Happy Monday!
I came to a kind of interesting realization about myself over the weekend.
I prepare for big changes in my life (like having a baby, starting a new job, etc.) by decorating, crafting and spray painting.
Hear me out.
When I was preparing for Miss L’s arrival into the world, I literally decorated and crafted the daylights out of her room. (I made Mr. Hoff spray paint while I was preggo.) It was my own way of getting ready and excited for her to get here.
I find that I’m doing the same thing to prepare myself for my new job.
I’ve been crafting and spray painting up a storm in order to mentally prepare myself to go back to work. {If you missed my going back to work announcement, see post here.}
As you can see, I am getting very excited. There are many more spray paint projects to come this week! Get excited! 🙂

So cute April! I love it!! Last summer I was preparing to start up my Kindy class after two years out of a classroom- I painted an old garage sale wing back chair orange and added bright buttons as the tufting… hemmed and added new curtains to the classroom, and even spray painted vibrant stripes on the big (old) classroom rug… not to mention repainted the shelving white. LOL. I totally get decorating for big changes!
April Hoff says
Wow! You really made that classroom your own! I love it!

Adorable! The kids are just going to be gaga for you. 🙂

They usually are for a week or so, then the novelty wears off as I start getting down to business! 😉
