So we've been homeowners for almost 5 months now and I still feel like we just moved in. We're adults with full-time jobs, a kid, a dog and now a mortgage...so it's a little understandable that we haven't had the time nor the money to really invest in the appeal of our home. But its starting to get to both Isaac and me. Our yard needs a major overhaul! And we need - desperately need - to decorate!!! We need to make our home a HOME! But where do we start??? We already wrote a list of things we want done to our home, in order of priority and how much they will cost, but it seems like everytime we save, something comes up. New tires, dental work, a wedding...etc...AND we still have to save up for our HONEYMOON!!! Ayi yi yi - when does the madness end!!!
MY wishlist for our house (in no particular order):
- GRASS in our yard - actual grass that is worth buying a lawn mower for
- A fence
- DECOR!!! Well we have some decor but it is not up because we have to fix some spots on the walls - and I need to repaint
- A new bedroom set - Ikea has worked for us, but it's time for us to upgrade
- Decide whether or not our "Spare Room" is going to be an office with a futon or a guest room - and then decorate it as such
- A Dining Set - we have the dining ROOM - my perfect RED dining room, but it is being used as extra storage space :(
- Organize the garage so one of us can actually park in there
- DECOR!!! Again - I emphasize the decor part
Planning a wedding, trying to save for a honeymoon, starting a new job (starting my CAREER), and trying to be a good homeowner all while being the best mom I can be to a toddler who loves to say "NO" is not an easy task...
Thank God it is Friday - Momma is ready for a margarita!
