Boys Bathroom Revamp

We experienced a blizzard (not really, but it did feel like it) a month ago and I took a couple hours to update the boys bathroom- for the millionth time, but who's counting.
First, I added a fresh coat of gray paint to the walls - replacing the original tannish color that I was never happy with.




 Then I continued my small obsession with painted ceilings, and the color Comfort Gray and added a coat of that to the ceiling.






After that was done I added a new aqua Octopus towel hook from the Young House Love line at Home Depot.
I hope you're all doing well!

An Evolution. Becoming a morning person: day one.

 

I am neither a morning person nor a night person; basically, I’m an middle of the day person (at best).  I also don’t make new years resolutions because I think you should just change behaviours as you see fit and not wait until the next year. So, I’m beginning a journey to become an early person. I just decided this morning. It’s going well so far ;)  

 

How I came to this realization was a coupling of things. First, I read a blog and the author gets up every morning at 4:20 am or something absurd (that will NEVER ever be me), and secondly,  I accidentally woke up 15 whole minutes before I was supposed to today and it was glorious. I unloaded the dishwasher and read a quick devotion all in the quietness of a house of snoozing boys. Then I started thinking of all the other things I could do if I actually woke up thirty minutes early. I’m not going to rush into this, of course. But I’m going to try to start getting up 15 minutes early for a week and then bump it up. We’ll see how that goes ;)  Think of all the projects I could accomplish! The one obstacle that may prevent me from doing this is the fact that when I usually have to get up early, all of the boys (even the dog!) wake up earlier for some reason. My almost five-year-old still comes into my bed at some point during the night (go ahead, judge away. I know I would) and the baby, who is normally a great sleeper, somehow also coincide their desires to become early risers with mine- which eliminates my desire to start the day accomplishing things. I’ll work on them becoming mid-day people while upping my early morning game;) 

Wish me luck!
