Okay, time to make my To-Do List!

I’ve put it off long enough, and this time I’ve even had my sweet husband asking me to make “him” a to-do list. I think my post yesterday has helped me identify my strange inward feelings this pregnancy and I’ve finally found the energy to make my list! Or at least get it started. I think the fact that we have a new shed, and a place to put some of that clutter helps me to feel more ready to start “nesting” before baby comes. And look at our new shed, it’s just calling to me, “COME fill me with all your junk stuff!” So here I go…
