The List...

4:30am.
Seems like a great time to be lying wide awake in bed creating the project list of everything I would like to get done before Baby M arrives in May, right? Unfortunately, I'm not talking just the baby room project list....
There are a few random things around the house I've been putting off for a while now- but I would LOVE to tackle it all before I'm distracted by all that baby awesomeness.... I think lists are so rewarding when you're able to cross stuff off, so here it goes. Baby M's nursery list first....
