The CK Daily – The Final Countdown
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
This week has gone by pretty quickly. I’ve been spending lots of time doing various work in the nursery and starting the process of washing all the things. I will say, my least favorite thing about getting the nursery together so far has been removing all of the tags off of things. There are SO many tags on every little thing and those little plastic clear tags that hold everything together that you have to search for on blankets and clothes, drive me NUTS. Anywho, we’re on the homestretch and are officially (as of today!) on the one-month countdown to the due date. We’re on the final countdown, if you will.
Also, I’ve been making some great progress on my goal of reading 26 books this year. I’m still behind on my goal but am quickly starting to make some great progress. I decided that rather than watching TV shows in the background while I’m working, I would give audiobooks and try and I am loving it! I started a book early this week and will likely finish it today. Are you a fan of audiobooks?
If you have any reading recommendations, send them my way! Have a great rest of the week!
