My post today was meant to be a fun, quick, organizational post, with the last touches for the tops of our IKEA shelving units that we organized on the weekend.
However, I went to two different stores and couldn't find a single small basket that I liked or worked for the project... so this story does not have an ending yet!

Day 143: Success at School
Doing my Master's degree has felt like a marathon, a never-ending one. Full of pain, yes, and shortness of breath at times but also experiences of small (or larger) triumphs. Today was one of those happier days.
Up until today I had only recruited 8 retirement home residents from 4 homes across southern Ontario. Today I spent the entire day at one retirement home and signed 7 residents up for my one-hour study, with a potential of having 2 more join later. Even if a couple aren't able to come for whatever reason, I have still basically doubled my number of participants.
Good day!! (really tired)

Day 141: Pregnancy Announcement Inspiration
Here is the main photo for our my inspiration:
It's super cute! Made me want to own TOMs and buy some for my unborn child. However, we left the purchase of baby shoes until the last minute (week before Christmas, for our Christmas announcement) and so went to the children's consignment store and paid $1 for our pair of shoes.
Below is myreplica modified picture:
I also snapped 2 other photos and played with them a bit too.

Weekend Re-cap Day 139/140
Saturday January 26th - A Little Night Music
We enjoyed an evening performance in Hamilton of A Little Night Music. Andrew's brother was Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm, the dragoon who needs to be taught how to be a more devoted husband :P Among other highlights was the dropping of his pants... not something we were expecting, but (no offense) we were relieved it was only the pants that came down (as I'm sure he was!). In all seriousness, it's great to see a group of people come together to put on a musical. I loved hearing them sing the songs from this Stephen Sondheim musical.
Sunday January 27th - Organizing the Games
We put together an IKEA Expedit shelf to match an already existing one in our dining room:
We then took the time to reorganize the existing shelf as well as the new one. On the existing shelf, we put the games we were most likely to use, as it's more easily accessible and closer to the middle of the dining/living room.
In the top sections of the new shelf we put other games and a couple puzzles that we like but use less often. In the bottom sections are my scrapbooks! They finally have a home and don't have to be stacked on the floor or a table.
