Home Improvements

Two weekends ago, Frank* and I painted our room - we love the new color (it was white before) and now can't wait to add some fun stuff to the walls.
Above is a corner of our house that has been driving me crazy for a long time. This is actually what the girls dress ups looked like when they were "cleaned up". Usually they are spread out all over this corner and throughout the room. I absolutely love having little girls and I love that dressing up is such a big part of their existence right now. So I wanted to make it even more fun for them . . .
After a trip to Ross and with the help of Ned*, this is the much improved corner. Now the girls can find their princess shoes and jewelry. Ahhh, I am making order in my house one corner at a time. I have a LOOOONG way to go, but this makes me feel so much better!! The girls enjoy it too and like the mirror and knowing where to find stuff.
Lest you think that my house is always clean and organized, I took this picture on the way out of the girls' room. And this is no where near as messy as it often is. I'll try to take more "real" shots to put in here because a lot of people have the false impression that I am so on top of things. HA! I just get so excited when something IS in order that I have to take a picture of it! (o:

You are sharing a room with a guy named Frank? When did this happen? Explain the asterisks... or did you already?

Keith HATES my blog. Does *Frank hate yours?

Hmmm, nice idea for a dress up corner. Might have to use it. The wheels are turning now.

The only thing better than spring cleaning, is fall cleaning! (okay, really, I hate them both, but after I am done, I just feel so good and organized)
