Mikhaila at Home

Hi there.

I am starting a blog today. But just for a little while. I actually have a very busy day ahead of me. I am planning to go to a yoga class this morning from 10-11:30am. Mark and I are also in the midst of completely making-over our house and our list of projects is never ending. Today we are painting. What we have left to paint: The master bedroom (including the inside of my closet, which is most assuredly NOT happening today), the nursery, the kitchen, the accent wall in the dining room, the rest of the house. Oh it’s exciting! We are actually starting to put a dent in it...I swear.

Our main project, however, is creating the nursery so that, when she’s born in March, our little girl will have someplace to stay with us. This is a very high priority! But it is not a simple task. Oh no! The room which shall eventually (hopefully sooner than later) become her room is currently our Media Room and Mark’s dressing room. That is, he uses the closet in that room so that the closet in our room is solely mine. Therefore, before we can move his things into our bedroom to make way for Baby’s things we need to make enough room for his things in a closet that can hardly contain my things! It is a thing overload we’ve got going on in our home. To further complicate the issue, Mark and I are equally sentimental and possessive of our items, so we have a hard time simply throwing out or giving away clothes that we no longer wear to make a little extra room. Yeah, I know, we’re just going to have to get over that. There has been a truckload of Ikea, a rearrangement of the layout of the master bedroom, and an installation of cable to aid us thus far and we are pleased with the progress we have made. But there is still much to do. I’ll spare you the details for now....
