Looking inward and outward...

I often think that I could do better at everything than I already do. So every so often I really look hard at how I am as a wife, mother, teacher, Christian, and person. Lately I've looked around my house and thought about how it doesn't seem clean enough or decorated enough or homey enough. So I've been trying to be better about decorating, cleaning, and making it seem more at home.

Now I realize that I can't have a super strictly clean home since I have two small children. But at the same time, I get this overwhelming feeling of 'Holy-crud-I-have-too-much-stuff-and-it-all-seems-to-be-laying-around-on-the-couch-floor-and-tables'. Now, I know I'm not the only one who happens to be a stacker. Right? I just happened to be on Pinterest  :) and found this awesome sight on how to have a clean house in 15 minutes.... well, 15 minutes a day. Don't believe me? Check out the blog below!



Becky's whole sight is amazing! She also has a 31 days to a more orgnaized home. Wow, wouldn't that be awesome? I'm definitely going to be working on getting my life a bit more organized in my life. I'm finally feeling pretty comfortable in Kindergarten and the new material. Keep checking back because later on tonight I will be posting some freebies that I've made over the past few weeks!

Have a blessed day,

Happy anniversary to the best husband ever!

Happy anniversary to the best husband ever! Our life together is fabulous and it gets better each and every day. I am so very lucky to be married to you and to have the best children ever together. You are amazing!

Have a blessed day,

Cleaned up and organized!

I was going to write a post yesterday of my 'Friday Five' that I wanted to accomplish this weekend. I've already started on what my list would have been so now I can't really share it :) Plus, it's not Friday anymore so it wouldn't be a good alliteration either! I got up this morning with the intent to clean my house. So far so good!

I've swept and mopped my little girl's room, living room; vaccumed the dining room (can't wait to get rid of the darn shag carpet!); and straightened up each of those rooms. Now, my next step is to clean up the kitchen, little man's room, the master bedroom, both bathrooms, and my sewing room. I'm determined my house will smell clean and fall-ish today :)

While surfing Pinterest the other day, I found these to help you get organized in every possible way!



There are all sorts of different kinds of planners that she has found and linked up. I printed one off about planning a new blog post each day. It definitely helped me stay a bit more on track... not completely since I have skipped days this week. But way better than I've done in awhile! I hope you find something that helps you too!

Have a blessed day,
