I came back from the States with so many great clothes that I have made a bit of a New Year's resolution concerning them. I realized that I have lots of good looking things to wear, but instead I always ended up wearing jeans. So for the past week I have been sewing buttons on pants, de-fuzzing sweaters, ironing shirts, and cleaning out drawers so that every single thing I have in my closet is fully ready to wear at any time. For the most part, I feel like Belgians always look really nice and "finished" so my new goal is to wear jeans less and look finished more. We'll see how it goes!
Today I helped a friend pack who is moving their family back to the States on their own (meaning without a moving company). I always seem to forget just what a pain moving is, but it only takes me about two minutes of packing to remember exactly how much I hate it. Helping him pack up was a good reminder to me of just how much junk we all have in our lives and how it can really drive you crazy when you are having to find a box for it all. Hopefully this experience will get me on a bit of cleaning/de-cluttering spree around here.
My friend Kelly had her fourth little girl over Christmas break. Dali was born on December 23 at 5:30 in the morning while her big sisters Sonny (6), Poppy (4) and Maya (1) were at home. Thanks to Kelly and Rich, I have been able to get a baby fix whenever I have wanted for the past three years!
