I have finally started the Conquer the Clutter Challenge, I am only two weeks late but am hoping the girls won’t notice.
Since the move, the Tupperware cabinet has been a nightmare.

After months of living with day to day breakfast plans I have made a decision to change the way my family does breakfast. Our normal routine (in the summer) is that I sleep while the kids whine around my bed for breakfast. I tell them what I am making and then they go downstairs and [...]

I started on my bedroom today. Before I began it was difficult to walk around, but now I can actually enjoy my room. My friend and I painted the walls sage green last week. I love the color, it is so relaxing. I still need to find a new comforter for my bed, I think [...]

I have to admit, I had a hard time thinking up something to write about for Laura’s Gratituesday this week. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to write about, it was that I have so much. There are so many things in my life, I am so blessed, that I had a hard time [...]

I hope all of you from Lara’s blog are not sick and tired of my home makeover posts. It is really taking up most of my time, so that is what I am talking about!

I am having company this week. I am so excited because I just love visitors. I especially love these visitors because they lived next door to us and so I don’t have to do a super great cleaning job. She has seen my house in every condition imaginable!
We have almost completely finished the moving in [...]
