Tho I'm not even sure if I care to re-pierce. </p> <p>I'm waiting till DS3 is older to wear necklaces again. DD2 broke so many of my necklaces, I just stopped wearing them. </p> <p>Oh man, the list goes on! DS3 is only 14 months so I have a long way to go :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923079 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 10:59:43 +0000 jhd 2923079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to get a new couch or a sectional but waiting until there’s less chance it will get spilled on or peed on! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923076 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 23:25:32 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2923076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My holes have closed up too! I can’t wait to re-pierce my ears and go on an earring shopping spree. All I’ve owned were cheapo earrings because the last time I regularly wore earrings were in my mid twenties.</p> <p>I’m waiting for the kids to grow up to get new lingerie! And a new wardrobe.</p> <p>And to work out regularly! I think I would love to swim, dance, or do yoga regularly but I really can’t manage that right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923075 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 22:57:44 +0000 ALV91711 2923075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: I want to repaint too but we waiting. We’ve been in our house 7 years, our oldest is 8 and youngest 2.5. I think we will wait a couple more years though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923042 Thu, 25 Mar 2021 09:27:25 +0000 JennyPenny 2923042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh, you guys reminded me of another. I really want to refinish our floors. We have hardwoods downstairs that are super scratched and carpet upstairs that's showing its age. But I want to wait until the days of scooting around on inappropriate objects is over :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923040 Thu, 25 Mar 2021 08:01:57 +0000 caitcat 2923040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jessiemuller88: Yes to the rugs! I desperately want to replace our family room rug...but that's going to have to wait a few more years. </p> <p>We have a big tv entertainment cabinet that feels so outdated that I'm itching to replace with something less bulky, but we use the DVD slide out drawers to hold small baskets of little figures/toys for the kids, so it's sticking around a big longer too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923038 Thu, 25 Mar 2021 07:53:57 +0000 Mommy Finger 2923038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved into a house when my oldest was 8 months and I hated the indoor wall colors but didn't want to paint until the kids were older. Now they're 8 and 5.5 and we're finally about to have the whole house painted. I've sort of learned to live with the colors and I'm glad I waited b/c DS2 definitely didn't get the "crayons aren't for walls or the fireplace" memo and I didn't freak out b/c I knew we would just paint over it. </p> <p> @JennyPenny: I haven't worn earrings since my wedding day. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923037 Thu, 25 Mar 2021 07:43:18 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2923037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: my earring holes closed up too! </p> <p>One thing I’m waiting on until the kiddos are older is a new rug and sectional for our living room. With all the crumbs and spilled milk, a new one wouldn’t stand a chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923036 Thu, 25 Mar 2021 02:59:35 +0000 MoonMoon 2923036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely considering a tattoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-until-kids-are-older#post-2923032 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 13:48:36 +0000 JennyPenny 2923032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pierced ear holes have closed up in the years of not wearing earrings because of having small children and I feel like I still want to wait another year or two (youngest is almost 1) to get them re-pierced so it doesn't happen again. This got me thinking - I wonder how many things women put off until they're done having kids or their kids are past the little years. So just for fun, is there anything you're waiting to do? </p>
