A little update, shall we?
He's sick. Again. Not sure how he got sick exactly, but the runny nose is ever present and always increased in stuffiness at night. As if we needed another hurdle to overcome when it comes to sleep. {In other news, I am so tired.}
The sugar-free thing is going pretty well. I did have some chocolate last week after a particularly rough day and Jamie and I were having a night in. I've discovered a small business here that makes the most amazing Greek yogurt. So I've been making Greek yogurt popsicles, blending up pineapple and banana with a tiny bit of honey and yogurt. Mmmm, so good.
Things are coming together with some arrangements for when we get back to Canada. We've got some temporary housing set up with our dear friends and we've been pre-approved for a mortgage! Hoorah! So now we hunt online and my friend Jen is going to check out some places for us.
I've been pinning ALL THE THINGS and have decided I want a white bedroom. Full of texture and various shades of white/cream/grey...oh it's going to be so fresh and lovely.
Aren't they lovely?
I think so. The best thing about white is you can bleach it and it comes out looking oh-so-lovely and new again.
So I'm on Pinterest. And looking at real estate listings. And making lists. I love lists.
And it's almost midnight. Gah. This is a contributing factor to me not getting enough sleep. A small factor, but one nonetheless.
{There's so much more going on in my brain to do with sleep in older children and judging Moms and hospitality and tons of things that are going on here in Uganda. But I can't quite make them coherent enough to post here.}
Hey if you're gonna do a "white room" it might as well be the grown up bedroom! Haha probably the only place that'll stay that way :) But you are right with the bleaching thing (not that I've done it) I hope all your fresh and bright white dreams come true along with more hours of sleep ;)
ReplyDeleteYup. I've even toyed with the idea of a white couch with a white slipcover. Easy to whip off, clean and put back. But that's probably not going to happen.

I don't know why this post made me giggle. I hope you get your white bedroom!! Congratulations on getting pre-approved! Most exciting! xx.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why either. :) Maybe I'm just funny like that.
DeleteWe are in the middle of buying the house we're in now and I can not wait to fix it up how I want it! Pinterest is helpful but not helping with my impatience! :) I love the white. It's so peaceful to me.

It's true about Pinterest not helping with our impatience. I can't decide if it's better for me to just stay away from Pinterest and real estate websites...gah.
DeleteYes. Peaceful. This is what I want my bedroom to be. A safe, peaceful haven. :)
Can't wait to see you Saturday and hear your thoughts on those other topics that weren't quite coherent enough for the blog :)
ReplyDelete:D YES.
DeleteLovely stuff, the white! but can you incorporate the 'wrought iron' bed or paint it? definitely a retreat to keep that way! Yay for pre-approval. let me know what you're looking for and we can spot one while we look for ourselves! xoxo Mom
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can probably paint the headboard, but I'm also thinking about making a different headboard and just using the frame. There are a lot of online tutorials on how to make one - I'm thinking of something slightly rustic. I also like the tufted ones.
DeleteSad too about poor Blaise. He has a 'jude' look to him here. Hugs oxox Mom
