Nesting is real. You want to make the house beautiful and perfect for your new arrival. However, pace yourself because you also need rest. Here are some easy spring projects that will keep you busy.
Organizing cabinets/closets. Nothing too heavy or strenuous here. Reorganizing always feels so good when you are done. Shop for organizers and make your life more organized.
Cleaning the windows. One of the little things you can do to add a lot of brightness is to clean the windows of your house on the inside and avoid ladders. Stick to non-harmful cleaners. Soap and water do wonders.
Tackle the floors and add new panel flooring. The individual panels are light, avoid carrying an entire package. Light exercise is good for you.
