My Secret Room-

I have a Secret room....
and I am so excited!
So the little room in the back of our home was to be the baby's room, when the baby was still "the baby" living in my warm belly and going every where I went. We set up this little nursery room..with the bed, changing table, rocking chair.. art work... Well today all that remains of that cute little nursery for our son, is the art work... He has since taken over our room. But that is okay because I now have a Secret Room!
I am supper excited about it. I have set up my sewing/craft area, although I am still working on some shelving so the photo of "the area" will have to wait.. but today I will show you that I have organized my thread. How exciting!!
While crafting I also share this room with a piece of equipment I have always wanted! A treadmill! I am running at home now even in the dead of winter, with 3 feet of snow out side! Now that is exciting... ever since Winston was born I have wanted to hit the gym to burn off that extra pregnancy weight.. but could never make it! Actually ever since moving to Chicago I have wanted to go to a gym, but they are few and far between.

To burn off that weight I took to the streets with my stroller, but walking and running are not the same. My love for running has always been strong, I ran cross country in high school. Was running lots of races when we lived in Philly.. even completed a marathon! But ever since moving to Chicago running has been hard. The weather is awful most of the time, except those 3.5 months of summer we get, and running out side in the city has never held my interest after growing up in the country. Start - stop - start -stop .... that is why I love my treadmill. I hit start and away I go...and I can use it any time I want! Yea! Good bye Pregnancy weight!

Now I just wait for Nap Time!
