What is and is to come
This week starts the Wilson Clean Sweep. I am going through each room, one at a time, and making KEEP, SELL, and TOSS piles. Oh yea, and also a STORAGE pile. Since the place we’re moving into for the transition time is 1/10th the size of the ginormous place we’re in now, we have to store most of our stuff.
I’m sure the whole TOSS and SELL piles will be a lot larger when Kaylie is not watching me saying “Hey! Where is that going? Are you throwing that in the garbage? Are you going to sell that? WHY can’t I keep it? I’ll play with that again! Noooooooooo.”
In all likelihood, our Saskatchewan house will only have 2 bedrooms. We’ll be supporting a university student, so we’re trying to keep living costs to a minimum. Kaylie will be quite stoked about this as she wants to be around Liliana 24/7. We’ll see how long the honeymoon lasts, but I’m sure we’ll make out just fine.
Since we’re giving away Liliana’s crib to a pregnant friend of mine (Kaylie started launching herself out of her crib at about 18 months, so we’re transitioning Liliana out of her crib a little early) and selling Kaylie’s bed in the garage sale, I’ve been bed shopping a bit lately. I always though bunk beds were fun, so we might go that route. I am a huge IKEA fan, and so far I’ve discovered the MYDAL
and the TROMSO.
I’m not sure that I’m a huge fan of chrome, but I kind of like the bunk. Maybe we’ll just have to check it out in person. Calgary will be only eight (EIGHT!) hours away (right now it is 16 or more) from where we will live, so I’m sure we’ll frequent the Calgary IKEA. We really really really really really (to name a few) like IKEA. If you hadn’t noticed.

Whilst I was writing part of this post, my baby was playing near the pellet stove, almost burned herself on the front of the stove, and was eating pellets. Mother of the Year over here. I’m watching her more careful now Big Papi and Miss Sue, don’t worry. She was also chewing on a bandaid that Kaylie left on the floor (eeeeeeeeeeeww), but she didn’t swallow it. It had also just gone through the wash so at least it was clean(ish). Again, Mother of the Year, right here.

Next week I am starting an “Ode to my Family” series. What’s that all about? Well you’ll have to tune in!
YAY for IKEA!
The boys are in bunk beds and LOVE IT.
Watch out for the pellet stove - that’s what Emily burned her fingertips on :)

I had a loft bed when I was little, but became deathly afraid of the top bunk after my older brother accidentally put his feet through the ceiling, and I was sure I could hear mice running around.
Good thing Kaylie doesn’t have older, flail-y, hyper brothers!
(I still won’t sleep in top bunks if I don’t have to.)

I can’t stop laughing… a fellow IKEA lover here (our ENTIRE living room besides our widescreen is from IKEA!) because we have everything you linked.. except the boys have loft beds not bunk beds… I loove my computer desk.
Have fun purging the house.. it feels so good when you’re done. Once you’re in Sask. and go to Calgary for some good old shopping I can meet you there! I’ll only be 3hrs away.
Have fun “sweep”ing!

Love the wooden bunk!
we tried to purge Abby’s playroom and I can still hear the protest in my head “But that’s my favorite toy! (never seen her play with it!) Are you giving that to a poor children? No, not that!”
