This week I focused on two spaces that needed a large burst of energy rather than a quick clean up: the kids’ room and clothing and craft storage. I also cleaned up my purse and a nightstand, and focused on keeping the laundry going and keeping things put away. Shortly after I wrote last week’s progress post, I got to work cleaning out the kids’ room: their closet, drawers, room, and bins in the attic.

Woo hoo, week 7! Today is day 39! Are you proud of yourself? I am. :) Since we technically still have today and tomorrow left, I am going to hold a link up next Friday.

This Fixture is Driving Me Nuts

I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m not waiting to patch and paint the hallway. I’m not waiting till I decide whether or not to paint the 4 doors, tons of trim, and built-in linen closet that is my hallway. This fixture is driving me nuts. (just like these pretzels are making me thirsty!)  source The yellow light and brassiness that is my current light fixture. It’s gross.
