I figured that the office would be a 2-day project, but I was just hoping I could get it all done today. Turns out it’s definitely a 2-day project.
Wil started teaching summer school today so I got started by emptying most everything from the office this morning. I dusted, vacuumed, and even got a few things put back before Wil got home. We had lunch together, ran a couple of errands, then came home to get back to work. Wil was a HUGE help and started by putting up a couple of shelves, then we went through his piles of stuff together, putting back just a fraction of what was there before. I put back some more of my things, put some things in my car to return or take to Goodwill, and Wil helped take some things upstairs. There are still a few piles of papers to go through and I need to go through the file cabinet – should be able to finish it up and post pictures tomorrow. Wil was a rockstar – I couldn’t have gotten this much done without him. I know it wasn’t the most exciting of activities, but I really enjoyed spending time with him.
I also got some very fun mail today. I recently discovered a new website for turning blogs into a book – Blog2Print. I had been messing around with Blurb, but was having to reformat everything – it was just taking too long and I wasn’t getting anywhere. I experimented on Blog2Print with the blog I wrote while pregnant with Graham, and had it turned into a book in a matter of 5-10 minutes (most of that time was spent choosing a color for the cover of the book). It was so easy and looks very nice without any extra formatting – it seemed too good to be true, but I ordered the book to see what it looked like. Well it came in the mail today and I love it! I am so excited that I’ll be able to put my blog posts into books – there to curl up on the couch with and look at anytime I’d like…there for my kids to look back at one day :) I’ve never been really good at writing in a journal on a regular basis, but I have been able to accomplish that and more with my blog. Now I can capture most of it in a book and it feels even more like a journal – can you tell I’m sooo excited?! They have a coupon for 15% off right now - enter iwantmyb2p during checkout (expires July 31st). I’m going to start putting this blog into books – need to decide how to separate them into volumes…FUN!
