While she was sleeping

Today I wanted to be productive, but I woke up in a bad mood because I'd had very little sleep (thank you, Pearl's teeth). Although I was quickly coaxed into a good mood by Pearl and Bobby, the tiredness has stayed and means that I'm still in my pyjamas at 11.18am. It's all good though, I have a Pearl sleeping on my lap right now, and we're watching new episodes of 'Man v. Food' - I loooooove food and that show runs the fine line between bliss and torture for me!
I can always be productive later. I think that I manage to fool myself into thinking that I've been productive if I just look at lots of home decor blogs online. My favourites are Design*Sponge and Vintage Simple, it's like house porn. I find English home design magazines so boring and same-y, and also mostly aimed at people much older than us. Because we are considered too young to have our own home with a family, they just don't cater for our tastes. Anyway I love looking at those aforementioned blogs and coming up with little things to change in our home. We haven't really got the time to do big projects at the moment, but it's nice to have lots of ideas stored up. This means that when we ever do have a little spare time or money, we know there's something we can update with that'll make the house feel so much more fresh. For example, today I think we will be satisfied with putting up a new display of pictures in the living room. Ideally the woodwork needs to be painted, but that's nigh on impossible with a 14month old running around. I also want to try and clean the net curtains. Our dining table is in the window, and the nets have become smothered in food that Pearl has either flung, or from where she grabs at them while she's eating. It's a good look but it's time for a change, haha.
Whether I even manage to accomplish these most simple of tasks remains to be seen.
