Thursday!

Day 4 for me to get back on track!
Thursdays are bedroom cleaning day, since we have been so off the last couple months, I seriously doubt I will be getting anything extra done today. But I can't wait to get these bedroom windows clean and (hopefully) let some sunshine in!
One of the things I do on Thursdays is change every ones sheets, and that means folding fitted sheets! I am really not good at it so I am always looking for sheet storage and HELP in general! 
Pinterest has made me realize I am not the only one who struggles!
This is what I have done for years, and I still love this concept, using one of the pillowcases as a "bag" for the whole sheet set.

I think I just need to find a better place to store them.
This chicky has a good set up
I think the linen closet is in need of an overhaul. Next week maybe?
I love this set up, so pretty!
But maybe something like these instead of baskets.

That is one thing about really getting back to cleaning every room every week, I see all the things that need attention, organization, repairing, replacing and donated. Next week should be full of organizing now that I am seeing all the things that need help! And probably some of the deep cleaning I won't get to today, like cleaning all the windows in these seriously messy bedrooms.

Tomorrows Organizing Friday will be a repeat pretty much. I HAVE to grocery shop, I haven't been real shopping in 4 weeks! Our poor pantry is pretty empty, so I will share it tomorrow.  And next week is super busy for us so having it well stocked will really help with the whole balance thing

Hope everyone has a good Friday tomorrow!

Day 3

Life cannot just be about clean fluffy towels and sparkly tubs..
Mini muffin was determined not to do her tidying of her room today.. she is such a cute snuggly distraction!  We took a little break while the little one was snoozing to read and be silly a while.



I SHOULD have tried to convince her to let me manage that hair a little! Girl is obsessed with a braid lately, like Miss Ashley (one of her teachers)  She likes it messy.. yikes huh?


And I did get those bathrooms done! And a little organizing too!
I was kinda drooling over the sweet grey stuff at Target but the egg holder only held 6 so I let it stay on the shelf, until it went on clearance then I snagged it, didn't have any plans for it. But I love where it is now!


Perfect little jewelry catch all for my regulars!
And I got that HUGE spot on the mirror too :)

Back on Track Day 2

Using my regular cleaning schedule, but adding a little more in each day so I get caught up.
Today I did the living room and half bath. Tuesday is usually my easy day, but I moved furniture around again and cleaned the laundry room. I think I could have stuffed a small pillow with all the lint I found. But already I feel better and today was easier than yesterday, and hoping tomorrow is better than today until I am not behind at all!

Tomorrow is bathrooms..ugg
But I am ready to have them done so I can have some free time and get those bookshelves painted!

Farm Chicks Show



SO SO excited to be going! I have wanted to go for years!
We only have a month to go and I feel like I have SO much to do to plan.
I don't know what to expect really, I just know we are gonna have a good time. There are a few of us girls going Aleisha{ Britches N Boots } Michelle {Chelletography} Jessica {Stitchen Daisies}.
And just like everything else, I have a list of course!
So much to plan!
What to wear, what to snack (5 hour drive), what to wear, what should we listen to and almost as important as what to wear is where are the Starbucks on our way!

So who all has been? Who is going? What are you hoping to find?
