Yikes- I am usually great about keeping my blog up but have been totally consumed elsewhere. Where you ask?
I have been on a organizing rampage! Unless it has 2 or 4 legs, EVERYTHING in my house is on the chopping block. In the last 2 weeks, I have donated 4 large black bags of stuff, thrown out more than that, decluttered my every space of the house, cleaned out my computer/photo files, cleaned out the entire garage as a family, gave away 1/2 my cd collection (with Pandora, I never listen to cds anymore- that is SO 2011), organized our entire DVD collection into magazine holders AND started my photo album project that goes back 8 years. Phew! I live by a motto that with every new item that enters our house, 1 thing must go. That was so tough after the holidays since the kids acquired way too much stuff but we did it.
Even though a Simple 2012 is my goal, my obsession with Pinterest is not helping. I have so many recipes/projects/ideas floating around my head! Every night, I lie in bed with Camille to get her to sleep and happily pin to my heart's desire on my phone. So, as soon as I master my new sewing machine (Christmas gift from the in-laws!), make my homemade Valentine crafts and bake the homemade bread I pinned, I will finally post our Christmas pictures!
