A Room Fit For a Princess

So Andrew left this morning on his business trip, which leaves Madison and I with the car for three and a half days. This is a rare treat for us because usually we are carless. It's not usually a big deal because whenever I do need the car for something, Andrew is usually willing to take the bus to work the odd day. But now we have the car all to ourselves!!

Girls Day number 1 - trip to IKEA! We left most of our nice paintings and pictures in Canada so that we wouldn't have to lug them back and forth. Plus our apartment here is temporary, we're only here for two years. But it's been bothering me in the back of my mind that her room is white. No paintings, no colourful blankets. Just white walls and her toys on the floor. So as a treat to myself, we bought her a rug, curtains, a wall flower nightlight, blankets and pillows, all matching (of course). Minimal damage was done, in my opinion, and her room is going to look fabulous.

It's funny how once you become a parent, doing nice things for your children can feel like you've done something great for yourself as well.

It's a beautiful day.
Kim
