nd trimester hormones don't always equate to the nicest mommy moments.
On the goal list for the upcoming few months (Oct-Jan): install flooring in the entry; survive the holidays (LOL!); plan a party.. shhh; take a "last for a long while" couple's vacation; purge/declutter/organize; finish up the small "almost finished" projects on the main level; swap the master and boy's bedrooms; paint said bedrooms + newbie's; finish up our list for baby needs; convert a music cabinet to a changing table for our full bath/main level changing space; start working on acquiring said baby items; have a couple closets built/added to a couple bedrooms; get to work on slipcovers, cushions & pillows needed all over the house... I'm sure there is more but that's the bulk of it all.
So yeah, it's alot, but that's pretty much it in a nutshell. I'm sure I'll be back to revisit some of these topics and in far more detail in the coming days, weeks, months. Yes, you've officially been updated!

About Me
- Ella
- I'm a 30-something, mostly SAHM of 4 (2 DD's and 2 DS's) and DSM to 1 (DSD). I've had a deeply ingrained love & respect for mother nature and most things natural ever since I can remember. In 2003 we were FTHB's of a 1920 cape cod desperately needing TLC. We've been gradually remodeling ever since. I have a mad love of beautifully organized home spaces that are exceptionally functional. I love working with my hands and creating, especially newly repurposed things. My DH may state that I'm a creative force to be reckoned with. I started this blog as a way to chronicle our life as a family and our adventures in home ownership... my musings. I love hanging with my family and friends. Yet I crave slivers of good old fashioned alone time to be still, collect my thoughts and refuel my spirit. Hope you enjoy the snippits of chaos, fleeting moments of sanity... er... insanity. Well whatever it may be, it'll be real.
