You Know You're A Mom When...

You have sold your gorgeous formal dining room set . . .


To make room for a play yard!!!


As you know I am juggling working from home with taking care of James. Well, I came up with a solution recently. Where before I had been barricading him into the family room with some ottomans, I decided to sell the formal dining furniture and use the space for a big play room for James.

The GREAT HUGE benefit of this is that my office is directly across the hall from the new play area, so I can keep an eye on the boy without moving my butt out of my chair. (Do they call that arm chair, ummmm . . . I mean office chair parenting????) LOL


Just an FYI, he LOVES IT!!! No more bouncing into the coffee table, plenty of room to run, the living room doesn't look like a battlefield of toys (well, I mean, yes, of course, if you walk in the front door I guess it looks like I run a daycare) but OH WELL!!!


So, for those of you who have joined us for the occasional formal meal . . . . ummm, don't forget to invite us over!!!

NOTE . . .

Ok, so, I had just finished posting this entry when I saw this from my desk . . .

TOO CUTE!!!!
