Tuesdays are my friend


Now that I am back on my old schedule at work and have Tuesdays off again, I am loving life! I use that day to do all the above and beyond cleaning and organizing. This last Tuesday was no exception. Lola and I hung around all day, got in the tubby, watched "UP" and cleaned. Luckily I was cleaning in her room so she could play with all of her toys and was happy that I was there to keep her company.

Since she was born, her closet has been the "chuck-everything-baby-oriented-in-there-and-forget-about-it" area. It was a mess and every time I would look in there I felt like a bad person, ha ha not that bad, but I hated it. I try to be a clean and organized person so it was definitely a thorn in my side. But it no longer is!

My mom had some old storage containers, since she has been switching hers out while spring cleaning, so I thought there was no better time to tackle the beast.

BEFORE


side note: the crappy Walmart diapees- Chris was trying to save a buck but has since realized this was a mistake. He probably wondered why I reacted so strongly when he came home with them. Let's just say it has been leak city around here! Plus Walmart is the devil, we had to use a gift card...

AFTER


Since we don't use her changing table anymore I decided to do something else with it. It is nothing great but it adds a little extra light and puts a few things at arms length.

Lola in my old tutu from when I was little, watching UP. She looks enthused eh?

Also on Friday Lola and I had a super fun day with my friend Jess and her baby Aiden!! We went and ate at the new Zupa's in Layton {love it} and then went shopping!! I think I should be a personal shopper. We had so much fun, finding Jess cute new clothes that make her feel great since she has been working hard to lose weight. She deserves new clothes for that! Lola and Aiden love each other I think... future BFF's...

We bought Lola this kitty headband for 99 cents, what a steal! They are so funny!
