I tested all kinds of gliders, and it’s true, they are an amazingly comfortable seating solution, especially the ones that slide and swivel and come with the footrests that slide too, but the thing is, I don’t really get gliders. I surveyed friends prior to Hattie’s arrival about what items you really need when a baby is born (most of those magazine lists are pure marketing ploys, btw), and one of the biggest purchases that everyone recommended was something I heavily contested: Buying a glider.
It was in anticipation of these long nights that I expected that I would need a chair of some kind, some place to make myself comfortable at 3am. It’s a transition that I expected to be painful, not because I felt an overwhelming emotional need to have her sleeping directly beside me, but because she isn’t sleeping straight through the night at only 3-months old.
I’ve been taking concerted efforts to choose a spot that helps to represent what area of the house we’ve been improving. Saturday’s photo definitely required a fireplace shot (I also took a photo in this same position a few weeks ago so we could compare the dramatic B&A when we look back through these family photos someday):Įarlier this month, we transitioned Hattie from the cradle beside our bed to her own crib. We’re 15 weeks strong on our mission to take a weekly photo with this new girl. I got into the rhythm of blogging as a way of journaling our home activities in both DIY and lifestyle categories, and I know I’m going to notice the gaps when I look back in the future. I’m already regretful for posting less since the baby has been born I have almost no record of what we’ve been doing. You can find me writing for HGTV and DIY Network, follow me on facebook and instagram, or drop me a note if you'd like.
I'm a home improvement enthusiast, living a very merry DIY lifestyle.
