Really. It's taken me 6 months with everything going on to finally get some stuff done that I have been wanting to. Like getting down to the nitty gritty of my house and CLEANING. I have been thinking about it for awhile, and it's been driving me nuts. Then finally motivated by my cousin, I made the plunge.
And let me tell you, it feels GOOD. Baseboards, walls, doors, furniture, windows, floors, ALL OF IT. Ahhhhhhh. It's a fine feeling. Following my cousins links to Simple Mom's website was a treat too. Not only did it have some great pointers on my 'Spring Cleaning', but it also has made me want to make a few tweaks to my current daily organization. So far, so good. I highly recommend checking out Simple Mom.
Also while on the cleaning subject, I would like to touch on the subject of children and chores. A friend that I have made through my s-i-l and blogging, posted pretty much my exact sentiments on the subject. Like WHY I want my kids to do chores, FOUR TRUTHS that I believe in as well, and AGE APPROPRIATE CHORES that has a pretty good list. And just to show you all that I believe in kids doing/helping with chores, look at my six month old already helping take the laundry to put away!

Cute baby!! I can't believe you did all that cleaning! It does feel good though doesn't it? Winter up here is hard because everything feels so gritty and muddy and dark!
Anyway, love you tons and I miss you!
That's my motto as you know...Start them before they know they don't like it!! ;)
Good for you! I wish my house was that clean right now. Our closets are jam packed with random stuff. I think I need to do some serious de-junking and cleaning here soon... You've inspired me!
Oh...I love that site too. I just wish I could make it all happen. It seems like I get something cleaned up and little e follows behind me and destroys it all again. I need you to come and help me:) Tickets are cheap on southwest...$39 each way. I couldn't believe it myself!!
