- big brother gift
- big brothers bag for MILs

Whoever invented dust ruffles should be shot. Annnnddd whoever invents one with iron / wrinkle free fabric can have all my money.

Crib has been raised and dust ruffles ironed.

Goodnight. I am exhausted.

Girl, you are nesting. Who irons the dust ruffle??

You are reminding me of the day I spent hours sweeping my garage last pregnancy. Totally time well-spent.

[erinshelley21]

The damn dresser is so F'ing close to being done. The screws that came with the handles are too short. I went and got new ones yesterday after measuring one that was used on the original handle and those are too short! Ugh! I just want to see my finished product!!

[mikaela20]

I've never had ironed sheets in my life and feel like I'm missing out now. I guess on the rare occasion we stay at a hotel, they are ironed, I think?

We just need to make more money so we can afford a housekeeper- simple right? Maybe one day.
