Update on February Declutter my Life Challenge

So in the beginning of the month, this is what my coat closet looked like.

Now this is what it looks like

What a difference!

This month I have been getting rid of 10 things everyday, trying to rid myself of clutter we all accumulate.  I have also been working on the nursery getting some things put away and getting rid of some other stuff.  Next onto out bedroom.  And honestly our bedroom is the wasteland of things we don't know where else to put.  It feels good to get somethings cleaned up!

How are your goals coming this month?  Any idea for my goal next month?

Happy Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day!  I have a fun day planned.

We woke up and had heart shaped french toast with daddy.

When I woke up Will had gotten me the big box of chocolates and roses.  I'm a lucky girl!

Today we are going to make daddy a valentine and spend the day cuddling and watching Charlie Brown's Valentine.

What are your special plans for the day?

Little Wonders Wednesday Link Up!

I have been out of the bloggy world this week.  My real world took up all my time.  Sick babies, sick mommy, over worked daddy = some much needed family wellness time together. I have some really great stuff planned for this week.  A new toddler activity, an update on my month of decluttering and some new cloth diaper tips I've learned.  Make sure you come back!

I'm sure you all have not been slacking so much in the bloggy world... so show me what you got!  I need some inspiration!

DIY Hair Detangler and Litte Wonders Wednesday Link up!

I went to the store looking for some detangler from the twins hair and then I realized it was pretty expensive for a little bottle and I had seen it made before so I thought I would give it a try.  So I made this hair detangler for pennies, and boy do I need it!

Look at those curls!  They sure do get tangled.

So all you so is put a tablespoon of conditioner in a little spray bottle, fill it with water, and shake it up.  That's it!  It works great!  Just a couple of sprays on their hair out o f the tub and it was so easy to get a comb through.

Now for the fun!  Link up with me!  I am also looking for co-hosts.  I would love to work with you so shoot me an email. adayinthelifefamilyblog@gmail.com

February Challenge: Declutter My Life

Ok, so January I watched no TV.  It gave me a lot of time to look around and realize.... I have a lot of stuff!  It is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate over a couple of years, especially when you have two little ones.  With a move looming in our future it occurs to me.  I may have TOO much stuff.

So this year I am trying to get organized and get in control, so here is what I'm going to do this month.  I am going to get rid of (throw away/ donate/ give away) 10 items a day.  I think this is going to be pretty easy.  I don't think people realize how much stuff they have.  I know I still have drawers full of VHS movies and I haven't had a VCR in years.  I have tons of baby clothes I can give to friends. And just random stuff I need to get rid of.

I am really excited to start this because cluttler has such an effect on my mood.  I know when my house is clean and clutter free I am in such a better place.  I am less quick to anger at my family, I feel like I am in more control of things when my living area is clutter free.  Over all I am just a happier stress free person when my living area is clean.  So why is it always cluttered?  I say it is because I have too much stuff.  I haven't used some of it in years.  So I am going to start today.  I am going to go into this closet and start.  I am going to find 10 things I can get rid of.  Tomorrow I will do the same things, until this closet is clutter free.  Then I will move onto the nursery and our bedroom and the kitchen.  I really think this is going to be easy.  By the end of the month I may have a few tough decisions to make, but we just gotta clean it up and get ready for a new way.

So here we go.  My month of decluttering.  What am I getting rid of today?
