Day 3 of 31 Day to Clean

So day 3 of 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae went well. Since we hired someone to come in and do our spring cleaning and she dusted all of our cabinets and behind our refrigerator and oven I didn't do the dusting part but we have lived here for over 5 years and I don't think that we have ever polished our dark wood cabinets (if we did it was right when we moved in) and I have to say they look awesome. We are suppose to be moving in the near future so I debated about doing this but I figured why not make it look nice while we are here and then they will still be nice for the next person when they move in. I also polished out china hutch and it looks awesome. It belonged to my grandparents and I have had that for almost 10 years and have never polished it. It looks awesome too! So excited to have everything nice and shiny!

I also know what my family needs that makes them the happiest about the house. Less clutter and less dust/dog hair. Both Miah and Rex have allergies and if I can keep the clutter down it makes it easier to dust which is good for me but they both get more stressed the more stuff that is out and around. So my goal everyday is to pick up as much as I can around the house and to get rid of everything that we don't need. I also make Rex clean up his toys before lunch and before bed time so that after nap he's not stressed from all his toy mess and same in the morning. He really does do great. I also normally have him clean up his toys before Miah comes home for work when he was working in state. Now that he's home all the time and looking for a job he has to deal with toys everywhere because that's the way it is with kids. He really doesn't mind.

No pictures of our kitchen today but I will tell you our cabinets are nice and shiny!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
