I desperately need to look at something pretty so let’s take a look at the floorboards and what they looked like before we put all our junk on it.

It wasn’t only for aesthetic reasons we tore up the carpet in favour of floorboards although that was a big reason. It was mainly due to health and being able to keep the floors clean with a little one in the risk zone of getting asthma, and a husband that already has it.

I just can’t get over how little dust we have now as opposed to when we were in the unit, which had carpet everywhere.

I still vacuum a lot but that’s more thanks to my rice cracker eating daughter, and her penchant for tearing paper, any paper, into minuscule sized pieces.

As much as we love the floorboards, and the CLEANLINESS of floorboards, they’re cold as ice. As in feet numbing cold. This will soon be fixed via two separate installations I’ll tell you about later, when they’re completed (end of June). Until then we bought some footwear to get us through the next couple of weeks.

So this is what the Banker got for our daughter. Real sheepskin Uggs. Very Australian. Very trendy.

And this is what he got for me.

Trying to tell me something, dear Husband?
