I washed and put away the baby’s clothes over the weekend. Slowly but surely everything is finding its place. So hard to believe he’ll be here in just 6 weeks!

Like most people, I definitely have some bad habits that I wish I didn’t have! 1. I bite my nails. I know how awful and disgusting this habit is, but I’ve done it since I was a kid and it’s really hard to stop. The only time I ever stop is when I get fake nail tips put on at the salon, or if I get a manicure. I can’t bite the tips, and usually getting a manicure lets me grow out my nails a bit – at least until the polish chips off. This is probably one of the hardest habits I’ve ever tried to break and right now I’m not too successful at it. :( I tried getting a manicure a couple weeks ago and did not bite my nails for a full two weeks. Then the polish started to chip and I didn’t have time to go get another manicure, so I just redid my nails myself, and I have not been too good at keeping the urge to nibble on them away. This is a habit my husband REALLY hates, though… and the last thing I want to do is be a bad example for my kids and encourage them to “follow” me in the habit themselves! 2. Procrastination. This is a bad habit that probably goes along with a bit of laziness. There is a lot that I often leave until I absolutely have to get it done, and then I stress about it! I’m trying to be better at not procrastinating on getting all of the baby stuff done… it helps that my nesting instinct is starting to take over :) 3. Messiness. I do have a cleaning lady, so my house is always CLEAN…. it’s usually just messy! I typically blame this on the fact that a) I have a 3 year old whose toys somehow manage to get everywhere, and b) I don’t have a lot of storage in my house. I know there is much more that I can do, though, — including throwing away things that I really don’t need. I plan to get my house really organized in the next few weeks though, since I have to get things in order before having this baby! I got a bunch of organizational supplies recently, so I’m hoping to get things put away and find more things that I can get rid of before the baby comes! What are your worst habits? no comments 
I always liked nice handbags, so after I had Zachary and switched to using a diaper bag, it took a while for me to pare down all the contents of my bag so that my stuff would easily fit in to my tiny section of the diaper bag. After Zachary was around 18 months or two years old, I quit carrying around a diaper bag and just used a bigger handbag that could fit some extra diapers and wipes. And of course, now that Zachary is 3.5 and we haven’t really used diapers for the past year, I’ve been using a regular bag, but I stopped feeling the need to carry my life in my bag. So there’s really not too much stuff. I usually alternate between my Fossil bag, Vera Bradley, and Coach bags, but I tend to choose purses that have a long cross-body strap since I’m usually running after Zachary and don’t want to worry about the bag hanging off my arm. At any rate, here are the contents of my handbag:
What you see is: Walgreens brand hand sanitizer, Bath & Body Works Sinful Vanilla lotion, my Kate Spade green wallet, TUMS Smoothies (necessary for any pregnant lady!), Welch’s fruit snacks, an organic lollipop, a granola bar (those 3 items are all for Zachary in case I need to feed him a snack while we’re out), my ginormous keychain, Zachary’s sunglasses, some Wet Ones antibacterial wipes (I go through a lot of these), 2 lipsticks, a backup charge for my iPhone, a random CF card for my pro camera, a Kleenex tissue pack, Zachary’s iPhone (yes, my 3.5 year old has his own phone because I upgraded to the 4s and gave him my old 4 as an iPod touch), a few of my battered business cards (that reminds me, I need to put more in my bag), and an IKEA family card and receipt from an IKEA visit a few days ago. I also usually have my own iPhone in my bag, along with a Take N Toss sippy cup full of water for Zachary, and sometimes a water bottle for myself. Occasionally I have my point & shoot camera, the Canon G11, and typically my own sunglasses are in my bag, too, but I left them on my dresser yesterday after I got Zachary at school. no comments |
