Spring Cleaning Day 1, 2010

I posted here last year, the true origins of spring cleaning.  This will be our second year doing 3 days of spring cleaning and though I am using my list from last year as a guide, this year we are incorporating more projects because Poppa took the whole week off to help.

Today we are starting in the kitchen.  The cabinets, appliances and refrigerator were given a good scrub and cleaning.  The counter tops were cleared and really deep cleaned.  The baseboards and floors were scrubbed and cleaned as well.  Cabinets and drawers were not cleaned out this year because they are pretty much still empty from our almost move.  Anybody know how to get motivated to unpack everything you packed when you thought you were going to move?

Next we turned our attentions to the kids rooms and closets.  Closets and drawers were emptied and organized.  All kids rooms were re-organized and cleaned and I found out exactly how much clothing my children own, phew!!!  I hope to not hear them say that they have nothing to wear ever again.

I am working on pink silk skirts for the girls to wear on Easter as well as making small ties for my boys and silk hairbows, toys for baskets and lots of other stuff.  I promise to share in a few days.  Right now, I am plopped on my coach wondering how the day flew by so fast.

Happy Blogiversary to CCM and a Giveaway

I can’t believe that it has been a year since I started this blog.  It hit me this morning that my blogiversary was coming up so I logged on and I couldn’t believe it is actually today.  I have the ability to know what time it is all the time without a clock but sensing that it had been a year since my first entry was weird.

I loved reading some entries to the kids, they had forgotten alot of the things we did this year and I realized that even though I started this blog to keep friends and family up to date on our life, the most wonderful thing is that we have the story of our life right here.

I wanted to thank all of my followers who have read my blog this year and especially everyone of them who sends me messages of support and comments.  To celebrate my blog and all of you, I am doing a give-away.

I made these this morning.  They are a set of five cute little crocheted flower sewing pins. On Thursday evening, I will pick a winner. All you have to do to win is post a comment, make sure you add your email address so I can get in touch with you if you win and make sure you are a follower.  I will use random.org to pick the winner so good luck and thanks for rolling with my blog.
