Mike and I spent this weekend doing some major reorganization and cleaning in our house. Our extra room has come together quite nicely to be able to put the baby in. It will still have to double as an office but it is much roomier than we thought it would ever get and has plenty of room to put our nice air mattress in for guests.
We have started working on building up our food storage. Our goal at first is to have a months worth of the foods we use most. We have basically accomplished that and are now focused on a 3 month supply. Since we live in an apartment, we are finding some interesting ways to store everything. LUCKILY, the extra room also has a walk in closet. We put a utility shelf in there but will soon have to add a second one. We have also started a supply of house products for laundry, cleaning, and personal items. It is amazing where you store things when you live in a smaller place. Baby stuff is also being stocked up on. It feels good to know that we will never be in the position of no money but needing diapers, laundry detergent, or such. We are now at the point where I am able to only buy these items if they are on sale with a coupon to match up.
We have been enjoying the nice weather lately. It has been wonderful to be able to roll the window down in my car. To go on walks without putting on TONS of layers. I have been able to wear my chacos on the weekends and even some evenings.
This week, I went and saw "The Princess and the Frog" with some friends. I LOVED it. It was so refreshing to have a Disney movie done in the classic Disney style. Some people think it was super scary but it was no scarier than the old ones (Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, etc). I think that we have just had the candy coated villains in the Disney movies for a while that we forgot what the old ones were like. I also LOVED that they sang through out the movie. I MISS that!
Other than that, our week has been pretty uneventful. We are looking forward to the rest of March and the warmer weather.
