Good Read

This is what I have been reading and I'm loving it! It's a really good book, I'm reading while organizing the house haha!!!

No time for "Fun Friday" is this right?

I had to long of a list to even do "Fun Friday" so sad! I missed out but Paige did help me organize my mud room. It always feels so good to get a messy area cleaned up. I don't know if anyone else has this problem but half way through we stopped and realized we had even a bigger mess now in my kitchen. Trying to find a home for every little thing we own can get hard! I also have a hubby who would love to hold on to everything! Love the guy but, come on- I always say just take a picture of it. At Paige's enrichment night they had an expert organizer who gave them some great pointers. We cleaned out a cupboard just for kids shoes, school papers they must keep (or think they do!) and a box for their special treasures. My kids also have a drawer in their rooms that is off limits for me. Every couple months I have them clean it out and talk to them about things to keep and things that are ok to throw away. For example: MacDonald's toys, cheap toys from Peter Piper or Ring Pops but no pop just the ring is left. It felt like I got a lot accomplished today!
