My new plan

Because I want my room to look clean like this, so it will be my sanctuary.... (b/c right now it is the catch-all, that I never get around to cleaning)

and I am tired of looking at the pile of clothes, shoes, and junk shoved at the foot of our bed...

 It makes me feel peaceful to see my desk surface...

 When my bathroom is clean, I can fully relax, and for just a few minutes, pretend I am on vacation :) (and I want to find the time to paint my bathroom....any suggestions??)

 I know the reality is that my living room looks like this throughout most days, but I want it to be neat to end and begin my days...

 I am sick of going to bed to/waking up to a kitchen that looks like this b/c I am too exhausted from my day to clean it after supper (that, and the fact that it has already been cleaned at least twice earlier in the day)

 Because I hope to someday find the time to make something with my fabric I love

 But most importantly,  because these beautiful children deserve to have a mom that has as much time as possible for them, with a smile on her face :)



I am devoting myself to clearing out lots of STUFF, evaluating the tasks that are so daunting and time consuming, and trying to come up with a plan to make my life easier...b/c my new motto is "Less is More", and I am determined to make that a reality!!  I am sick of drowning in "stuff" b/c those precious children, that won't be little for long, and my sweet husband are all that matters...not the stuff.    The good news, I will be starting my day off tomorrow with a clean kitchen :)  I've gotta start somewhere!
