Cleaning

I am in the cleaning mode! That means things are getting sorted and purged. I have already gone through the girls toys and now I have to figure out what to do with what we are getting rid of. I was going to save it to have a garage sale but I think it is all going to Goodwill tomorrow. I am hoping to make life a little more simple by purging the things we don't need or use. I am beginning to think that a cluttered house is a cluttered mind! Here are some of the before pictures of the clutter that is our house! Hopefully I will be able to post some after less clutter shots soon!

Mother of Four


I am soon going to become a mother of four! No we are not having another child or adopting. We are going to be welcoming my cousin to come stay with us for about 4 weeks. We are so excited to have her come stay with us. My girls can't wait to have her here. I am excited to have the chance to get to know her better! I am also a little nervous to have her stay with us. We are not very exciting people. We don't do much in the way of creative and exciting things. What if she is completely bored and wants to go home? I just pray that she enjoys herself and wants to come back next summer.

I am so in awe of one of my friends. She and her husband are right now getting to meet their daughter for the first time. They are in South Korea adopting her. She has been an inspiration to me. She makes me want to be the best mother and person that I can possibly be. I only hope and pray that I can be half the person and mother that she is! Thank you Jill for that inspiration!

These three are why I want to be a better person!
