Decorating the Nursery

Now that we know we are having a boy I could get on with decorating the nursery. We decided to go with a monkey theme because my hubby is mad about all things primate. I painted a tree and monkey mural on the wall, which came out almost as good as I hoped it would. I have also be building a lot of ikea furniture for the new room as hubby is hopeless at decoding the instructions. We are not completely finished but I am really happy with how it is looking so far.




We are off to Paris for a long weekend, one last romantic holiday together before our little man arrives and changes our world forever. My shop will be reopening again on Wednesday.

Wishing you all a pleasant weekend, and don't forget to enter my blog giveaway to win yourself a free mouse.

Another entry in the baby-brain chronicles: I just put on potatoes to boil, but forgot the water. The whole kitchen smells like burnt potato now. Great, just great.

It's official, I have pregnancy brain!

I should tell you all a funny story. For those of you who have not had kids, there is a thing that happens to you while you are pregnant: You get really forgetful and absent minded, which some people call "baby brain" or "goo-goo brain". I was already pretty bad at remembering things as I am dyslexic, but now things are getting beyond silly:

I just got back from a hours drive to Haarlem to get some supplies, only to find that I had forgotten the most vital thing I needed.

Last night I was convinced there were only 30 minutes in an hour.

And yesterday afternoon I couldn't find my keys; after a panic my husband found them in the fridge!

*shakes head in despair*
