Office/Playroom Plans

The more mobile Cam becomes...

The more visions of a play room addition to our home office

 are becoming more practical and realistic.

I really want a space where I can foster Cam's imaginative/creative side.

An extra special corner of the house aside from

 his room where he can hang out and have 

 personal space while offering a tech/tv free kind of entertainment.

(though at the moment...there is no competition for the swiffer and broom stick-dust pan duo)

I have always known a portion of our

home office would one day share space with

the little one, and now I am SO excited it's that time:)

If you remember our home office from my "nesting post" last year,

our office looks a little something like this for the time being...

This space needs organization and decluttered...

and I'm brainstorming how to do that as well...

The future "play corner"

So, we need a play area.  Decluttering.  And a WHOLE lot of Organization!

Here are a few of my ideas!

What do you think?

Do you have a play room/corner for your little ones?

I just love designing space for kiddos:)

Cam's "play corner" of the office...Coming soon!



Wordless Weekend

 

Russian Tea, Anyone?

With the recent snow storm threats here in the South,

I feel it's only proper that I share something

I am beginning to consider an essential accessory for wintery days at work.

When it is cold outside, there is little I enjoy more than a nice hot drink.

Coffee is always a staple, but sometimes I start craving somethin' a little different ...

My Nana's Russian Tea has been the perfect fix lately.

SO, I spent this past weekend stocking up on a supply for the upcoming week.

It has been just the mid day pick-me up I have needed to push myself

 through the remainder of the workday and back home to my muchkin!

Nana's Russian Tea

7 cups water (bring to full rolling boil)

Add:
3 regular size tea bags
1 tsp whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
cover, simmer for 5 minutes

Stir in 1 cup truvia (more or less depending how sweet you like it)
1 cup orange juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
*try fresh squeezed for a clean recipe:)

Tip: I store this in the refrigerator and bring to a boil everytime I want a fresh cup.

Hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as I have:)

No pressure, but I'll love you forever if you will whisper a prayer

and cross your fingers for a few weekend snowstorms!;)
