recipe for magic: one radio and one pot of coffee



I don't know what hit me, but I spent the entire day yesterday cleaning the kitchen. Not like, do the dishes and wipe down the counters clean...no. I mean went through every single cupboard/cabinet/drawer, filled a big box with items for goodwill, organized everything in its own little home, kind of clean. Give me a radio and a pot of coffee, and the possibilities are endless!!!! I can't say how good it feels to walk into a very clean, very organized, less is more kind of room. I want my whole house to be this way. My goal is to clean and organize the whole house before the end of August, when school starts. One room at a time, one room at a time!




I hope you all had a fun fourth of July! These times aren't easy, but I am so thankful for my country and my freedom.

If you are in the neighborhood this weekend, you might stop on by. There will be a garage sale here...with things like vintage table linens/napkin rings, a variety of dishes, some funky furniture, and clothes of the teeny tiny sort.

Today: go through clothes, wash and package bed linens for sale, clean and organize bathroom #1

hmmm...what will I do with the garage sale proceeds? Maybe this sofa...


or this bed....





Okay, back to work!

Your girls are adorable (and Brooklyn looks so grown up!). How great that you're going to have this fantastic photographic record of their childhoods. I've clicked back onto your blog a couple of times because they make me smile.
