A Visit From My Mom

My mom came to visit last week in order to get a little extra Riley time and to help me catch up on a few things around the house. It was such an enjoyable and productive visit! She mostly helped me in our "work room" (office and craft room) which had been a mess since before Riley was born. (I learned that it's not such a great idea to reorganize the work room a few weeks before your baby is due!)

I'm really blessed to have half (okay, over half) of a room devoted to all my crafty ventures. I'm so proud of my work area now that I wanted to share a few pictures! Hopefully, I will be motivated to accomplish a lot now that I have a clear, organized space in which to work!

Please pretend that the works-in-progress are not scattered across my work table. It really is very neat compared to what it looked like before!

I love storage containers!


My mother never ceases to amaze me by how much she can accomplish in such a short amount of time; her actions were motivating and inspiring! Her visit really helped me rethink how I'm spending (and wasting) much of my time. Now that I have Riley, the day just flies by! It's important to make every minute count.
