Renovation Decorating, and Organization to do list Part 1

There are so many things I want to do around the house and since summer is starting to wind down I thought I would start by making a list.  Some of these will only take an hour to do and some will require a budget to complete but having them all in one place will help me accomplish them.

Starting on the 3rd floor

Aaron's Room before pictures

This is what Aaron's room looked like when we moved in to the house, as you can see it isn't a very big room.

We repainted it and got it ready for a baby boy,

When Aaron was 2 we converted the crib to a toddler bed and decorated the room in Thomas the Train, then last year he moved into a mates bed and I just bought a simple plaid comforter because he didn't show any interest in the boy themes you could buy bedding in (ie Cars, Spiderman, etc)

Now it's time to redo his room, since it hasn't been painted in over 5 years and he now loves Mario and Yoshi that will be the theme.

Long time no post

Wow once again I can't believe how time gets away from me.  This Fall has just zoomed by, between getting into the swing of Aaron going to Kindergarten and both of us being sick way more times than was necessary, the end of the year has come before I was ready for it.  I however am determined to be more organized in 2013 which includes at least weekly posts on my blog.

I've already started planning my next house update, Aaron's room.  It's time for him to get a 5 year old room.  I'll share my inspiration and before pictures with you tomorrow but in the mean time here are a few Christmas pictures of my litttle man

Before and during his Christmas concert:

Til next time, Happy New Year

Trying to get organized

As I told you in my first post I"m a procrastinator and a real good one.  However, I'm getting really tired of being disorganized and I know it would help Aaron alot if I was more organized.  I've pinned a lot of great ideas but never seem to do anything about them so this week I've visited some of those sites and made a list of great ideas, I've bookmarked some of my favorite sites here on my blog and after my dinningroom makeover I plan to get started, room by room.

It may not be much for some people but it's a big step for me.
