It turns out.....

that cabinets do not paint themselves. I want to have cute painted cabinets and I have already planned my hardware, backsplash tile, and decorations BUT I have no motivation to actually paint them. The problem is that I have already started two sections and they are just waiting there with doors off for me to finish them. Here's what we have been doing instead of finishing our cabinet project:
- Transitioning Milan to a toddler bed. I have been holding on to the crib as long as possible and dreading this transition, but it really has been pretty smooth. Milan goes to bed without any problem and she goes down for naps pretty well when I lay down with her and cuddle (I am forced to take a nap in the middle of the day while cuddling with my little girl, but oh well.)

-We also cleaned out the office/guest bedroom to make room for the new baby's room. We sorted through all the stuff we have been accumulating since high school and moved the keepers downstairs. I organized all the baby stuff and had fun hanging up little Newborn outfits for the new one!
-Tons of yard work.....all that is left for this year is planting trees and shrubs in our beds and hauling in rock.....I will post pictures when that's done.
-Hanging out with Milan and doing all of our normal stuff (parks, walks, tantrums, and more playing.)


This is my public declaration........I will finish two cabinet sections by Friday and will have them all done by the end of the month. Okay, there.....let's see if I can just stick to it!
