This year my little sister suddenly came down with chicken pox, and because I'm pregnant we can't be with my family. It will just be me and my husband in our apartment, and my dad will bring us some dinner. I am determined to make the most of it and enjoy all I have to be thankful for!

Thanks, this inspired me to turn our little used dining area into a baby area. We live in a 600 sq ft 1 bedroom and are expecting in April. If all goes well we can move by next July, but we may not be able to. We never use the dining table except as a catch for all our junk, and my sewing table is there. We hardly ever entertain! Now I am inspired to turn it into a nursery. So what if it's unconventional!?
I think this post is what the heart of AT is, or should be. For me, this post is "apartment therapy" helping me see my tiny shack apartment in a new way that fits my real life. Someday I will have the home that is big enough to fit my family and our needs, but for now I should embrace what I have. Thanks!

Who is going to sweep for minutes? but I know hauling laundry up and down stairs and across a courtyard for a few hours is a good workout!
