It's been a while...

I know, I know, I've been gone for a while.

I'm just having to readjust to my new routine and the lack of sleep... and I've tried to make sure blogging didn't come first.

I was doing pretty good keeping my house clean right after the baby, but I've gone backwards a little bit since. I'm working on de-cluttering. I had to go through all of D's old clothes to find stuff for the new baby and I was having the hardest time putting my own clothes away as I had my pregnancy, pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy clothes all over our bedroom as every day was a challenge to find clothes that fit properly. I think most of it is sorted now. I've lost a looot of weight.

I still have lots of things to catch up on in the house.

I'm working on having a place for everything and everything in it's place!!! Helps me get rid of things that I only keep for "sentimental" value... Don't get me wrong, I keep a lot of stuff for sentimental value, I don't just throw out keepsakes.... buuuut I seem to attach sentimental value to everything, even very little nick-nacks, things that don't really mean anything. sooo.......

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN IT'S PLACE!!!

This will be my motto for the month.

I am soooo excited. This is our last month with tenants in our basement. We are taking over the basement May 1st. I can't tell you how much this pleases me. We will be able to take our freezer out of the garage and put it in the basement (we will be able to clear a lot fo stuff from the garage). Actually, just this last week we bought a newer bigger freezer, a stand up one as well and we will be putting it in place of the fridge which is in the downstairs kitchen. I will also be able to declutter my kitchen a little more and put to use the downstairs kitchen cabinets for things we still want to keep but don't use as often. There is also a storage room, a little bit like a cold room. I'll have lots pf provisions there and will hopefully cut down on my trips to the store and maybe start canning as well.

All our winter coats will come out of the dusty garage. We will have 2 guest beds and exercise equipment. We've been wanting to cancel out gym memberships for a while. This will save us money.

But the most exciting part for me will be to use the living room as my new little classroom... Oh let me tell you the plans I have for THAT project. It's gonna look nice!!!!! I will take pics when the time comes.

SO that is about it for the excitement this month...

I guess I should add, that although I don't celebrate birthdays (therefore don't need birthday wishes), I did just turn 24 on the weekend.

I know what you're thinking, "Oh my goodness she's so ooold !" hehe ;)
