Much quicker than I thought it would be..
That was back when he was like 5 minutes old and slept all the time.In years past I’ve done fun things in the mud room like this.

all red mud room.tree farm inspired mud room..And my heart truly isn’t breaking over it.

Sometimes you’ve just got to let go of all of your type A over-the-topness and just enjoy the season for what it is, right?.I’ll almost definitely return to my time-consuming decorating ways next year when Jack is in preschool, but for this year, I’m enjoying things just as they are.

I hope you enjoyed your little tour too!.
Have a great rest of the holiday season!It’s no secret that I’m a little obsessed with built-ins.After being used for cleaning, rinsing off plates and dumping that last little bit of coffee out of the mugs for a few days, it can start to look pretty dingy..
I like to start out by filling it up with hot water and a few cups of vinegar.. Really hot water from your tap is often enough for cleaning, but if you really want to give it a good sanitizing, boil a big pot of water and dump that in there.If you’re using the hot water method of sanitizing, then your surfaces need to be in contact with water that’s 180 degrees for at least 30 seconds to kill off any unpleasant microorganisms.
I love this method because it’s fast and it’s effective!Don’t hesitate to use a thermometer either!
