I think I might be a container hoarder

If this move has taught me anything, it is that I like containers. A bit too much. I use most of what I buy but do I NEED most of the containers? No. I could easily re-use a lot of what I have. I am going to challenge myself to stop buying bins and other containers, only using what I have for now. This will probably be tough...I came home with 4 new bins just the other day. Plus our new fridge is lilliputian compared to our old one so I am going to have to do a lot of labeled/stacked containerizing food. Yay.

The end of bedsharing

I never expected to love bedsharing, but Lila has been in our bed since day 1. I can count on one hand how many times she actually slept in her co-sleeper.

Well we moved on Saturday (2 days before her first birthday) and she is sleeping in her crib now. I thought the trasition would be hard. It was...on me! Somehow she is able to go to bed at 9 and wake up at 5:30-6 no interruptions at all. **I** must have been keeping her up all this time! She would eat a lot at night and this led me to believe that she would be up a lot while in her crib. WRONG! I know it has only been 2 days but she is doing great. I think she would probably sleep longer but I have to wake her up because I leave for work at 7.

So very ready

We are moving on Saturday and holy Oprah I cannot wait to move. I am so ready to be out of here. It is going to cut so much time off of my driving, save gas, etc. Right now it takes me 35 minutes to get to work, about an hour to get home. I go pick up my son from daycare and it is pretty out of the way. Now they will be in the same daycare and the new place is 17 minutes from there. YAY! Their closet has turned out so nicely. It will be so nice to have somewhere to actually hang coats, dresses, and other stuff.

I am also very excited that we will have "nature" out there. We have a perfect bird-watchin' window. We have tons of storage and I will actually have my own little craft/sewing area. I am even taking my husbands desk, which happens to be my mom's old cutting table. I am very excited about this.
