Nursery!
Nope, Hazel's not old enough for nursery yet. But she still gets to hang out there on Sundays. Why? Well, I just got released as the Relief Society secretary and called as a nursery leader. Although I will miss my old calling tremendously, it's a fun switch. Plus, Hazel loves coming to play with the other kids in nursery.
It's amazing how the Lord knows to put us in the right place at the right time. I loved my calling in RS. The RS president is amazing and she taught me so much about how to love the women and serve them. I will be forever thankful for her example to me. But at the same time, it was a very hard calling for me. For one thing, I was constantly trying to juggle Hazel on Sundays while I attempted to take roll, make copies, welcome new sisters, etc. Also, with working full time I was never able to make visits to sisters like I wanted to. But then the Lord saw fit to switch me to a new calling where I get to play with Hazel and the other sweet little ones. The strong spirits children possess never cease to amaze me. I'm so excited to work with this darling kids, especially this one......

Hazel's Room
I said I would post pictures of the new apartment but a month and a half later there are still no pictures. Sorry. I've been holding off because I've been trying to get crafty and do some very cheap redecorating of the new apartment. We have mis-matched furniture and picture frames, but I'm determined it make it all more cohesive. We got $100 from Rent.com because we used them for find this place so that is my budget for the remodel. It will be exciting to see how far it takes me:)
Hazel's room was my first project because it was so easy to think of fun things for her:)
Budget breakdown:
- Polk-a-Dot removable wall adhesives - $9.99
- Decorative letters x5 - $7.50 (on sale at Hobby Lobby - love that store!)
- Paint for letters and picture frames - $0.88
Total: $18.37
We already had everything else. Here's the end result. It's not going to make a Pottery Barn catalog or anything, but I'm pretty proud of it!
