My amazing mom came to visit us for 2 months. She just left a couple of weeks ago and we miss her terribly! We had such a fabulous time together! She was so gracious, and didn’t even complain about…..…where I made her bed. What kind of daughter puts her mother in the garage!?!?!
Agh. I am embarrassed to even write it. But in the house we are now in, we don’t have a guest room. The initial plan was to put her in with Marae, as Marae has a double bed, but after thinking about it more, I thought it might be a bit much for both Mom and Marae – to share the same space for 2 months. So I had to get creative. Our attached garage is split into two sides – so we made one side into the true garage and the other side we put a bed into, tried to soften the walls by hanging curtains over them, borrowed a dresser, put in an extra chair – and walla! Our new guest bedroom/garage. 🙂 Anybody want to come visit? 😉
Mom never complained about her room and in fact, I think she quite liked having a quiet little place to escape the bedlam that is my home sometimes!
Happy memories of our 2 months together. Love you, Mom!

My dear daughter, no need to be embarrassed
you fixed the room up beautifully! I had my own space where you all good have me go when I got a little to bossy.
I did have a lot of fun. Talk about missing!! I’m missing terribly. I am in an empty house most of the time:(.
Thanks again, lots of fun.

We still call it your room! 🙂 Even though Nate and Elise have it overrun with toys right now! 😉 Love you loads, Mom!

Well my guest room only has a double bed and a night table in it. You also have to share it with a playpen plus area to walk around the bed is almost non-existent and the only place to open a suitcase would be in front of the door. I like your room better already!

Haha! You are right, dear Paloma! My guest room definitely sounds like it had more space than yours! Hugs to you my friend!!
