I think setting monthly goals is a great exercise for getting things done! So Here Are My June Goals! 1) Plan and Host Birthday Party: My daughters celebrated their 13th birthday last month! Their birthday is toward the end of the month, so we often wind up throwing a party for them in June instead of May, since it's hard to compete with Memorial Day.

May Goals
Today I am joining my friend, Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom, in sharing my personal goals for May. I think setting monthly goals is a great exercise for getting things done! 1. Clean and Beautify Backyard. I have been all about cleaning and organizing my home lately.

I don't think my husband and I have Continue reading...

A House Full of Clutter: My Daily Struggle
When my husband and I moved into our house, our home, save for a small pile of boxes in the basement, was blissfully empty. We wondered how we would fill the house! Now, some 12 years later, our house is filled with so much stuff that I don’t know what to do with it all! I am constantly working to organize it all. An Organized Chaos The biggest problem in my house is that nobody (except for me) really wants to get rid of anything. While I’ve been dutifully emptying my unneeded stuff out of our home bit by bit, the other members of my family have been clinging to nearly every possession! My Continue reading...
Coupons.com #SuperheroMom Giveaway
*This post is sponsored by Coupons.com. I received a Target gift card from Coupons.com for this post -- the gift card helped me make my living room remodel happen. (I used the gift card towards a new accent chair!) The living room in my home has always been a family-friendly space.
