I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and leather couches are SO easy to keep clean :)bonbonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580532603443802313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-18308528349360986312014-09-03T14:20:05.788-06:002014-09-03T14:20:05.788-06:00Great goals!

Look at them at different times of the day (lighting) and take off the ones that you know you don't like. Then once you narrow it down to 2 or 3 ~ you can buy lil cans of samples of the ones you like. Paint those on the wall (close together) and again look at them at different times of the day (lighting) and choose the one you like. :) <br /><br /> Reeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516885315219959524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-67443945959025468402014-09-03T08:44:08.247-06:002014-09-03T08:44:08.247-06:00I agree.

Ours is a creamier color. Not as pretty as black or brown but it lightens the small space we have. <br />As for getting it all done, you will. But now is the time to relax. Give yourself more time to get into a groove. You do r need to be superwoman. No need for a martyr mommy. If you want your little girl to have a calm attitude, you need to show her how. Easy to preach. Hard to practice. I also stress when the house is a mess. The vest thing I ever did was give myself two and only two things that I needed to get done in a day to not feel defeated. I wash dishes and do a load of laundry. Every morning I put in a load and swap yesterday's wash to the dryer. I fold and put away what was in the dryer. It doesn't sound like much, but with my 3&1 year olds it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

We compromised: I got the microfiber couch with a leather base, and he got a leather recliner. Win!<br /><br />Also, it's normal to feel totally out of control after having a baby. Your life totally changed!

Then in the summer, if you don't have the A/C on all the time, they get really sticky and if you're sweating, you stick to them and it actually kind hurts when it pulls on your skin. Ugh. Never again.

We have a strict no eating in the living room policy and we cover a lot of our cushions with cute blankets during the day (to be removed when company comes) But you can also put pillows and blankets on a leather couch, so it doesn't have to be awful (I'm not a fan of leather, but my MIL's couch was a cream leather and it's pretty cute) Let me know if you need help with any design stuff! ;) Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06520199684836826209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-5977461013557951772014-09-02T13:15:39.806-06:002014-09-02T13:15:39.806-06:00The baby pretty much took over our whole apartment...The baby pretty much took over our whole apartment. Stacks of diapers and wipes in our bedroom, the baby room, and all over our living room floor... It just makes changing her so much more convenient?

Our microfiber light couches are trashed... Especially bc of James and his drool and spit up and the girls taking pens to the poor things. Leather is so much easier to clean and keep looking nice! Also, if you want a softer lighter look or what ever there's always cute throw pillows, curtains, rug, whatever to help accentuate the bland looking leather couches. Trust me on this one!! And good luck, I need to call you!!

I didn't really crave junk food during the pregnancy, but as soon as Rhys was born, all I've wanted was junk food. Also, we're looking for new couches, too. One to grow with us. We're thinking of getting the piece-by-piece sectionals by LoveSac. Check them out--it looks like a great long-term investment!Tayler Morrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451482104180503209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-54122133323752297872014-09-02T10:06:59.471-06:002014-09-02T10:06:59.471-06:00Let the details slide & enjoy your baby.
