The first project I started (and possibly the most boring of the projects) was cleaning ALL closets and storage areas (including the pantry, fridge, & freezer which store food). I rearranged and condensed. More room (imagine that)! This project was mainly undertaken to make room for the contents of my next project: food storage.
The second project I started (and will be working on for a few more weeks/months) is obtaining, organizing, and using a three-month supply. I am even taking it so far as to create a food storage chart that monitors item amounts and need for replacements. I LOVE these three websites: Food Storage Made Easy, The Food Storage Shopper, & Everyday Food Storage Recipes. Amazing. We have a three-month supply of juice. Maybe even a year supply of juice(thank you, WIC). This is what we have so far in terms of food:
I had to take a break from my projects to celebrate Father's Day. I could have taken pictures of Robert with Joel, but I didn't. Just look at this picture from a few months ago and pretend I did:
I did, however, take pictures of the nifty cards I crafted for Father's Day. The first card was for Robert and included some "love coupons" (I recycled an idea I saw for Valentines Day). The other cards were for our fathers. Easy. Cute. Perfect.
The third project I started (yesterday) and finished (today) was making a stroller quilt. A stroller quilt is better than an ordinary quilt (for strollin') because it ties onto the stroller (seriously, genius). It can also be made to fold and button up to create a "pocket" for baby's feet (even more genius). Granted, it is JUNE and it doesn't get cold here until November... but I couldn't wait.
But life hasn't been solely projects. We have done some fun things. Robert and I took Joel with us to make our "traditional" bear for the new baby. He didn't think it was neat; he screamed in fear when the bear was stuffed. Here is our bear family:
But I must go and eat pizza now. Until I accomplish more projects....
