This week started off strong and then dwindled very quickly! We were a bit distracted with our baby to do list this week. But I started off the week cleaning out our wall of white cabinets, attempting to make more space. I managed to gain 3 extra shelves! No doubt that those shelves will get filled quickly, but it’s a start. There are still things we need to do in the office area like: get me a new stool that fits my desk, hack an ikea trone to hide wires under my desk, paint a chalkboard, and clean and reorganize our gray shelves. In the nursery this week we basically just set up the crib. We received our mattress and bedding this week and now the room is coming together quite nicely.

Week 6 – Light Therapy
Boy do we need this! On our last trip to ikea we bought a lamp to hang over our couch to help light the area under the loft. However I think we still have some work to do in this area. Overall our loft is way to dark, so we need to find creative ways to light our different areas. It’s also bathroom deep cleaning week. This is another area I really should focus on. Our cabinets in our bathrooms need some decluttering and maybe a few extra shelves to accommodate all of baby’s bath supplies and diapering accessories. (Who knew there was so much needed for a tiny baby!) And one more thing I need to tackle is putting away all of the gifts we received from our baby shower this past weekend. Our friends and family were very generous with us!
