Works For Me ~ Making Lists

Lists work for me! I'm sure this has been blogged about thousands of times! I am a visual person so it helps me to see exactly what needs to be done. I also feel a sense of accomplishment when I get to scratch something off :)

Here's my list for today:

• get all laundry done, including bedding (I've been a little lazy about washing clothes the past two days)
• clear all clutter off desk
• sweep and mop floors
• clean bathrooms
• switch out winter and spring clothes (not sure about this yet, the weather has been CRAZY)
• fill Easter eggs for hunt
• sterilize bottles
• start packing for hospital

I just realized that seems like a lot of things to get done TODAY. Maybe I'm overly ambitious. OR maybe, just maybe I'm nesting??

Kitchen's DONE!

Okay.. I finally finished the kitchen!!! It took a while but I think it's as good as it's going to get!

I was hoping to put away the dishes before taking the picture but I knew if I waited 1 of 2 things would have happened.

1. I would forget OR


2. The kitchen would be destroyed again and I would NEVER get a picture!

So.... without anymore delay here is my cleanER kitchen :)

The pile of stuff on the cabinet all the way to the left is Piggy's.... It has been sitting there a while waiting for him to go through it. I moved all of the kids magnets to the side of the fefrigerator.. It looks so plain now, Adi says "It isn't pretty anymore" Anyways there it is.. I bet by tonight the 'short cabinet' will be covered AGAIN!

Time for Cleaning!

So, I have decided to tackle this mess of a house we are living in. I had some inspiration from Strawberry Blonde at Shack on the Rocks.

The first room I will work on is my kitchen. It may take me more than one day to get everything in order!! I am a little embarassed posting these pictures but I figured maybe I can 'embarass myself' into keeping it clean!!

The 'short cabinet' as we call it is the catch all area for EVERYTHING!! It's the first available space when you walk in the house so whatever is in your hands usually ends up there. Oh, and I have to mention.. Don't you just LOVE the paneling!! Not me, but we rent so there's really nothing I can do about it! :(
