Hellobee Boards

Not sure yet! But the weather is sooooo beautiful so we have to get out.

Hanging out with DH this morning/afternoon and then I have SIL bachelorette party this evening...it'll be the first time I'm away from LO....not 100% looking forward to it

@Mrs. Yoyo: oh yay!! How nice to have another TN Bee!! We'll have to schedule a meet up somewhere! Hubs and I try to get out to Gatlinburg for weekends away and we go right through Knoxville.

@mrbee: A great solution!

We have an amazing view of the Wasatch Mountains though and I want to be able to access that as soon as we wake up and all other times except for naps and night

@mrs. Jacks home depot has these great black "mini blinds" made from paper. There is a sticker at the top to mount them and you size them to the window with a pair of scissors. They aren't attractive but ours hang behind our blinds so you can't see them. Also, they have clips to keep them open but you do that by hand (no mini blind string which I think is safer with kids anyway). They cost about $4 a window, which is really cheap and they work really well.

@Ms.SK: Oooh awesome tip! We need something that's kind of low tech because of the way our windows are.

Hmmm. Pedicure. Walk with the baby and then work. Right after work I get to do bed time for DD.

Am having a maternity photo shoot today, which should be fun! I've had a bad cold for a week, though, so I don't feel all that great. Will have to pretend all is well

Just lounging for now. I woke up about 4:45 when my husband got called to work and I had to get up and finish some paperwork for him to drop off with our realtor on his way home then I couldn't fall back asleep. Got up and was in a blah kind of mood so I've been vegging after taking a 2 hour nap. Just finished taco bell for lunch then this evening I might go to a dance recital with my mom while my husband's at a skeet shooting/bonfire/bachelor party for a friend.

I went to the farmers market and a couple of speciality grocery stores and did other shopping while my husband and his friend/one of our LO's godfathers installed new hardwood floors in the nursery! I totally got the better end of the deal, it's about 75 here and they've been working like dogs all day!

We went into Boston for a chocolate making class. It was very interesting and we learned some good techniques, but I ended up getting an upset stomach from all the chocolate. lol. It was scheduled over lunch time so all I wanted was real food. It was a fun day though, and now I'm going to relax while DH heads off to a bachelor party.

Breakfast, swim lessons, and watching the Preakness. One of those rare Saturdays that my husband doesn't have to work!

Other than that just cleaning the house and finishing projects before my IL's come into town next week.

I got up at 4 and spent 10 hours driving home from South Carolina. Now DH is making dinner on the grill! Ahhhhh. Time to relax.

I went to a friend's baby shower today, which was fun. Then I stopped by my parents' house to see my sister's new puppy and he is absolutely adorable!

@Mrs. Bee: I wanna see a picture of that window!

Ours are tricky because they are 100 year old, swing in hinged windows. Each "pane" is made up of over 50 diamonds and triangles of glass. The headroom is minimal to even put up a rod.

@ Mrs. Bee and Mrs. Jacks
Here is the link on the Home Depot site. This is for 4 blinds but i bought them 1 at a time in the store and they were cheaper. We have them up in 4 windows for over a year with no problems or fading. They are super simple to install as I said- u need a ladder and a pair if scissors. I did them with my Mom and it was easier with 2 people.
