ONE MONTH PROJECT

It is the beginning of March... And that means it is the start of our "one month general clean project". . Jeremy and I are giving ourselves exactly one month to turn our 2 bedroom / 2 bath apartment into not just a place we rent, but into a place that feels like a home. So we will be cleaning, organizing and re-decorating each and every room in our apartment. Due to the fact that Jeremy and I work 5 days a week, we have only two days out of the week to get things taken care of (Wednesday and Thursday). So our project needs to be done by March 31st...

Why did we choose to do this?
Jeremy and I have a past of being big time procrastinators, we have never gotten things done on time, we in fact have this tendency to put things aside and wait till the last minute. So we wanted to change that, and start off the new year more responsible, organized and committed. We are also currently expecting baby#02 in less than 4 months so before things can get out of control we needed to start off by taking care of our apartment, the messy and unorganized part of our life. So we both agreed to do this big project when I'm 5 months pregnant and still filled with energy.

SO WHAT'S THE PLANS?

Week one and Week Two:(March 2-3) (March 9-10)
(Tackling the girl's room)
We have used our daughter's room as a storage room for the past 5 months. We pretty much throw every thing in that room, so it is a complete mess. In fact, sad to say but you CAN'T even walk in there. Every thing is literally all over the place. We know and we are prepared to be spending lots of hours in the girl's room. We want to make sure it is safe, organized for a soon to be one year old and a new born and of course baby friendly...
Week Three - Week Four: (March 16-17) (March 23-24)
(Tackling our room)
Like the girls room, our bedroom is off limits. During the holiday season, I've let the room go out of control. It is such a mess in there, I can't believe I let it get that way I'm kind of embarrass to be honest. In fact, because it is so messy and freezing cold in our room, J and I literally dragged our bed into our living room and sleep in there instead. So we don't really have our own space to go to. We want to change that, we want our bedroom back! So we are going to be turning our messy room into our master bedroom we always wanted.
Week Five: (March 30-31)
(Re-decorating our living room/kitchen)
Jeremy and I have been using our living room as if its a studio. We have my daughter's pack n play (which is where she sleeps), our big queen size bed, a coffee table and a couch smack in the middle of the living room. We also have our daughter's toys piled up in front of our beautiful fire place, her walker next to the front door and a high chair right by the couch. So with all the big and bulky items we have, we don't really have the space for my daughter to crawl around in the day/night time. But all of this will change this week, cause I've been researching online for the past two months on living room ideas and I have few ideas on what I can do... I'm so excited!!! As for the kitchen, well I'm actually proud to say that this is probably the less messy part of our house. What we plan on doing here is child proofing all the cabinets and drawers, purchase a few more of cooking utensil and de-clutter our counter tops and purchase a few storage things so every thing can be neat and not taking up any space. But other than that, we pretty much kept our kitchen under control. So yay!

So now that we have shared with you our plans for this month and your are informed on our apartment condition, we welcome you to follow us on this project. Each week will be posting up updates on our progress, so keep an eye out for that. We are excited, we are ready and we can't wait! Here is to a new and improved lifestyle...
