Shifting

So it turns out that the only thing harder than completing house projects while caring for a baby is blogging about whatever project you might have finished...

That's if (and it's a big one) you actually finished something.


Even when they're industrious little imps who help with the weeding.

This space has been sadly neglected for quite some time - it's been about a year since I posted anything house-related. (Coincidentally the same age that Adelaide turned a few weeks ago!) It's been difficult enough to find time to work on the house, let alone document the projects. And that's a shame. If this blog served any purpose in our little life, it was nice to have evidence that we are, in fact, making progress. And progress is good! It's fabulous! It's just...hard.

But please don't think that I'm complaining. Oh. No, no, no.

Because if having Adelaide in our lives has taught us anything, it's that flexibility is also quite fabulous. And doing things together is much better than splitting ranks, even if it means adjusting your timeline or methods, or wearing a baby on your back.


So I guess what I'm saying is that I think I'd like to reclaim this little space, even if I don't strictly post about home renovations. I'd like to have a place to tell a few of our stories and stash what's going on with us these days, even if it doesn't (always) involve powertools. With Adelaide, life is messier and projects get done more slowly. But I guess that's just part of the story, for now.
