Day 4 of 31 Day to Clean

Day 4! Create a Sense of "Put Your Feet Up"! Well personally when you enter my home I feel like it is very inviting and that you can just walk right in and sit down and relax. One thing that has been bugging me is that I packed all out pictures when we thought we were moving and I didn't want to go through hanging them all back up again if we were going to be moving. Well I changed my mind. I went ahead and hung up all our pictures and now I feel so cozy at home (it's almost a bad thing). I love having pictures of family everywhere having fun and enjoying each other.

On our dining room wall (also our computer area).


Up our stairwell. I think this is my favorite set of pictures.


On our living room wall above our couch.

So now that I feel our house is looking pretty inviting and relaxing (and it must be working because Miah is passed out on the couch) I have two more things I need to do. One is buying extra padding to go under one half of our sectional as the hid-a-bed is bent and makes it uncomfortable to sit on but that is going to have to wait until Miah gets back to work and we know what his new job is paying. The other thing I need to do is clean the oven. I have a self cleaning oven but when it's done it doesn't look very clean so I made a call to my mom and she told me the only other thing to do is scrap it out. So here I go. I'm going to get the shop vac out of the basement and my Pampered Chef Scraper (which I love) and I'm going to scrape out my oven.

So no shop vac. Couldn't find it but the oven is cleaned. We have no microwave so that was the easiest job so far in my cleaning. Now it's off to cook dinner and enjoy some more family time.

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...

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...

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...
