i just want to sit and relax by this fireplace.
this room is calling my name.
unfortunately there is NO time for relaxation over at our abode.
i decided to tackle the dreadful job of potty training!
we completed day one, i think i lost.
potty: 1 – floor: 123324!
please tell me it gets better.
the only good thing about potty training is that we have to stay home.
this gives me plenty of time to finish up my lingering diy projects.
emory’s nightstand = painted!
i just need to put the hardware on.
i also sewed 2 pillows, painted the chalkboard, applied fabric to the back of the bookcase, prepared the child’s size rocker for painting, and finalized the lay-out for the gallery wall.
i love including personal items into a design.
emory’s miraculous beginning is something i wanted to incorporate in the room.
a gallery wall seems like the perfect way to display her incredible story.
now i am exhausted and smell like pee, lovely.
It does get better! There are all kinds of tips and tricks, but each child is individual so what works for one doesn’t always work for another. Trust me…I taught 2 year old preschool years ago and had half of my class training at one time!!!
Can’t wait to see her room come together. Love the idea of the gallery wall. The pictures are precious and certainly tell her story.
can’t wait to see the finished product!! love the gallery wall, so personal and sweet
Can’t wait to see the finished products! Your little one is super cute!
Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. Love that fireplace! Good luck on potty training. That is something I don’t look forward to. Your daughter is supr cute.
well it certainly sounds like you’ve been productive despite the pee! can’t wait to see it all done 🙂
Love your gallery wall and the nightstand is going to look so great when you are done. I feel your pain with the potty training- my 2 year old has zero interest in the idea.
Oh hang in there. It seems like yesterday, I was in your same place and now I miss it.

This is something I both look forward to and dread! Good Luck
Oh goodness, I don’t even want to think about potty training…I have a couple more months to go!
I think that gallery wall of Emory’s life thus far is a great idea! I can’t believe that teeny tiny baby turned into your little girl above…so beautiful!
I potty-trained my twins a couple of years ago. Exhausting and smelt like TWO lots of pee!! Nice….
It definitely does get better.
I’m so impressed with how much you’ve got done. And I REALLY love the idea of putting up pictures of your little girl’s life so far. I might be…errr….stealing that idea!! There’s just no nice way to say it, is there?!

Beats smelling like throw-up! 🙂 (been there!)
You’ve been a busy bee…can’t wait to see everything you’ve been working on!
