First and foremost, did I mention that I'm a terrible blogger? In case you haven't noticed, I am. I just can't seem to find the time to update either of my blogs; BUT I guess you'll have this with a wild and crazy 10 month old crawling all over the house!
Tomorrow, Tim is leaving for a business trip to Georgia and will be home late Friday night. Saturday morning, Tim's Mom, Step Dad and Sister will be arriving from PA to spend the week of 8/6-8/12 with us. Then on 8/15 Tim leaves for another business trip; this time he'll be spending the week in Delaware. Can you say Busy Busy Busy?! I'm really happy that we have people coming to visit us this month; otherwise I'd be super bummed at the fact that Tim will be gone for half of August (truth be told, I'm still pretty bummed about it). I just hope the weather is nice for their stay in Madison. There are so many wonderful places to see here...and it would be pretty icky if we had to stay cooped up indoors the entire week due to heat (that's what happened when my mom and brother were here).
Aside from getting Tim ready for business trips and our house ready for guests, I've been working on a few small projects. This weekend we turned our upstairs office nook into a play area. It doesn't look like much now, but hopefully by September it'll be fantastic. Tim is going to build some bookcase/cubby shelves for toys and things; as well as a sensory table with interchangeable table tops for Josie to play with. I'm in the process of designing some cute and whimsical art to hang on the walls to "liven" things up a bit. We've designed this small area with a Montessori classroom in mind. I will definitely post photos when it's all set up.
I feel like I've been neglecting The Feel Good Foodie site...and as a result I have serious guilt. I'm hoping when our house guests come I'll have some spare time to take some decent pictures and work on food posts; but at the moment that's just not an option with a very mobile, active and clingy baby. It seems like whenever I start a new project Josie's nap/sleep schedule completely changes OR separation anxiety kicks in OR power crawling begins (or in my case...all 3 in the past 2 weeks) and I'm left with no energy to write anything other then a grocery list (not to mention a serious lack of wit and pizazz).
**I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to "like" my Facebook page for The Feel Good Foodie. As of right now we have 86 "likes"! So awesome! I promise I'll post some fantastic new recipes and meal planning tips before the end of August!**
I'm sure Gram & Gramp and A.Sara will be MORE than happy to entertain the 10 month old crawlie!
ReplyDeleteI love your Montessori themes. I always think I would have fared much better in the education department with more of a Montessori emphasis. I was a kid with a pretty high IQ, with traditional school not working for me at all. I felt no connection whatsoever to that experience. Anyway...sounds really neat. See ya soon!!! Yippee!!!
Have a great visit with Susie, Gary, and Sara. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of the new play area.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling about having your husband away on buinsess trips. I use to be the same way. Now I take advantage of those times and do things that I want to do around the house and with friends. Not to mention, I rarely make dinner, unless I know the kids will be here to eat.
