Hello strangers! Sorry it has been a while since my last post. Kellen and I have been pretty boring, really. Nothing big to report, except that we have spring fever pretty badly. And with spring fever, comes antsy-ness. Many of my friends have been gifted with what I have dubbed as 'life skills' - they can cook, scrapbook, craft, sew (pretty amazing things I might add), keep a busy household of children organized, knit, blog like professionals etc..... they are amazing. I was talking with Kellen, and I was trying to figure out what my 'life skill' is....and crickets chirped. Fantastic. I mean you are talking to the girl that super glued a button on one of Kellen's dress shirts one time in a pinch (cringe, it's okay).

While I was hunting down those annoying crickets, I realized that there is one thing I can and enjoy doing. CLEANING. Not as glamorous as everyone else, but practical I guess. So, I made one of my famous to-do lists, turned on the Radio Margaritaville on my Sirius XM, opened some windows and got into my one 'life skill.'

Just seeing this makes me get excited

To-Do List. So far, I have:

• vacuumed and cleaned all baseboards
• vacuumed the blinds and window treatments
• dusted the ceiling fans, light fixtures and ceiling corners, etc.
• emptied out the kitchen cabinets, purged and cleaned the shelves
• cleaned out from under our bed, moved mattress and swept
• cleaned out the fridge and washed the shelves
• spot treated the carpet
• hand washed the hardwood floors
• cleaned out the flower beds and planted pansies. our bulbs are popping out too!
• Kellen got a new tool chest, so his recent project has been cleaning out the garage and organizing it. now i'm not embarrassed to have people see it!
  

We still want to:

• recaulk baseboards where needed
• clean out all the windows and window sills
  

Our house is almost ready for spring!

These have been my two best friends this week
