Surfin’ the Net: Waiting for Baby Edition

By Mandi Ehman • September 6, 2009

My posting schedule has been decidedly unorganized for the past couple of weeks as we wait for Baby Sidney’s arrival. To be honest, we assumed she would be here by now based on my history of early babies, and after days of contractions and a very unsatisfying trip to labor & delivery this morning, I decided to go ahead and take a day off by sharing a list of posts that I know are written much better than anything I might write at this point.

Enjoy — and I hope to be checking back in with a happier baby update soon!

Hi. My name is Mandi and I’m an organizing junkie. I’m also a wife, and Momma to four little girls (5, 3.5, 2 and a new baby!). I've worked at home since our oldest was a baby, and like a lot of other moms, my life is a constant balancing act of caring for my family and my home, meeting my obligations and finding time for hobbies in there somewhere. Oh, yeah, in the interest of full disclosure, I’m somewhat of a kitchen dunce and I only like to pretend that I’m crafty. Read more here!

Thanks for all these links… what a great way to help us and help give yourself a break. I love to find good ideas, but it hard to know where to find them. I am FAR from an organized junky… I’m just a cluttery mess that is trying to reform! Thanks for your help!
