I am amazed that for such teeny tiny people that babies have so much stuff. My once tidy house is filled with burp rags, little socks, hats, bibs, baby blankets, bottles, etc. I seem to keep picking up the same items over and over again. I laugh a bit at the contrast the baby items add to our home. I have always been extremely particular on how I decorate my house. It is kind of a hobby of mine. I love design. We have decorated in a very modern style - as in simplistic, clean lines, black leather, black granite, stainless steel and specifically chosen art work. I am kind of a clean freak and actually enjoy having people over for dinner and parties so I can clean up the kitchen after (really!). For anyone who is a fan of the show Friends - Monica is my soul sister.
As I look around the living room and the house that I had meticulously chosen furniture and artwork for.....I have to just laugh at the baby swing sitting between the red leather chair and black leather couch. The bottles that seem to never be put away drying on the once spotless counter top. The pack and play and pink baby jumper sitting in the middle of the family room....this small person has not only taken over our lives...she has also taken over our house. Just like everything else in my life these days I can stress or I can just throw the rules out the window and not worry so much about the little things. On a given day these days if I have ten minutes free during the day I can either shower, clean up the house or try to do some homework. I have learned to not care if my house is spotless when company comes over and my new motto is "It is what it is." Pink baby stuff has taken over my life and my house....do I stress? No, it is what it is.
