First of all, Happy New Year everyone! For the last week or two, I’ve been taking a much needed break, taking it easy and enjoying my family in a way that I haven’t been able to in a long time. Now it’s time to get back to work! This year, I have decided not to make any New Year’s Resolutions. It’s not that I don’t have goals I’d like to accomplish in 2010. It’s just that when I make resolutions that coordinate with the start of a new year, I tend to let them fall by the wayside before March 1. Sometimes before February 1. Instead, I’m just making a list of things to do that I’ll cross off as I go. I’ve already begun to tackle a couple, but one of the major points on my list is to get our home better organized.

If you ask my husband what life with me has been like since we moved into our apartment, he’ll probably tell you it’s somewhere between everyday craziness and full-on, straight jacket, lock-me-up-and-throw-away-the-key insane. I’ve bought fabrics and sewn pillow covers, only to change my mind about them hours later. I even bought a chair and made my husband strap it into the trunk of our tiny Honda Accord, only to decide once we got it home that it just wasn’t right.

I’ve been running into great deals on green nursery furnishings left and right. Maybe it’s a sign that my baby fever is turning into self-fulfilling prophecy. As much as I like that idea, right now it’s probably best that I stick to dreaming. Still, the great deals on this eco-friendly crib and high chair don’t help. The twin bed is equally as beautiful, so I’ll keep my eyes on that piece for the daughter I already have.
These prices wouldn’t exactly qualify as bargain basement, but as quality eco-friendly furniture goes, these are pretty good. It’s not uncommon to see this type of furniture priced in the thousands of dollars.

I’m coming down with a serious case of baby fever. Perhaps its the fact that we finally have enough room to welcome a new addition to our family, or the fact that it’s been a few years since I held an infant in my arms and I want my daughter to have a sibling in the household, or that so many of my friends, both in the bloggy world and the real world, are either pregnant or new moms. Most of all, it’s probably the lure of a new nursery to decorate. In any case, I’m getting a serious itch to have a new baby. I’m not the only one. My friend Renee over at Cutie Booty Cakes wrote about the same thing yesterday. These feelings, of course, have led to my imagining what my baby’s gorgeous, green nursery would look like. The new Eicho and Roh nursery furniture collections from Spot on Square are making my itch exponentially worse.
