March has entered our home with a bang and a blast of balmy spring weather. I found myself today actually wearing capri pants and sandals! I'd be lying however if I said that I was ready for March as well as Spring.
Last night I found myself taking down the last remnants of our winter school room decor and adding what spring items I had to our nature table. I usually try to be prepared when it comes to school (by crafting ahead of time) but March really creeped up on me. Thankfully our lessons are pre-planned out for this whole month and most of next until baby comes.
Now that we're in March, my mind has flown into panic mode a bit. Baby Kleemann #3 is due in April and this month signals my last full month before their arrival. Granted there is a possibility that this little one will take their time and come in May, which is totally fine by me, but I'd rather be ready considering my other two children came 2 and 3 weeks early (at a healthy 8 pounds give or take each).
Really though I am 'ready' to meet this one when they decide to arrive. But the nesting part of my brain wants to have the baby's clothes sorted before then. I am guessing (note my sarcasm here) that with three children once the baby comes, I won't have loads of time to be sorting baby clothes then. :)
So here I am blogging, excited about the baby and March, yet also wanting a bit more time to get things in order before then. Come six weeks from now, when I am really uncomfortably pregnant, remind me I wished for extra time!
Until then,
Nicole
PS: Enjoy the two little creations I managed to sneak in below. A rainbow spring bunting and felt bunny- both courtesy of pinterest!
How exciting all round! It is so wonderful waiting to meet a new babe, so precious :-) Your nature table and spring decorations look wonderful. I finally put away our summer ones last night and then realised I only have two items for autumn - better get crafting (after I finish things for our swap!), have a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will shoot you an email soon to coordinate! I am so excited! Yay for Autumn and cooler weather :)
DeleteI love your bunting and your bunny. Both beautiful crafting! Enjoy your last full month before baby comes. What is that lovely book you have featured on your nature corner with a verse about March. I would love to know. Does each page feature each month? Happy March to you!! It has been such a beautiful day here too, today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly. It is a book by Elsa Beskow titled, All Around the Year. It has poems/verses for each month. It is a true treasure. I got my copy from Better World Books used for $4!
DeleteWhat a sweet bunny. I hope you enjoy these last few weeks. They go too soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I will try my best to soak them up!
DeleteWhat a good idea to just put a book as the background on the Nature Table. I'm not sure why I've never thought of that... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, have fun setting your table up!
DeleteYour nature table looks beautiful! I love the red angel. Best wishes for the new arrival - nothing is sweeter than a new baby. I must admit though to being glad that my last two arrived early - my first three were all late! And it gets to be a LONG wait once you go over your due date! Take care of yourself and the little one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jayne! I have yet to go over my official due date but I can only imagine how I will feel going later this time when my others came early. I just need to remember that baby comes when baby is ready- not Mama! My daughter asks me every morning if the baby came last night and I have to giggle. She is more impatient that I ever was!
DeleteWhat a beautiful Bunnie, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie! I am loving all your new creations. I will be indulging in one very soon for this babe.
DeleteHow exciting for your new arrival! I love all fo your creations and your nature tables. How nice that your weather has warmed up a bit, I am looking forward to a little warm spring sunshine. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you April! I loved your Little Red Riding Hood. I really need to pick up a copy of that felt works book you referenced.
DeleteA wonderful post. I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteWe're entering Autumn here in Australia. The colours are quite different... However, with Easter on the horizon, bunnies and such are on my mind too ღ
I found you via Donnie's link up on~ The Magic Onions. Happy I stopped by!
PS - what is the title of the book you have pictured behind the cinnamon quills? Beautiful image.
I am so happy you came by :) I love Donnie's blog. How interesting that our holidays are the same but with different seasons (since Waldorf is Euro-centric it must force you all in a different hemisphere to be more creative)! I was just thinking on how I would celebrate and decorate differently is I lived in Australia (I just did a swap with an Aussie Mama and made sure I made some Autumn goodies too)! The book is Elsa Beskow's 'Around the Year'. It has a lovely poem and story for each month. Hope to see you again :)

Hello Nicole! I just thought I would let you know that I listed your blog as one of my favorite blogs on my blog, lysareviews.com. I like to notify when I cite someone. I like your blog. I'd follow it, but I'm using wordpress now. I still check in sometimes though. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Thank you Lysa, I feel so honored :) I mentioned you in my post today! I hope to see you around again.
