3 weeks ... say what?!

We are almost down to 3 weeks!  How did this happen?!?!
While my mind can't quite wrap itself around this my body has been in FULL nesting mode for some time now.  Just ask my poor hubby and his ever expanding "to-do" list ;)
It began with our closet which seems like a perfectly logical place to start since it has nothing to do with baby ... or does it?  Our home was built before master suites and walk in closets were a thing.  So for 7 years hubby and I have not been able to share a closet.  Until now thanks to my amazing parents!!

AFTER:

Being able to put ALL our clothes away in the same room, being able to get dressed in my own room, life changing!
Next up on the list?  All those shoes that are constantly piled up by our front door.  Again, for seven years and suddenly having a place to organize them is life or death.  These are serious first world problems people!

AFTER:

Thanks for taking me to Ikea for my birthday mom!  This one has been equally as life changing!
Ikea also proved to be the solution to all those pesky containers taking up floor space in my kitchen!  Dog food in one, recyclables in another ... they suddenly needed to go!
BEFORE: yeah sometimes I get too excited and forget to pause and take a before picture. 
AFTER:

It turns out retractable in cabinet storage isn't just for new construction homes ;)
Next up ... yes this list continues ... you still with me?
A FENCE!!!  This has been on my wish list FOREVER!!  We have two dogs that currently need to be taken out to potty on a leash.  Challenging at best with a toddler.  Doing this in the winter with a toddler and infant?  Aint nobody got time for that!
So we saved our pennies in a "fence fund" for 7 years (that's a lot of pennies) and waited for the perfect sale and voila!
BEFORE:

AFTER: stay tuned on this one. Per our "fencing post" this has become quite the project.  Update is all post holes have even dug and we are scheduled to complete on Sunday!! And then ...
So wait ... I can just open the door when the puppies have to go out?  No more finding shoes, a coat, gating off the toddler ... holy life changing.
And because God was blessing me with boys and not girls it was time to trade out this table I got on Craigslist ... more Ikea <3

Now to start packing for our big adventure ...
