Spring Cleaning

Ahhh, I love the feeling of de-cluttering! It's like you are wiping the slate clean.

We organized Gabby's room tonight. We had things laying around from after we got back from Arizona. Also pictures and decorations from her birthday party. I cleared out her dresser and hubby did the closet. We went through her clothes and tossed into a box, anything smaller than 9months.

Two boxes full of clothes ready to go into storage. Just like that. We are going to hold on to her smaller clothes, "just in case." We still have a little more to go, organizing her shoes, headbands and flowers, etc. but we are getting there.

We started on our room too! In our room we have a shelf that holds about 6 bins. In those bins, you will find a whole mess of things. My makeup bin is all fixed up :)

What is the rule? If you haven't used/worn it in the last 6 months, get rid of it. Right? I need to remember this tomorrow, when I tackle the rest of the bins and my closet. Dun dun dun!

Spring cleaning is under way!

Make Me Up Monday

MAC mini haul.

Once in awhile, it's fun to step out of your comfort zone. I can say I did just that with my latest MAC purchases. Every thing I bought (except Japanese Maple and an eye shadow that hasn't come in yet) is unlike me.

If you peeked into my makeup collection, you'd see a lot of browns, grays, and black eye shadows. You'd see pale pink and a variety of different nude lip sticks and glosses.

I do have a few pinks, greens, even blues in my eyeshadow collection, but they are deep and more everyday wear that is easy to blend with the colors I normally choose.

So this! This is definitely different for me. I am looking forward to trying out all of my new eyeshadows and lippies!

Time Management

I feel like the first time, in a whole year, we had a smooth day that was full of things we needed to accomplish... And we accomplished them faster than we usually do.

Here's a run down for yesterday:

•While hubby was at the gym, Gabby and I headed to Walgreens to pick up our pictures (and to buy a new nail polish and eye brow brush).

•We came back home by 10:30am and she took her nap and hubby returned home from the gym.

•We went and got groceries and photo albums, and made it home around 2pm.

•Had some lunch and put Gabby down for her second nap.

•I had photos put in books while talking to my Gram on the phone.

•Dinner was ready to eat at 6.

•Bath and my shower done by 7pm.

•Relaxed and watched American Idol and Gabby was asleep by 8:30pm.

•I got lunch made and had more time to just relax. 2 hours of relaxing time!

Usually we are RUSHING to get dinner done, Gabby's bath done, and more, all at the same time.

I don't know what change for us yesterday. Better time management? Better multi tasking? Whatever it was, worked. I hope this hangs around from here on out.

This is my first post for Wordless Wednesday! Basically, every Wednesday I'll be posting pictures from the past week that may or may not have made it to Instagram or Facebook.
