Detour!

You know how I promised everyone the after pictures of my studio the next day...well it is not going to happen soon, so let's take a detour!


Do you remember this beauty? No, I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about what is behind me...my built-in hutch. Can you believe this is the only before picture I have of it! I had some others but I think they got deleted when I cleaned up the picture file...anyway here is the before:

*Edited: Guess what? I found another picture!!!!

And here is the after...aaaahhhh, a breath of fresh air!

Be still my heart.

Farmhouse Fresh

It has finally arrived! The strawberry tray...my first Etsy purchase!!! I'm in LOVE ;o) I have been looking at this forever and finally decided to buy it, I'm so glad I did!




The tulips were on sale at Safeway, first time I have bought myself flowers...LOL! My daughter kept asking who the flowers were for ;o)









I love this little table-scape. It makes me want to bake a pie and then go work in the garden and maybe then milk a cow....just sayin'!

Spring has Sprung!

A little taste of spring has been welcomed into our home!







Along with spring comes the ever so wonderful 'spring cleaning'! I love this time of year when I can really freshen up our home and rid it of dirt and clutter! This is also the time of year when I like to think about how to make our home a more safe, happy and welcoming place to be.

I have though a lot about cleaning and how I clean this past month...so much so that I have asked some 'Leading Ladies' in my life for their advice and suggestions. The main thing that they all said was to "clean as you go!" This seems like common sense and I'm sure a lot of you do this BUT for me 'it's all or nothing." I wait until it's too late...or until we have guests coming...to do some major cleaning. Don't get me wrong, I keep up on the dishes and things that are necessary to maintain a healthy home but this is an area that I can definitely improve on ;o)

My main goal for the next few days is to get rid of clutter! Once this is done I can really focus on setting up a cleaning schedule ;o)

A great site to check out is flylady.net

I have tried to follow her cleaning routine but it didn't really work for me. Anyway, there are a lot of other great ideas and tips that I use.



Do you have a cleaning schedule? I would love it if you shared it with me!
