A little organizing was in order on Sunday… Like I really don’t have more important things to be doing? Of course I do. I made a list out and did not accomplish anything on the list, but I did organize the linen closet, wash my shower curtain and dust the ceiling fans… All things that need to be done :-)
The exciting part about the closet organizing was an idea I saw on Pinterest to put your sheets inside a pillowcase. You can see them down near the bottom. Either way the after photo is a definite improvement from the before… Let’s see how long it stays that way :-)

I cant seem to post anything that is not baby related… I’m sorry. With any free time I have had I am busy getting things ready for baby and enjoying every minute of it! Yesterday I had the day off and I devoted it to crafting, cleaning and nesting :-) It was fabulous. I was working on the alphabet wall, which still needs some finishing touches. I also finished a mini gallery wall made from thrift store frames and scrapbook paper. Two weekends ago, the hubby and my brother moved my dresser from parents house into the nursery. This is a very special piece for me, because my Uncle Charlie made this dresser for me before I can even remember. It needs some new hardware it it is good to go. The yellow frame is from a garage sale and has since been painted.
This week hits the 25 week mark. Baby is moving a ton and gets the hiccups a lot! I am enjoying being pregnant and super excited to meet the lil one soon :-)

I took a little time out of my day to work on some stuff for the baby tonight. I made the tree plaque and finally took a picture of my mobile. Thanks to Mandy at Jeez Louise I’m a MOM! for her help on the mobile. I’m really pleased with how it turned out and plan to use another one of her ideas for the thrift store lamp I’m working on. You can see what the room looks like now that it is painted and starting to come together. Hopefully I will find some more energy later this week to get a few more things accomplished.

Goodbye 2011… Hello 2012
2011 was a wonderful year for the Hagglund’s! Last night Sky and I rang in the New Year at home with our boys. It is Hagglund Family tradition to have homemade Stir-Fry on New Year’s Eve. My hubby can make some mean Stir Fry and Egg Drop Soup.
In 2011 we celebrated our first anniversary as husband and wife and our first year in our new home. We took an amazing trip to our favorite place, Sedona, AZ. and spent a lot of time outdoors. Sky made a big change from Club Fitness in O’Fallon to Ballwin and we are thankful for all the wonderful memories of 2011, but we are even more excited to see what 2012 will bring. We are most excited about the new addition to our family expected in April! It seems like yesterday that we found out we were expecting and sitting here today all I can think is… four more months. Those months will go by quickly as we settle into our daily routines this week and the big day will be here before you know it!

A few months ago before I knew I was pregnant my mom gave me a bunch of stuff that belonged to me as a baby. I just pulled out the box and started looking for some inspiration for my baby’s new home. These are two items made for me by my Great Grandma Jessie. She was a wonderful woman who I am so grateful I had the pleasure of knowing. I would like to think I get some of my craftiness from her. The pillow she made me will be perfect in our little one’s nursery! The blanket is very special to me for obvious reasons and is shaping the plans for what is to come of this beautiful new room in our home. <3 you Granny!

This is the last room in our house to really take on a new look and I’m so excited to get started painting with my hubby tomorrow. Well, hopefully it’s mostly the hubby :-) The walls have been prepped and are ready for a shade of light gray!

Nursery Plans…
I’m so excited to start decorating the baby’s nursery! I have been pondering ideas all day as I lay on the couch in between movies. My sinuses have gotten the best of me the past few days.
My main goal for the winter break is to get the room painted. We have only a few more days to get that checked off our list. I have picked out Valspar’s Filtered Shade, a light gray for all the walls. I would really like to incorporate a chevron pattern into the room either on the walls or in a fabric. I’m a little overwhelmed with all the ideas on the internet. So much I want to do, but still keep on our budget. I’m trying to re-purpose as many things from around the house as possible which is fun and challenging at the same time. I need to keep myself in check and take one step at a time.

Riverscene Trail Dec 26th
It was a great morning for a hike on the River Scene trail at Castlewood. The weather this morning was much better than the sleet falling right now.
I cannot remember a birthday when I was not sick… For some reason I end up getting sick on Christmas night and feeling it the next few days. The hike today probably didn’t help my cause much, but it was really nice to get out and get some fresh air with my parents and boys. Unfortunately Sky had to work today, but we are planning a family dinner tonight to celebrate my 27th Birthday.

Here are a few of the homemade Christmas gifts I whipped up this season. I have always been one to make things for friends and family. I hope they like what I have created this year. For my Mom and Dad: A bath and hand towel embroidered with their initials. Niece & Nephew: Cowgirl and Cowboy cookie mix. Mom: A dry erase picture frame for her kitchen.
