Baby is sleeping, husband is traveling, laundry is folded, & as of today, all of my books are finally put away. The nail that kept causing my rear tire to deflate over the past few days has been removed + the tire patched (after surviving 90 minutes at Discount Tire with an almost-1-year-old), & we shared a Spicy Chicken Sandwich at Chick-fil-A for dinner (feel free to nominate me for Mother of the Year). I went to the hardware store & bought the materials to install the mobile in the nursery (if only I were tall enough...), bathed & fed Q before putting him down for bed (in his crib! finally - we're finished sleeping in the closet), downloaded photos from our weekend in Austin, caught up with sister-in-law Cara over the phone, & sorted through some (simple) supplies that came in the mail for Q's upcoming birthday soiree this weekend.
The next few weeks are busy. Seeing friends & family, furniture arriving (hooray!) over the next several weeks, lots of travel for Mike (apparently the norm these days), & Quinn & I... we're still working on getting settled, & all that comes with that. In the meantime, I still haven't been able to fully digest the past several months, & every once in a while, I get overwhelmed when I'm sifting through all of the memories - the places we traveled, the people we saw & met, our friends that we exchanged see you later's with, all of the changes that have taken place. So much has happened in such a condensed period of time. I've found that 98% of the time, my brain feels like it's about ready to burst.
So. I organized books today. They're mostly in semi-temporary places, but at least they have a home for now. This order - it gives me a sense of calm. Lining them up, making them straight, organizing by topic, or color, etc... We'll call it book therapy.

LOVE it. It looks so good. And I think splitting a chick-fil-a sandwich is perfectly acceptable, by the way.
Nice! I like the color balance and the way you included favorite things from your last home...Just perfect!
it looks great.
They look so pretty! And Quinn makes for a cute tv! You should just make little red curtains and it can be his stage!
By the way. I don't think "busy" ever ends. I've learned to appreciate the tiny moments of calm in-between the craziness so I don't loose my mind. Not busy would be boring.
i like this a lot. everything fits perfectly. the blocks look adorable in there.
Looks stunning! I'm way jealous of how you manage to get everything to look so put together in a laid back way! Where are the abc blocks from?
Thanks, Oslo! The blocks are from Uncle Goose. I bought a set off of Mini Social when I first found out I was pregnant, & then was gifted a second set just before Q was born. Anthropologie carries them as well.

love button. i kind of can't get over how everything just fits perfectly. like, did you measure the block jar and tell the built-ins guy to "make this work?"
It's perfect! All of it!
Q is the best bookcase accessory.
I hate you for being so perfect at everything & love you all the same time.
Is that possible?
