Struggling to keep up!!

Good Morning all!!

     Well since we last talked my entire family has been struggling with a nasty cold that just won't let go. My poor little guys are coughing and hacking like you wouldn't believe.. Last night was the first night that G actually got some decent sleep in about 5 days. He finally let me put some Vapor rub on his chest and even asked for it a second time when he woke up at 3 coughing. Saved this mommy some precious minutes of sleep.

     Today is all about letting them play while they feel up to it and mommy getting beds changed while I feel up to it, so that we can have fresh beds for rest time today after lunch. There may or may not be some sanitizing involved.. Smiles.

     I have not forgotten my January goals of cleaning and organizing but they have temporarily taken a back seat to getting back to feeling better. I continue to search the web for motivation and inspiration to work on getting our house organized in a way that works for us. While reading from bed I found and old post on Little Lucy Lu's blog about her 40 bags in 40 Days Challenge... she doesn't specify the size of the bag that you have to clear out and some of her places on her list to clean out may be things that we haven't thought of yet check out her list here 40 Days List . She has a lot of great posts if you go ahead and read threw her blog.

     I am off to get working on my list of to do's and find out what works and what is right for me! When I figure it out I will let you know. Maybe you can tweak it and add to what your doing and find the perfect fit for you too. 

     Until then stay healthy, keep warm, and if your in a searching the wonderful world wide web mood come check us out at Little Guys Stitching I have it on good authority that the little guys will be having some fun this week and you may just see some of that listed in our shop.

New year.. New beginnings and promises.

   

 It is a new year with new challenges and new beginnings. This year will definitely have its challenges. The first for me will be posting here on this blog. I have told my self time and time again that I want to do this. I want to share things and be accountable and then be able to look back at the past year and see that even though it may not seem like it, I did more than be just a stay at home mom and wife.

     Every year we tell ourselves that we are going to be more organized, less cluttered and that we will be happier if we are. We start the program and some where in the 3rd or 4th month things get busy and get left behind. I'm sure that this year will be no different. The difference this year? I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I am going to try my best and know at the end of the year I tried to be a good mom and wife. 

     So here it is...Declutter 365: A year of 15 Minute Decluttering Missions. This is the program that we are going to be working through and yes we are a couple weeks behind but our goal as a family is to do our best. 

     We also have many many goals for our businesses Little Guys Stitching  and Usborne Books and More those too will unfold as we go threw the year. So stick around and stay tuned this year is going to be big for us!!

     First up a clean kitchen!! This Momma needs to get to cleaning!

Until the next time!
