Welcome everyone to the new site. I love it already and I have hardly had the time to even play around as much as I would have loved to.
In time you will see a few changes and updates, hopefully all for the good.
Today was one of those bittersweet days. Opa finally headed home after his two week visit. It seemed much longer than that. Although I love him to death and enjoy having him here it is always nice to get back to your usual routine.
I find I don’t clean as much when he is here and with Christmas and New Years, I did not get my weekly cleanings in. Tonight I did all three bathrooms in record time, and it felt wonderful. Cleaning is wonderful you say? Yes. I love my house the most when it is clean. I was also able to dust the upstairs so tomorrow all I have to do is run the vacuum. Then I have to tackle the main level. Once the two most used floors are finished I will head down to the basement which is almost complete. Yes, you read that correctly.
While Opa was here and Hubby was off they worked on the last remaining room, the recroom. It is very, very close to being finished. I honestly cannot wait. There will be a bathroom to finish but, I am hoping to stall on that one a bit as I just want to sort out the basement once the main rooms are done. It is fantastic. J loves to play down there already and he doesn’t mind if I go on the treadmill while he is playing so I am thrilled to bits.
And poor J, not only was he sad to see Opa go (as was I and Hubby, A too. Only Apple didn’t know exactly what was going on.) he came down with a fever this afternoon. Poor thing he started his holiday with a fever and it looks like he is going to end it the same way. I do hope it only lasts tonight as the tears with the Tylenol really suck.
Tomorrow, look for the update on my homemade Christmas. It was fun, but not as homemade as I wanted so I am already planning next year.

Welcome to the new digs!!!
Love the new look! Very clean and easy to navigate.
It’s so hard when someone we love has to go home. I’m sure you’ll see him again soon!
I love the switch! Nice! Christina always does such a great job.
Regarding the cleaning: I hear you. I’ve spent all day today getting my house back to normal and it feels GOOD!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Site! Looks good 🙂

You are cute. And sweet.
Hi Beach Mama
I just recently switched over to Wordpress too. There is a way to upload all your old posts from Blogger to Wordpress. Take a look in your dashboard.
If you need any help, just email me. 🙂

Well, this new joint here is spick and span!
Hey,and when the basement is all done, you’ll have ANOTHER bathroom to enjoy cleaning! Bonus!
Woot! Looks great, Beach Mama! Congratulations on making the jump… with the exception of a few weeks of spotty service from my host, I have been very very pleased with my own domain too. (And, as noted above, it’s super-easy to import your old posts, especially since you didn’t use haloscan for your comments.)
Love the new blog! All the best for 2008! Happy blogging! xoxo
You’ve left! But this is nice. I don’t have enough people reading me to pay for this,
Looking forward to all your new posts this year. HAPPY NEW YEAR. HAPPY NEW BLOG!
Yay for you, it looks great!
