40 Day Challenge: Day 29

Forgot to post this morning. Oops!

The dishes got done, the living room was tidy and I went to bed at 9:30 PM and Titus slept through, so I didn't wake up until 7 AM, wonderful!!

40 Day Challenge: Day 28

It was a busy day, lunch with friends, shopping for a large cooking day on Saturday (friends and I are making 3 different dishes for the freezer), then a nice date night with my wonderful husband!
So, we got home at 10:30 PM, the house was quiet and I decided to just hit the shower instead of washing the dishes and making alot of noise. Because I have been keeping up on the dishes, it wasn't that horrible washing them up the next morning- just one large load and I was done. Not bad at all!

40 Day Challenge: Day 27

The living room has been the same for a while... I really want to simplify it more. All the books are on childbirth, so when I can make some money with this blog (I have about a month left before I can submit the blog) I am planning to save up money for couches (That were at World Market, but now I can't find them! ack!), which have storage under them. Then I can put all my childbirth stuff in the couches, it will be handy, but not out in the open.


Look at that empty sink! Isn't it pretty?!

40 Day Challenge: Day 26

If was a busy evening and the living room handled it ok, but the kitchen not so well. Thankfully Brian pitched in and helped me get done with most of the dishes. I left a couple soaking over night- only because I was anxious to get to bed and didn't want to wait for the 10 minutes they needed to soak.


Meat was left on the counter in the bowl, thawing/soaking in salt water.

40 Day Challenge: Day 25

The house is still cluttered. But these 2 parts of the house I feel like I have started to maintained. I like it.
I don't know if I had mentioned it on here or not, but I had really only intended to work on the main living room/dining room area through this first 40 days. I do enjoy the living room right now. And I'm liking my sink area too- since I've been making it a priority to keep the dishes done.

40 Day Challenge: Day 24

Who's wise idea was it to get a super capacity washer/dryer anyway??? oh yeah, me... ugg


I was all fired up and ready to go, sadly my work doesn't make as much difference as I would like, so I got tired. I did get alot done. I went through the clothes that was my goal and it was accomplished. I kept out some for my little brothers and then I kept the jeans that didn't have holes in them, that way the boys can just head downstairs and get a "new" pair out.


I cleared off the top of the entertainment center. Just was cluttery, so I moved the movies to a shelf.


Brian helped me get the dishes done, I love waking up to a clean sink! The dishes you see are all clean and air drying.



I also went through Titus' and Naomi's toys and whittled them down. Kids don't really play with that much stuff- if you've gotten rid of most of their toys, how much did you keep for them?
