middle of january

Well, it's the middle of January. The holidays are over, and I've been back at work for three weeks. Work has been so crazy lately... I have 34 IEPs and re-evals before spring break. Not to mention squeezing 45 kids in my schedule for therapy. It's a little nuts, but I love coming home to my calm and cozy little house where I am greeted by Toby! I especially love coming home when it's still daylight. I force myself to run, cook dinner, wait for Brian to get home, cuddle on the couch and browse pinterest looking for baby shower ideas (!!!!), crafts and decorating inspiration. It's the greatest part of my day. If I could decorate, shop, bake, and craft all day I would be in heaven. Ah, I can dream, right?

 

I got this old tool box a few months ago at an antique store in Buford. It's old and pretty rackety which made me love it more. I can't wait to have potted tulips on it in the spring. 

 I started this pinterest-inspired wreath (using this tutorial) at Thanksgiving, and I just finished it tonight! I didn't work on it consistently, but it did take a long time to make. I hung it over an old window I already had hanging in our bedroom. I think it adds a lovely touch to the space. I eventually want to add a long shelf under the window. 

Oh! Everyone should start reading my mom's blog where she is documenting their time in Los Angeles! April cannot come soon enough. I can't wait to visit!!
